correct writing for external usb disk
Hello there,
I am a new user of MinimServer, and while I work pretty well with my Qnap Nas configuration, I am finding some problems with an external Usb disk linked with my computer working on W10.
max1(disk)-->Playlistmax1 (folder)
Volume(disk)-->Playlistmax2 (folder)
Could you gently give me some support on this particular matter or in wich part of installation guide to find for?

What do you have currently for your contentDir setting for MinimServer on Windows 10? What folders do you want MinimServer to scan?

RE: correct writing for external usb disk
I am not sure how far you have got already with installing MinimServer on Windows. The best place to start is this section.

Follow all the steps carefully as shown. When you get to step 8, you are prompted to select the initial content directory. This is the top-level folder that contains your music files. The value you choose for this (or have already chosen) is your contentDir setting.

You can check your contentDir setting by right-clicking the minim icon (musical note) in your Windows system tray and selecting Properties. The Properties window contains a field labelled 'contentDir'.
