I'm attempting to get miniDLNA running correctly on 8.2.0 p1 and have a question.
From here: http://doc.freenas.org/index.php/Plugins#MiniDLNA it says that the 'Media Directory' is the location where I store media files.
How does this related to mount points?
The way I see it I have three options
- The directory I select when configuring miniDLNA should be my 'Videos' dataset straight off my ZFS volume.
or
- It should be the mount point I create under the jail (that translates to the 'Videos' dataset straight off my ZFS volume.)
or
- It should be some other variant path from the jail / plugins dataset that I'm not exactly familiar with. (zfs_Volume/jail/media I've noticed exists...)
Can someone provide clarification?
Also, for a bonus question, since miniDLNA serves up music and videos (as I understand it, anyway - haven't seen it for my own eyes yet) but there's only one 'Media directory' option when configuring miniDLNA, should I have a parent 'Media' folder on my ZFS dataset that contains 'Music' and 'Videos' beneath it? Is that the typical format for laying this out?
Excuse my noobness, but hopefully I'm making sense....
thanks
