Follow Symlinks?

I have a dir a update daily with symlinks to 20 randomly selected albums.

But Serviio doesn't show those albums inside. Can this feature be added please?

Fedora release 15 (Lovelock)

Does it matter any that the symlink is to a file potentially scanned elsewhere?

eg.

/mnt/DailyRotation/AlbumA --> /mnt/FLAC/ArtistX/AlbumA

Where /mnt/FLAC and /mnt/DailyRotation are both music source directories configured using Servio PHP Console 0.6

So, basically I'm asking Serviio to list AlbumA/*.flac as under /mnt/FLAC/ArtistX/AlbumA (dnla:Music/FLAC/ArtistX/AlbumA) and /mnt/DailyRotation/AlbumA (dnla:Music/DailyRotation/AlbumX)

Re: Follow Symlinks?

you should see the file twice. did you enable detailed log to see if the files are scanned?

Re: Follow Symlinks?

I had to edit config/log4j.xml to capture this ... log rotation went by too quickly. :)

<param name="MaxFileSize" value="50MB" />
<param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="100" />

Found my issue. I had a type in the path of my source directory ... missing a space. Duh!

Any chance a outputting a WARN level message when a source dir is:
a) unlistable (read/execute)
b) does not exist (due to braindead user error!)

Thanks.

Re: Follow Symlinks?

Yes, great idea. That has caught me out before a few times when I forget that on my NAS the folder names are case-sensitive.
