Shared folder address on web player changes every startup.

Post by frenksisco »

Hi, as in the title: every time I start the web player and enter my shared folder I notice that its address is different.
One time is http://myip:9002/player/browse/28
The next is http://myip:9002/player/browse/90 and so on...
This is a real pain to access the web player folder from a smartphone browser.
I saw that there is another post on the forum
viewtopic.php?t=5509
reporting the same problem but I don't see any solution. Is there really no way to force the address to remain fixed?
Thanks

As @ExSport's reply on that topic said the IDs are generated for that session so using the same one on another machine could bring up a different folder.
Ideally the intention is to start to browse from the root at http://myip:9002/player/ (I think, I'm not at home atm to check)

I'm not sure if the IDs can be made static between devices the way it is currently implemented but I don't know the details.

Okay, I will access from http://myip:9002/player/ as you suggest. It's not a big deal actually, thanks
