Setting up Folders

[jrelt80]

I've been trying to properly setup folders for a few weeks now and I haven't been able to get it to work.

I'm currently running Ubuntu Server 10.10 with a samba share that holds my media. I've setup PMS 1.52.1 using this guide: http://irrationale.com/2010/06/30/ps3-media-server-on-ubuntu-10-04/. I have a RAID 5 (setup with mdadm) with 4 1TB drives mounted to '/storage'. I've tried many configurations to get it to try and point to the proper folder but still no success.

\/storage
\//\/storage

I'm just not sure what else I could try.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I your PMS.conf file you can manually add the "folders" you want to point PMS to like so (comma-separated if you want to add more than one):
folders = /data/sambashare/Video,/data/sambashare/MP3,/data/sambashare/Fotos
Works like a charm for me

When I go to the media server it defaults to '/'. I just have no idea why it isn't working.

I've tried quite a few options. None of them seem to work.

folders = /storage
folders = ///storage
folders = \/\/storage
folders = \/storage

FAQ: Where are the PMS config/log/database &c. files located?
FAQ: How can I supply details to help diagnose my problem?

I'm having exactly the same issue. Brand new to Ubuntu and hoping to never need windows again but this is a key program so need to get it woring.

I have 4 hard discs but PMS is only giving me access and allowing me to chose from the Ubuntu partition.

Any help would be gratefully received. In the meantime I'm going to reformat one of the other drives in ext 3 or 4 and see if PMS like that better?

Chocolateboy I lubb you too mutt!! Thanks.

For those of you who are, like me, completely Linux illiterate, look in the /media folder to find all the other drives on your system.
