Using WMP 12, I loaded several hundred CD's. I also created several playlists. I enabled music streaming from my server (Windows server 2012E). I have a network connected Receiver (Yamaha RA-X720). I can play individual tracks and entire albums. I can also see the list of playlists, but when I try and access a list, I receive an "Access error" message.
Seems odd since the receiver can access the Playlist folder on the server.
Does anyone know if there is a known problem with Playlist files not being on the C: drive? I saw an earlier post (2009) with a workaround to move the playlist file to the C: drive. I tried that and no luck.
I keep all the music is on the E:\ drive of my server.
Here's portion of the Playlist.wpl file; Any help would be appreciated.
