Hi All,
I am new to LinuxMCE however have been a programmer for a number of years.
I am having a bit of trouble with LinuxMCE picking up audio files that I copy into a directory on the KDE4 OS. ???
Am I putting the files into the wrong directory? or do they have to be a particular type of extension?
I would appreciate any help as I am really keen on using LinuxMCE as I love the UI and have a real interest in home automation.
Thanks in Advance...
Hi dcubox1,
Assuming this is the core or hybrid box - audio should be in:
/home/public/data/audio/
For the most part all your data will go in some place after: /home/public/data/ (unless it is private)...
Where did you put it?
Hi wombiroller,
Thanks for your reply.
I was initially unsure of the directory that the files should go in so what I did was put a cd in the hybrid box and ripped
a few tracks. I then checked the directory these files went to so I tried to copy a music file into this directory.
I rebooted the router but when I search my audio it did not find this new file!!
Does the file have to be a particular extension (.ogg, .mp3) or should it find all types?
LMCE will support pretty much everything. Both .ogg and .mp3.
What version of LMCE are you running? I seem to recall there might have been a bug in 0710 with the ripping from disk. Can you try adding some files manually to the aforementioned to test?
Also take a look at the admin page (check if any files are under audio but not tagged):
http://192.168.80.1/lmce-admin/index.php?section=mediaFilesSyncFrameset
SOLVED....
Thanks for the help, I was putting the files in /home/username/public/data/audio instead of the home directory under the root!
Cheers for the help
