External USB on QNAP - jdg072 - 25-01-2025 18:14

Dear, If I have music on an external USB. The USB is plugged into my QNAP nas, and I can see the drive, however Minimserver cannot see the music. Or I have the wrong Contentdir in my profile...? Where can i find the correct path to enter here?

Many Thanks

The contentDir path should be

/share/drivename/foldername

where drivename is the name in QNAP File Station for the external drive and foldername is the name of the top-level music folder on the external drive. For example, if File Station shows that the disk name is Seagate Expansion Drive and the top-level folder name is musicfiles, the contentDir path would be

/share/Seagate Expansion Drive/musicfiles
