twonky, qnap, and sonos playlist problem

Hello to all the twonky technical gurus out there.

I have a qnap ts-269 pro, running twonky 6.0.39 and a sonos play 5.

the problem I'm having is that some playlists work (generated by windows media player) and some don't (auto generated by twonky, such as highly rated or most played).

it seems the auto generated ones are truncating the path, so instead of;
\\172.16.32.4\Multimedia\Shared Music\Compilations\Anthems Electronic 80s 2 [Disc 1]\1-02 Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This).mp3
sonos manager sees it as;
\\172.16.32.4\Multimedia\Compilations\Anthems Electronic 80s 2 [Disc 1]\1-02 Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This).mp3

any ideas on how to resolve, i've created a user account called sonos that has access to the
\\172.16.32.4\Multimedia\Shared Music
folder and it indexes the files ok (have 22k mp3's).

thanks in advance for your assistance.

regards, adrian

what are these set to in the twonky server ini?

contentbase=
contentdir=

Code: Select all

http://serverip/rpc/get_option?contentbase
http://serverip/rpc/get_option?contentdir
also, is it happening only on Compilations or others also

Hi, Sorry for the delay in responding, been away skiing, here is the detail from;
http://172.16.32.4:9000/rpc/get_option?contentbase
/share

and

http://172.16.32.4:9000/rpc/get_option?contentdir
-A|/Multimedia,+V|/Multimedia/Shared Videos,+P|/Multimedia/Shared Pictures,+M|/Multimedia/Shared Music

the actual path is;
[/share/Multimedia/Shared Music] # pwd
/share/Multimedia/Shared Music
[/share/Multimedia/Shared Music] #


not sure if this helps.
