[SOLVED] Remote Path Question

Hi All,

Currently using a linux NAS (ClearOS based) which runs the serviio service. The console doesnot work as there's probably no correct graphical interface (X11) but as I managed to start the console from my winXP machine, this is no show stopper yet.

When trying to add folder on the NAS which contain media content I enter a path like \\ClearOS\flex\media
When I press OK i see in the shared folders overview (console) /usr/local/bin/serviio-0.5.2/bin/\\ClearOS\flex\media

Is this normal behaviour?

Re: Remote Path Question

you should enter the path that is 'local' on the NAS, e.g. /mnt/media/video (not a network/UNC path)

Apparently you should take into account the install path of serviio on the NAS. My install path is /usr/local/bin/serviio-0.5.2/bin and my media is in /var/flexshare/shares/flex.

So i have to navigate back to the root first! The path in the console that is working is now /usr/local/bin/serviio-0.5.2/bin/../../../../../var/flexshare/shares/flex which is working :P

Thanks!

Perhaps it should..but when I do that, the result becomes /use/local/bin/serviio-0.5.2/bin/var/flexshare/shares/flex which shows me no media files, when browsing on my tv. :?:
