Multiple Content Directories on Synology
I'm sure I'll feel silly when someone points out the answer, but I've searched the manual and the forums and can't work out how to do this.

I just sold my Drobo and bought a Synology, in large part so that I could use MinimServer. When I ran MinimServer on my MacMini, I could add additional Content Directories, but now on the Synology I can't figure out how to do it.

I have attached a screenshot of the MinimServer Status page, and there's one field to enter a content directory. If I try to add a second, it replaces the first.

Would someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks and happy new year

The MinimServer web interface is very basic and just intended for a quick first-time setup.

To configure the various settings for the MinimServer instance running on your Synology (including multiple content directories) you have to install and run MinimWatch on any other computer in your LAN.

/facepalm

Thanks winxi. I had prematurely written off MinimWatch as a UPnP client, which I don't need. RTFM.

Anyway, thanks for setting me straight and releasing the rest of my library!
