I am the owner of a brand new My Book Live running firmware 01.02.03 (the latest)
However there is a problem adding playlists in the ‘Shared Music’ folder in that any playlist added appears empty. This appears to be because the ‘Shared Music’ folder is mounted on /shares/Public/Shared Music/… but the Twonky server only looks for music for the playlists in /shares/lo/…
I have tried adding ‘…/’ at the start of the path in the M3U playlist file but Twonky seems to strip this before considering the file name.
I have also tried creating a new share called ‘lo’ and while Twonky t then finds the file to add to the playlist it does not exist in the Twonky media database so fails at the next step.
Any suggestions on how I can get M3U playlists to work?
Thanks
Note you can view the Twonky logs by going to http://the_ip_address_of_your_MB_live:9000 in your web browser and going into the maintenance menu.
I don’t quite understand your problem. Twonky looks for music in all my public folders. I just make a playlist and add it to the public/music directory and play from there.
I’m not sure where your /shares/lo comes from and why you believe that Twonky only looks in this directory.
I suspect this problem may be specific to the Mybook Live. When you view the Twonky log file for the playlist in question I can see:

I am using relative playlists but Twonky appears to try and work relative to a location that does exist - namely /shares/lo hence it can not find any tracks.
