that’s just the text file. i converted that file to .m3u and it’s on my NAS.
What about the formatting of the m3u file? It shouldn’t be an .rtf with the postfix amended, does it need to be a txt file without any formatting?
Well that was it. I copied into my default Mac text editor and got that format. I think I thought .txt and .rtf didn’t make difference. It’s working now and has proper titles in the Naim App. Thanks for everyone’s help.

Nice one.
What’s the story with the HD radio? What source files can they be using? It sounds BIG on my system.
I’m not sure how that works.
The RP FLAC sounds really good through the minimstreamer.
I haven’t been able to get the JB Radio FLAC station to work, not sure what’s going on with that one. But both the RP stations sound great. Thanks again for the help. Big improvement.
Sorry, just seen this thread. As you have found, M3U files must be plain text files, not enriched formats like RTF.
Not sure about this:
“I still don’t have the UI on the minimserver app on the QNAP so I can’t confirm ministreamer is running.”
I use MinimServer on a Synology NAS and an RPi and there is no UI at the server end so I expect that’s also the case for QNAP. There is a simple web page that can be used to check status on the server and to force a rescan, but the UI to MinimServer is MinimWatch and that runs on a desktop system and it discovers and connects to all the MinimServer instances you have running.
Anyway, it looks like you now have the RP streams working, although I’m not sure what the issue is with JB Radio 2. What happens if you put their stream URL into a web browser? Paste this into your browser address bar:
http://199.189.87.9:10999/flac
If you get music your connection to their server is working OK.
Wrt to the UI, the setup/user guide mentioned the menu on minimerver app in the QNAP. Not sure why I can’t see it but the minimwatch on my Mac is working and I’m able to use it to configure and install packages. And I’m able to click the minimserver app on the QNAP and it opens the web page where I can rescan and change the file path on my QNAP.
The JB Radio FLAC link works when I click it so not sure why it’s not working in the m3u file.
Here’s the text again for illustration:
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,[RP;flac] Radio Paradise FLAC
http://stream.radioparadise.com/flac
#EXTINF:-1,[RPMellow;flac] Radio Paradise Mellow Mix FLAC
http://stream.radioparadise.com/mellow-flac
#EXTINF:-1,[JBRadio2;flac] JB Radio2 FLAC
http://199.189.87.9:10999/flac
…
That same file is working fine here and for others I think, so I’m not sure why it’s not working for you. You could try turning on the finest log level in MinimWatch to see if any errors are reported when you try connecting to the stream.
Is there an alternative text that can be used in the .m3u file that will accomplish the same task? I’d like to figure out how to get the JBR FLAC.
That’s the only URL for the stream as far as I know.
Did you try turning logging on? Start MinimWatch, choose “Show Log” and then change the log level to “Debug”. Then try selecting the JBRadio2 stream from the playlist. You’ll see a lot of text scroll past in the log window, paste that here.
Also, make sure you are running the latest versions of MinimServer/Streamer. At the time of writing the latest versions are 0.8.5.3 and 0.7.13 respectively. You can check the versions you have in MinimWatch in the Packages tab.
I have 8.5.2 says I’m up to date.
I cleared the log before trying JB Radio and here’s what I got.
Not sure what all this means. It’s long.

It there a competition running for longest post?!
Might be worth emailing this to the minim guy via their website - see what he has to say.
The relevant part of the log is here:
Everything looks good until MinimStreamer establishes a socket connection to the JBRadio server and tries to start reading but the socket connection is closed for some reason.
As suggested above, if you want to pursue this further you are best posting your problem with the above log in the MinimServer forum. I am sure you will get a response from the developer.
One last question: I don’t think you have mentioned which streamer you are using and which firmware version it is running. Are you on the latest firmware?
This post on the MinimStreamer support form is relevant:
https://forum.minimserver.com/showthread.php?tid=5241
Before posting there with your issue you might try changing your transcode setting from flac:wav to *:L16
…and in addition to setting stream.transcode to *:L16, change your .m3u file entry for JB Radio as follows:
#EXTINF:-1,[JBRadio2;*,96000] JBRadio2 FLAC
http://199.189.87.9:10999/flac
If that doesn’t work, try this simpler form:
#EXTINF:-1,[JBRadio2] JBRadio2 FLAC
http://199.189.87.9:10999/flac
I looked at your profile and see that it lists a SuperUniti as your streamer. If one of the above options works then you might just listen and be happy, but it is possible that you are not running the latest firmware on your SU. I’m running 4.6 on my NDS and UnitiQute 2, by the way.
The latest firmware for the SU is also 4.6, which can be downloaded here:
Choose Support, then Manuals and Downloads). There are updaters for Mac and PC. If you do find you are not running 4.6 and you go ahead and apply the update, you might find that the original instructions on setting this up work. On the other hand, you might decide that is a lot of work just to listen to a radio station 
LMS still going strong!
Thanks for all your help. I’m on version 4.7 with my streamer. Is that wrong? I will try your other suggestions when I’m home later.
yes indeed. It’s free, and does everything I need it to! Interact via Ipeng on my phone 99% of the time which is a nice interface: updated artist pics, random play, and RP Flac Stream saved as a Favourite. James
