DLNA Playlist
Hello,
Are playlists supported? If so what format do they need to be in? I can't get them to show up on my devices. Photos and MP3s are working fine.
Update:
Just in case support is going to be added, here is what I found:
When testing, I am able to get WMP11 to share playlists and my devices can play them via UPnP share.
You cannot find them by browsing through the folders through. You have to use a Playlist menu item.
At the top level, the WMP share has:
MUSIC
VIDEO
PICTURES
PLAYLISTS
Under MUSIC there is also a "Music Playlists" Menu item.
The ReadyNas Share has:
MUSIC
PICTURES
VIDEO
==> No option to get to playlists.
Devices: Archos 5, Phillips NP2900

- You're right, there's no support for playlists yet. It will come in a future update, but I don't have a timeframe for that at this point.
- Thank you. It's good to know that I wasn't doing something wrong.
- Bump - Has there been any progress on playlist support? I'm finding browsing my large music library on an xbox 360 to be a bit slow and think playlists would really make the UPnP experience nicer.
TIA,
aka - I'd be interested if there was any update on this as well. I have just got a Sony Bravia that streams DLNA stuff but no playlists from my ReadyNAS... bah!
- Still new to this (2 months into owning my NAS) – I dumped everything off my PC into the NAS which included M3U playlists for music files; they are being shared and my Samsung TV (LE46B650) sees and plays the lists fine adding a “playlist” option under music.
Testing with videos - it doesn't appear to work; we don't get the "playlist" option. Skywalker wrote: You're right, there's no support for playlists yet. It will come in a future update, but I don't have a timeframe for that at this point.
I am terribly sorry for the intrusion , but i have a question about DLNA also , please answer me Skywalker :
Will you (in the near future) plan to support PS3 subtitles with your DLNA service?
Thank's- Has support for Playlists via DLNA been added? I'm interested in this now, too.
aka - Sorry, found this thread via google but now found the Add-on thread. Looks like I need to upgrade separately than the NAS OS. thanks.
- akaman - can you post a link to the Add-on thread - I'd be interested to read what you have found...
Thx, NJM - Just the main thread:
viewtopic.php?f=76&t=27946
Playlists were added in something like March 2010. Even the latest update was supposed to make some playlist improvements. Now I just have to find the best way to make m3u playlists... ;)
So, I haven't tested the feature myself, so YMMV.
