Media browser and TV not showing all shared folders

Post by PlayerUK » Fri Oct 12, 2012 5:48 pm

I'm running Twonky 5.1.2 on an Ubuntu 10.4 box. I've selected 4 folders to share and the only one that is showing in the media browser (and on the TV) is the last one.

I've watched the server status add the other 3 folders and the videos but they still won't display.

I've also tried deleting all of the content from Twonky and selecting the folders again. This time I selected them in a different order, ie a different one as the fourth folder, and Twonky will still only show the fourth folder and its contents.

Any suggestions please.

Try putting the folders underneath one parent folder
and then use /somepath/parentfolder
as the starting point under twonky shares config

For example
/somepath/parentfolder/child1
/somepath/parentfolder/child2
/somepath/parentfolder/child3

Thanks for replying.

I could'nt put them under one parent folder as each folder is on a separate drive. I did try setting the mount folder (/media) but that gave the same result. It had been working fine for over a year but all of a sudden it decided not to play nicely anymore. I reinstalled it and still the same result.

I upgraded and the problem went away.
