Contentdir in Linux for NAS? - tboooe - 26-05-2016 03:31
Hello, I am a bit of a noob to Linux but I am trying to get Minimserver working on Lubuntu. Though I got everything working I have a question on what to enter for contentdir when I want it to point to a folder on my NAS. No matter what I tired I could not get it to work. In the end I had to first permanently map my NAS music folder to a folder on my pc. Then in Minimserver I could point the library to this local folder. What I would prefer to so is just enter the absolute network path i.e. \\nas\music
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

The path \\nas\music is a Windows path, not a Linux path. Is your PC running Windows or Linux? How did you map the folder and what value are you using for contentDiir at present?
