Headless server, console on other machine

Hello gurus!

I am new to Serviio, but it seems like the perfect choice for me. However, I am running the server on 192.168.0.2, a server without X. On 192.168.0.50 I configured -Dserviio.remoteHost=192.168.0.2 in the console script and fired it up. It connects perfectly to the server and everything seems fine. The problem is, I want to share media content located on the server (IP.......2). The console seems to see only the local PC. How do I share media content located on the headless server running the Serviio server software?

Forgive me if it is a simple question. I did some search yesterday night, but with no luck...

Best regards

Use the add path button and type in the full path manually.

Re: Headless server, console on other machine

Thank you very much! It worked, and I can now see the media shared.

Another issue: I can play the media on my Samsung S3. However our TV (Philips 9706) is not able to play the MOV and mp4 movies. I will investigate this issue further myself. Unless you have some suggestions to a newbie...
