How to address Virtual Folders with SMB network share???

Post by thrakazog »

UMS used to use the VirtualFolders.conf file to detail folders to add collectively to a media folder. I believe this was migrated to SHARED.conf, but it no longer honors the SMB shares. There is no way to address a share through the UI either. Additionally, you cannot map a network drive and have it appear in the list of drives to select media folders.

Is this by design, that UMS will only share media that is available locally? or has this functionality just be lost through the versions?

Thanks

It should still work and allow you to add any connected drives from within the shared content option in the web settings.

This still has the virtual folders option, its just has this with the normal folders and web content all in one place.
