Delete corrupt playlist subfolder on RN10400
Hi All. Something bugging me and want to sort it out. I have a ReadyNAS 104 and I want to delete a subfolder of the systems folder called "ReadyNAS_104\Music\Playlists". I can see it in Windows Ex...
Success!! Thank you!
IN Windows File Explorer, selected "NAS_VALLEYSIDE" under "Network". Searched for word "Cypress" and it found them. From here the DELETE option is available.
I will now run a re-scan just to finish off. If totally good will mark as an Accepted Solution.
Thanks for your time.
Hi. There are no folders whatsoever visible on the Share called 'Music'. If there were, I'm sure I could achieve my goal.
So, any expert advice how to access 'ReadyNAS_104\Music\Playlists' through the Admin Page would be most appreciated. This is bugging me! :(
Hi MARKEYBOY,
If it's not seen in the admin page, I suspect that this is a a cache on your PC. Could you post a screenshot so we can confirm?
Kind regards,

Hi BrianL.
Post a screenshot of what exactly?

Hi MARKEYBOY,
You mentioned that you can see this directory(subfolder) via Window Explorer but it isn't visible in the admin page. We just wanted to confirm and see for ourselves that this directory really exist and if it is, remote or backend access would be needed.
Kind regards,

They absolutely DO exist and I shall explain why I know this. I have a Cambridge Audio CXN network streamer in the living room which sees the NAS playlists - these are the exact same folders that we are currently discussing.
These folders are generated by the NAS and triggered when I create a playlist. I export an 'm3u' playlist from iTunes, then copy/paste this into the NAS Share Folder: ReadyNAS 104\Mark\Music Library. Then, during the course of the next couple of minutes or so, a new folder will appear in ReadyNAS 104\Music\Playlists. I know this because I have watched it happen right before my eyes. These playlist folders contents are audio files associated and are what network streamers (such as my CXN) look for. If I ever go back to ReadyNAS 104\Mark\Music Library and delete the 'm3u' file, then the corresponding playlist folder will automotically delete itself over the next minute or so.
So what has happenend is that an 'm3u' file has been deleted as normal by me, but something has corrupted along the line somewhere. These 'corrupt' folders also have a weird data stamp embedded in them. For example, one folder is called "Cypress Hill (2016_05_20 08_33_46 UTC)" so clearly captured a date and time occurence.
Does this make it any clearer?
