PMS doesn't show mounted USB drive

[psi]

Greetings,

I am new to Linux. Today I have successfully installed PMS on Ubuntu 10.
I use USB drive to store my media files. I can browse files by Nautilus and confirm that it is mounted.
My problem that PMS does not see any mounted drives other than /.
When I press green "Add Files" button in the Navigation/Share Tab, it open traditional "Add folder" dialog box pressing navigation button I can select only / and it's sub-folders; there is no access to other drives. I have no problems adding folders on USB drives in my Windows version of the PMS that I use for many years.
I checked permission of the USB drive and I have read-write access level.

Any ideas how to overcome this issue?

Regards,
psi

Hello,
Thanks for clarification about Linux file system.
I was able to point on /media sub folder that prompted showing content of USB drive.
It seems, in the dialog window there is no possibility to pick specific USB drive (not all mounted USBs) or it's sub folder.

Is there any way to pick specific drive/sub folder?

Keep double-clicking on the /media folder in the file browser until the drive(s) wake up. Or you can add the folders you want to share manually to PMS.conf. Open it in a text editor (e.g. Applications -> Accessories -> Text Editor) and change or add the list of shared folders e.g.:

Code: Select all

folders = /media/USBDrive1,/media/USBDrive2/images

Hi,
I still can't wake up drives with double clicking and select parts of them, but this is minor inconvenience
Keep on doing a good work.
