I'm running Twonky on a Linux box which is also a MythBackend... I have a script running (Mythlink) that makes human readable links to a special directory for my myth recordings that are very cryptic in their names....
I pointed Twonkyserver 5.1.6 and 6.0 at this directory and got nothing. After looking at the logs, it appears that Twonky is seeing the links just fine but ignoring them. How can I have Twonky see the links as valid media files and populate the database as such?
If this is not possible, can it be made possible ASAP?

In the INI file, there is a setting:
# follow symbolic links while scanning (Linux only)
followlinks=1

I'd bet it might even be possible to set that via an RPC call by typing the below (obviously using your own server IP address) into your web browser; try this:
Bri
Code: Select all
