and last (promise) when serviio run my folder with movie is gone.. I have to put it manually again and again

do you please have a idear to what I can do

thanks a lot for your idear

I just happened to build a Mint box to play with a week ago, and one of the things I immediately did was install Serviio. To have Serviio start up automatically, click the menu, and under Preferences you will find Startup Applications. Open that, then click Add. Enter Serviio for the name, and in the command line enter the path to the serviio.sh file. It will vary depending on where you installed Serviio. On my box it's /opt/serviio-1.9.1/bin/serviio.sh. Then click Save. The next reboot it will start automatically.

Where is your media located? On a local hard drive or on a network share somewhere? Since I built my box with leftover parts, the hard drive is very small, so I'm using media on another computer. However, I cannot get a UNC path to work. It kept adding my home path in front of the UNC, which of course isn't a valid path. So instead, I mounted the remote share locations to the Mint install under the /mnt folder. I haven't had any issue using these file paths, as they appear as a local path, not something on the network.

If the path isn't being saved, I'm wondering if you have a permissions issue with your media location.

hello
sorry for having be so late in this answer
my first pb is now done Serviio run when the computer is on Thank a lot for you help!
but my second pb is no resolve.
My folder is on my hard drive (video) I try to put for the begining the most easy (for me.)
I tried to put permision for me on the folder but I'm not sure I done it corecly.

My Linux is extremely rusty, but I believe you need the permissions set to 777 to permit full access to your video folder. Most likely Serviio shouldn't need that much, but it can't hurt. I'm not at home right now, so can't check the steps to set permissions on the folder. Not sure if Mint has an easy way to do it, or if you need to do it from the command line.

764 is more secure.

'764' absolute code says the following:

Owner can read, write and execute
Usergroup can read and write
World can only read

newbie -- you talk about click on a menu to make serviio st art auto what menu?

I'm going from memory, so might not have the name accurate. But in the Admin menu options there's an app that allows you to designate programs to start on boot up. Look in that menu and you should find it.
