Hi
I hope someone can help me please...
I run Asset UPnP R4.4 on my Qnap TS-459 Pro II NAS streaming music via a wired connection through my Naim Uniqute 2 - using the Naim App on my ipad to control what's playing.
Almost all of my music are FLAC files ripped from CD using dBpoweramp CD Ripper.
I've created some .m3u playlists semi-automatically using a Perl sript - initially I've just created a playlist for each artist containing all the songs from their albums (based on the folder structure they're stored in).
If I go to the Asset UPnP main menu in the Naim App and select Playlists I can see what appears to be the full set of playlists saved on the NAS drive in a folder that Asset knows to read them from.
However I must be missing something about the way M3U playlists work - because although the playlists appear, when I click on a lot of them they don't contain all the music that's in the playlist. Some are missing several full albums - others appear to be missing a few tracks.
Example 1: A-ha
A-ha.txt
This playlist contains the tracks from 3 albums - but in the Naim App it's only showing the last 17 tracks starting from this one:
*EXTINF:-1,01. Take on Me
/share/Music/Lossless/A-ha/The Definitive Singles Collection 1984-2004/01. Take on Me.flac
Where did the first 2 albums 20 tracks go? They're definitely on the NAS drive in the folder specified. I can see them in the Naim App through main menu -> Artist/Album -> [All Artists] -> A-ha.
Example 2: Avril Lavigne
Avril Lavigne.txt
This playlist contains the tracks from 5 albums - but in the Naim App it's missing 6 seemingly random tracks:
*EXTINF:-1,02. Here's to Never Growing Up
/share/Music/Lossless/Avril Lavigne/Avril Lavigne/02. Here's to Never Growing Up.flac
*EXTINF:-1,02. What the Hell
/share/Music/Lossless/Avril Lavigne/Goodbye Lullaby/02. What the Hell.flac
*EXTINF:-1,12. Too Much to Ask
/share/Music/Lossless/Avril Lavigne/Let Go/12. Too Much to Ask.flac
*EXTINF:-1,09. I Don't Have to Try
/share/Music/Lossless/Avril Lavigne/The Best Damn Thing/09. I Don't Have to Try.flac
*EXTINF:-1,10. One of Those Girls
/share/Music/Lossless/Avril Lavigne/The Best Damn Thing/10. One of Those Girls.flac
*EXTINF:-1,10. Fall to Pieces
/share/Music/Lossless/Avril Lavigne/Under My Skin/10. Fall to Pieces.flac
Why are these tracks not showing up in the playlist in the Naim App please?
Note - I've had to change the file name extensions of the attached files to get the file uploader to accept them. I've changed them from .m3u to .txt
Sorry if I've done something silly - I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I was hoping to be able to create some neat playlists that I could save & play - but I seem to have fallen at the first hurdle.
Regards,
David
