Limitation on contentDir? - magister - 06-12-2014 05:28

I have eight entries in the contentDir field (each of which is a folder on my Synology NAS). I just tried to add another one, but the "+" button to the right of each contentDir listing is grayed out (the "-" one appears to be live). Is there a maximum of eight? Everything appears to be in order on the NAS -- I was able to log in, create the new directory, move files around, etc.

Thanks - David

There is a maximum of eight entries and it isn't possible to increase this limit. I have updated the User guide to clarify this.

Thank you Simon. I can move two or three of the smallest folders into an "other" folder as subfolders to get around this limit. Which raises a question: I use folder view fairly often when selecting music. Can folder view handle subdirectories? I imagine it can, but would like to confirm before moving things around.

Yes, folder view can handle any reasonable depth of subfolders underneath the folders in contentDir.

Problem solved! Thanks again for the quick reply.
