#7 Multiple Media Directories

[Leland Gaunt]

How can I setup more than one (1) media directories
(this is directories where media is streamed from)? Is
this possible?

Thanks a lot

By the way... great work with the latest version. Keep
up with the good work!!

Hi thanks for the feedback. As for your question. At the
moment there really isn't a way to set up more than one
directory for streaming. If you are on linux or unix, you
might be able to achieve this via symlinks, but I have not
really tested that out.

I am switching this over from a support request to a feature
request. I think this is a good idea. If you have only one
media directory defined, then I think streamline would work
the way it does now. If you define more than one, I think I
would create a "virtual root" folder that would then show
each of your media direcories when browsing.

Just an update, this feature request was accepted and is in
the works for the beta 5 release. You can follow the
progress with the tracker item in the beta 5 task. I am in
the process of implementing this feature right now and have
it almost working. I just need to work out the finer details.

A cvs version of streamline with this feature included
should be ready soon.

*Nix workaround:

Execute in shell:
cd /path/to/streamline
mkdir musicroot
cd musicroot
ln -s /mp3 mp3
ln -s /music music
ln -s /home/user/music usermusic

And choose /path/to/streamline/musicroot as your media directory
ln usage: ln -s </path/to/music> <aliasname>

After doing this, you will get all the 'aliases' in your browser's startpage
and you can open them as dirs

(I`ve not tested this, but it should work :P)
