Change Mediaserver default directory

[Amari]

Hi,

by default the dlna Media Server uses volume1/videos (/music, and /photo) for streaming and indexing. In the control panel > media indexing service you can ad additional folders to be indexed. But you are not allowed to delete the default folders. I already tried that, but did not work properly.

 

Soo, my problem: I do not want these shared folders showed in my network place, so I choose to hide them in the shared folders settings. Instead I created a new shared folder /volume1/media with my folders in it I want to be indexed.

 

I used a script to mount my media folder in the default media server folders. So now, I do not see the default folders in network environment anymore but still able to feed that media server.

 

#!/bin/sh
# S99mount.sh
# mount/bind some folders on startup
# and umount them on shutdown/reboot

case $1 in
start)
/bin/mount -o bind /volume1/music/ /volume1/media/music/
/bin/mount -o bind /volume1/photo/ /volume1/media/photo/
/bin/mount -o bind /volume1/video/ /volume1/media/video/
;;
stop)
/bin/umount /volume1/media/music/
/bin/umount /volume1/media/photo/
/bin/umount /volume1/media/video/
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 [start|stop]"
;;
esac

 

So far thinks are working finde. It's just...when i copy new files to my media folders it doesn index automaticly. I have to login in into webman and start re-index service. What am I doing wrong. Just want my own folder structure to be available over dlna.

 

Hope you guys can follow me so far. My english is not that good.

Have you tried adding the folders to the Media Indexing Service?

 

DSM Control Panel > Application Settings > Media Indexing Service > Indexed Folders (Tab).
