Installed OK but can't see my files
Hi, Installation went fine, I transferred the Multimedia folder on my new QNAP TS253A NAS from my old TS112 and installed MinimWatch that shows the path as /share/Multimedia.

Minimserver shows on Linn Kinsky, but no music is shown other than a couple of QNAP samples and the icon is green but I can't see any way to rescan, so what have I missed or need to do now?

[Update] Searching through the forum, I've seen others have had difficulties setting up, so I followed the instructions to alter the indexTags to AlbumArtist and deleted all others than Composer as I get a TagsCustom error message if it is missing. I hit Restart but nothing has appeared and the icon is green. I did find the Rescan control and it has been yellow for about 10min.

[Update 2] Scanning took another 45 min for my 3200 titles and the icon went green. However several albums do not seem to use the Artist tag and display randomly using file names, track titles or CD metadata instead, I did check the tags and they are correct. There is also Miles Davis 'Get Up With It' remasters of which are spread across 2 different 'Complete Session' boxes, 7 on one and one on the other which I had tagged to give me the updated 'Get Up With It' in the correct order. However on Minimserver (either Artist or Album views) they display as 2 albums and the one with 7 titles displays the correct track numbers in the left-pane but plays them in a completely different order, despite the original tagging being confirmed correct.

As a reference, Twonky on my old server does present all 8 tracks in one album although in the same wrong order.

I tried playing around with the indexTags and tagsCustom but nothing changed the incorrect playing of 'Get Up With It, so I think I need help here rather than further playing around in ignorance.

Many thanks...TomP
