SOLVED MiniDLNA & FreeNAS 9.2.1.9

[FSarti]

Hi,
I'm a FreeNAS noob but managed to get things installed and working as far as I need them. I'm having one issue and I don't know if it's FreeNAS/MiniDLNA related or if it may be something on my end.
MiniDLNA is running and shows on my clients but I can't get my saved .m3u playlists to show up, save for my XBox360. Everything has static IP's and I'm running FreeNAS 9.2.1.9 and MiniDLNA 1.1.1_5 installed via GUI with the PBI file.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance..

Were you able to figure this out?

Yes, after trying renaming my .m3u's, clearing my media clients db's and a few other things I realized it had to have something to do with the path string in the .m3u file itself. My CIFS share in windows has a drive letter of Z:/ so my laptops (Win7's) and my XBox would read them fine but nothing else would. I edited the path in the files from Z:/Folder/Folder/Song.mp3 to ../Folder/Folder/Song.mp3 following some info I read on a wiki page about .m3u files which also explained the difference between windows paths and linux paths and it worked. Now all my devices see my playlists. The only thing I've noticed is that now WMP doesn't open them but I've worked around that by installing MediaMonkey to open and add/delete songs and using the export to playlists option.
