Hello jubei04,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I’m aware of the My Cloud app and use it frequently. However, the interface is a bit clunky, and it’s more of a file browser than a media player (no lists by artist, album etc and no playlists).
I have made some progress with media:connect, concerning the display of folders and music files which I had deleted. I disabled media streaming from the MBL Dashboard, and then re-enabled it. The deleted folders and files no longer appeared. I don’t believe mdeia:connect (and similar apps such as MLPlayer) use the forked-daapd server, because if I stop the server they continue to work. I think they’re using Upnp (Universal plug and play) but not dlna.
I haven’t been able to get playlists to work with media:connect. I produced some test files in both xml and m3u format and neither of them show up in the playlists. They do work with iTunes running on my iMac.
