Adding more than 8 folders.

These limits enable a more effcient memory representation for the in-memory structures, which is important when running on low-end devices with limited amounts of memory available. The limits are compiled into the MinimServer code and can't be increased at runtime.

Have you seen a MinimServer message about the 65000 limit being exceeded? I am asking this because MinimServer doesn't count any folders that don't contain music files, so you might be OK even if there are more than 65000 subfolders on disk.

I just checked and after discounting funny formats and various artist compilations I still exceed the 65K limit of music-containing folders. I think I'll still try running two instances so that I've still got the option of searching any track from my phone, and it will be interesting to see how MinimServer holds up on my set up pushed close to its limit.

The eight-folder limit wouldn't affect me as I use six hard drives, but out of curiosity, can it effectively be got around by mounting drives and NFS mounts in the same top-level directory?

Either way, I'd be keen to hear if you do consider increasing the limit.
