First, a little intro to my setup:
- NAS consists of a simple external harddrive plugged into a dd-wrt router via USB
- Laptop connected to the router's LAN is using Media Player Classic
- I have also tried using VLC instead of Media Player Classic, the same problem ensues
So, basically when I type this into Media Player Classic as the file to open, it works:
Problem is, I have a playlist.m3u on my laptop's local drive, and it has this in it:Code:ftp://Username:[email protected]/audio/song001.mp3
So the idea is, when I double-click the playlist.m3u on my local drive, and it should've opened all the songs in the "audio" directory on my NASCode:ftp://Username:[email protected]/audio/
But that doesn't work; the error is that the returned playlist does not contain "Usernameassword" in the individual songs' directories.
One work-around is to have each song's directory in playlist.m3u. For example:
However, this quickly becomes a pain if I add 20 songs into the "audio" directory. I would have to manually add 20 entries to the local playlist.m3uCode:ftp://Username:[email protected]/audio/song001.mp3 ftp://Username:[email protected]/audio/song002.mp3 ftp://Username:[email protected]/audio/song003.mp3 ftp://Username:[email protected]/audio/song004.mp3 ftp://Username:[email protected]/audio/song005.mp3
So I ask, NBR. What's the proper way to stream an entire directory of music from a NAS to my laptop?
