Many thanks for all the comments to date.
Despite trying numerous variations on the format of the pathnames etc in my .m3u playlists stored on the NAS (using ReadyDLNA for streaming) I still cannot get the Sirocco to reliably/consistently play these Playlists on the NAS. However what I have found is that the Sirocco will correctly play a playlist stored & created on my Netgear DuoNas BUT only if I access it using my PC as the Media Server (which in turn is effectively accessing this NAS Playlist via WMP ie it shows up in the WMP Playlist because the NAS is set up to be the music library within WMP on the PC). Obviulsy this "solution" requires PC to be on which goes against concept of having a NAS.
Does this finding help in identifying where the problem could be ie Sirocco or NAS ??
