Problems getting library to update with extra drives
Posted: Sat Oct 11, 2014 2:09 amI'm not certain what I am doing wrong, but I don't seem to be getting the library to update at all.
One thing is for certain, I am not getting any additions from any of my USB external drives, but in a previous version of Serviio there was no issue. It picked up the external drives and cataloged the files on them with no problem at all. It seems to be adding from the C: drive without a problem, with the exception of some files that appear to not be transcoding. This is especially true with "avi" and "mkv" files, but "mp4" files seem to add without a problem.
I have a Sony Bravia, 2011 model KDL 46EX720 and PS3 (which will play "avi" and "mkv" files) and quite a large collection of media.
My main concern at this point is why there is nothing other than the C:\ showing files. I have added paths, and local id's but I am not certain if I have done this correctly. What is the correct way to add something like E:\Movies? Is it a path or local, and could the problem be connected to not having the right ffmpeg version? I just updated the software and it seems to have "lost" every other drive but C:!
Lastly, would it be more feasible to convert everything to mp4, as the server doesn't seem to do transcoding for mp4's?
