Re: Playlist Error on QNAP
Lines like '/share/Multimedia/Playlists/..\Various Artists\Now That's What I Call Music! 2\1-08 - 99 Red Balloons.mp3' doesn't look like a valid path. This is a mixture of forward and backslashes (UNIX vs. Windows).

Re: Playlist Error on QNAP
Ok so what do you propose as a solution?
The music files play fine browsing / searching residing in the same locations
Re: Playlist Error on QNAP
Assuming your playlist named '/share/Multimedia/Playlists/Birthday.m3u' has the following content:
[CODE]..\Various Artists\Now That's What I Call Music! 2\1-08 - 99 Red Balloons.mp3
..\Various Artists\Now That's What I Call a Wedding!\2-20 - Walking on Sunshine.mp3
..\Various Artists\Now That's What I Call Music! 87\1-01 - Happy (From Despicable Me 2).mp3
...[/CODE]
and that the actual files themselves reside in /share/Multimedia/Various Artists/
Have you tried changing the path separators to the UNIX standard, something like:
[CODE]../Various Artists/Now That's What I Call Music! 2/1-08 - 99 Red Balloons.mp3
../Various Artists/Now That's What I Call a Wedding!/2-20 - Walking on Sunshine.mp3
../Various Artists/Now That's What I Call Music! 87/1-01 - Happy (From Despicable Me 2).mp3
...[/CODE]
Re: Playlist Error on QNAP
Additionally I would try to use absolute paths instead of relative and to avoid the subpath "/../".

There are no benefits to having absolute paths unless you want to access them ONLY from a single location (the QNAP) AND want to be able to change the location of the playlist files at will (without having to modify the playlists).
I have the master copy of my music on a Windows machine, but sync and have it served over UPnP from a linux box. Using relative paths allows me to use the playlists from any environment.
Re: Playlist Error on QNAP
The absolute paths have the advantage in the first step, that you don't have to struggle with the actual directory or a wrong base path. Later on, one can change back to relative paths.

The OP already has relative paths in their playlists (I'm assuming from the log file) so I don't think it's too complicated for them, and even if they didn't it's worth the 5 minute investment to reap the benefits.
