Beroli, viewed with a texteditor my *.m3u files has this structure on the iMac. If your using a NAS, I suppose the readable directory structure would be different from the OSX example beneath: /Users/Music/Classic Rock/Artist/Album/song.xxx

I guess this will be a question for an owner of Synology Nas's to find out how to fill in the correct directory structure in the m3u file to get it readable on the Moment. In a quick search on the net using a phrase "Synology drive/folder structure", I found it has to be looking like this: M:\Music\Classic Rock\Artist\Album\song.xxx

Secondly, how did you create your playlist from your Nas, with VLC, Foobar, WMP... Is it pointed correctly with the software you have been used?

If you have a correctly pointed m3u playlist and the Moment is still not finding it, could it be a problem of not using Twonky on the Nas? Here you find install files for Twonky on your Nas: 

Hi Chris,

thank you very much for your help and your advices to solve my issue. 

I created the Playlist-Files with VLC. I imported the files directly from my NAS into the VLC-Player and exported them as a m3u-Playlist. then I copied the m3u-File in the same directory as shown on your Screenshot. But I will have a look into the File with a text-editor. Maybe something is wrong with the Playlist itself.

Unfortunately there is no Twonky-Server for the Synology 412+. Twonky stoped the support for some Synology NAS after a major OS-Update from Synology some years ago. And almost like with Apple - there is no way back to a old OS-Version - even if you want to. Therefore I have to find a solution without a Twonky-Server. The DLNA-Music-Server from Synology is quite fast and very reliable. The Moment shows the files and the covers, but not the Playlists.

Thank you again for your help, I will keep you posted about the progress.

Cheers

I have Twonky running on my Mac, but all music files is on my Synology NAS DS-212J. That is originally my iTunes library.

That works fine. I initially used the DLNA music server on Synology, but I had a few problems with that, including having the file extensions shown when Moment was showing the song titles. Look here: /forum/general-discussion-and-questions/anyone-have-fileextensions-shown-in-moment

Dear Beroli, If you created a playlist with VLC not on the Nas itself, but from your network it will not work.

If I do that the m3u file gives me a directory structure: /Volumes/Music/Classic Rock/Artist/Album/song.xxx which is not the correct path, its a network path. If I place this m3u file on my server the Moment will never find the music because its not the correct path.

Chris

@ Chris

aah I understand, I thought the moment needs the networkpath to access the musicfiles - thats why I created it in this way. I will try your advice. thanks a lot and have a nice day. 

Cheers

@ hiort

First - thank you for starting this thread. One of the reasons I decided to buy the Moment.

Yes I red about the file extension issue in your post - but this would be only a cosmetic issue for me. ;-)  

My priorities are slightly different. Yes I could use the Twonky-Server on the Mac and access the files from the NAS, but for this solution- it is mandatory to keep the Mac always on. You know - men are always toying with their software - but their wifes prefer it, when everything is working instantly - without checking the mac/running software-servers... 

Maybeeeeeeee all of this will be fixed with the upcomming major update

:-)))

Your wife needs an update 👍 😁

MM

@ MM

you had to take this free-kick [:-)]

But I am sure you knew, that I meant the upcomming major-update from B&O. There is no need for any update in other areas.

Cheers

Does anyone else have the file extension issue with their Synology NAS?

Beroli,

What worked for me was to delete all information in the path but for the artist name, album, track etc. The dealer did it for me using a Microsoft computer as editing the m3u file on a iMac didn't seem to work.

good luck!
