Hi all,
I recently bought a ReadyNas DUO with the aim of streaming media to my PS3 (this problem will be posted in teh PS3 sections) I have a gone throught the tutorial videos and now have a fair idea of how to use the server on my NAS. However I want to use my own folders for the media not the default Twonky ones.
On my NAS box I have a folder called Media ( no permissions set on this) within this there are 3 sub folders, Photos, Music and Movies. I want to be able to use my Movies folder as the default location. In the Sharing tab I added the following: //readynas/Media/Movies manualy as browsing only shows "/" However when I rescan it finds no media (there are 3 short films in there)
Can anyone advise?
Specify new Media folders

Re: Specify new Media folders
Maybe you should check where "contentbase" points at? Unfortunately in the current versions it's no longer visible/adjustable from the interface. Either have a look at your ini-file or try
http://twonky-ip:9000/rpc/get_option?contentbase
obviously you have to adjust your ip (and possibly the port). To change the setting try
http://twonky-ip:9000/rpc/get_option?co ... =your-path
Hope it helps, Georg

Re: Specify new Media folders
Thanks for the info I will look in to that.
Re: Specify new Media folders
I tried as you suggested, I put the following in:
http://192.168.1.14:9000/rpc/get_option ... YNAS/Media
The responce I got was: PROPERTY NOT FOUND!
Any suggestions, also where is the ini file located when the Twonky server is installed direct on my NAS drive?

Re: Specify new Media folders
That might just mean that no value is set for that property i.e. it is using a default value.
Try setting it to what you want it to be anyway with http://twonky-ip:9000/rpc/set_option?co ... =your-path and then read it back out again with get_option.
You shouldn't need to prefix the path to your folders with //readynas as that is only to refer to your ReadyNAS from elsewhere on the network. For example, my Linkstation is at //wilma on the network, my contentbase is set to /mnt/disk1 and my music folder is just Music as it sits at /mnt/disk1/Music on the LS.
