Serviio

I have posted a couple of times this week but have not seen any replies.
Some of my mu3 playlists appear in Servio, but none of the playlists containing file paths are appearing.
i have run the intel AV controller and the playlists dont appear there either.
I have logged the log4j.xml file;
2014-01-21 20:03:46,155 INFO [ServiioConsole] Initializing Serviio Console
2014-01-21 20:03:46,232 DEBUG [ApplicationInstanceManager] Port is already taken. Notifying first instance.

I create all my playlists from mediamonkey on a Windows system containing the file path;
"\\mysynology\folder\folder\mymusicfile"
anyone have any suggestions how to configure serviio to recognise my playlists (i have 890 - so modifying them individually is not an option)

Do you have \\mysynology\folder as a shared folder in Serviio?

Yes the Media folder its a shared folder.
all my playlists are in the folder below.
\\mysynology\media\music\playlists

can you enable detailed log, restart Serviio and post the log here?

I hope this is the correct log info.

No, there should be a lot of entries about checking for files and you should see some entries about the playlist and trying to find the playlist items (and failing).

It might take a few minutes to produce the log after you restart serviio / pc.

BTW, can you see the files that are part of the playlists in the other categories? (Folders, Artists, etc). If not it'd mean access rights are not correct.

I modified the log4j.xml file located in my windows PC
I then opened the log file located in windows c:\program files\serviio\log\serviio.txt
No further entries are showing on the log file except for hourly refreshes


If I go to the package center in DSM on my Synology, there is a Log tab for serviio which shows info I that i think is relevant.
However it being a java window in my browser I cannot copy paste the text. I attach a screen shot. I don't khow where to access the log file on the NAS.

Regarding the audio files contained in the playlist files, yes I can see them in Serviio folder structure.
I have also checked that all users have read write access to the Media folders, as far as i can make out it is enabled.

ah yes, that seems to be the problem. Can you enable detailed logging on the NAS side and find these errors again? There should be some DEBUG statements before these WARN errors.

Also, can you paste one of your m3u files here?

here is a sample of the m3u file.


Can you provide more detailed instructions how to access the serviio log file on the NAS? I have tried ssh into @appstore but it wont let me. i can only locate it on my PC which does not appear to be sufficient.

I found the Link for Detailed Logging to be very Vague for a NAS installation, but there are some instructions in the notes section to enable detailed logging using a package called Config File Editor (CFE)
http://pcloadletter.co.uk/2012/01/25/serviio-syno-package/
So after taking a shot in the dark I added the location of the Serviio Log in the Config File Editor in DSM. No SSH

The Log File is Compiling now so I will be able to copy paste and post it shortly.

below is the log details.

So do you have this (or a part of that) added as a shared folder?



Note the case might need to be the same too.

On My Synology the shared folder is "Media"
the path on the synology is


The Windows Path is

Do you Think I need to modify the Playlist path to reflect the all upper case "DISKSTATION"?

you can try that.

And you can also try the Synology local path, as that is perhaps how the local Serviio would see it.

I created 4 playlists with different file path variations - none of which are appearing in serviio.

try with /volume1/Media/Music instead of \\volume1...

That has worked - Thank you. However how can I modify 890 playlists on a windows machine to use a linux file path?
Volume1 dose not exist in a windows environment - and then there's the problem of using "/" ??

Well, Serviio runs on the server end, so it doesn't know anything about your Windows mapped drives and paths. I agree it's a bit of a pain.
