Hello everyone,
I recently made the switch from Ubuntu to FreeNAS on my media server at home. I am running FreeNAS 8.3 and have installed the plug-ins from the Source Forge page, Transmission, FireFly and MiniDLNA. My server is up and running and all my folder permissions etc. are working without issue. However, I have a small problem with my media sharing plug-ins Firely and MiniDLNA. Basically, they are not showing the correct directory contents when I browse the shares in iTunes/Windows Explorer/Mac OS.
I have set up Mount Points for Music and Video folders. The Mount Points within the Jail show the correct directory contents. i.e. these Mount Point directories accurately reflect all the sub-directories for my music and videos. The plug-ins have been configured to point at these Mount Points within the jail but they don't show the correct contents. Somehow, when I access the FireFly share with iTunes I am shown only my Audio Books and not the contents of the folder, i.e. my full iTunes music folder containing sub-folders for each Artist. When I browse to the UPnP share on my Xbox it shows only 29 directories instead of around 90. It is not the first 29 directories in alphabetical order but a seemingly random choice of 29 folders. When I browse to a subfolder with over 150 items in it all of these show correctly.
I have tried rebooting the system, enabling/disabling individual plugins or all plugins, deleted/re-installed the plugins. I have also tried to set up the script to scan my DLNA folder as described here:
http://forums.freenas.org/showthread.php?9312-MiniDLNA-Automatic-Scan-Fix
Please can you guys suggest anything I can try to force a re-scan/re-build of the libraries for these plugins. I am a novice when it comes to Command Line instructions but can give something a try.
Thanks everyone,
John
