separate hard disk with libraries not showing on md

having trouble with my libraries and diskless md..  all my libraries are on a separate harddrive.  linuxmce did not detect them automatically so i had to link them to the /home/public/data/videos directory.  this works great on the core/md but when i set up the diskless mds the links arent functional.  ive tried linking the folders to a samba share of the libraries which gave me a link, but the link opened a new window through konqueror and couldnt load through mce.  is there a way to manually add directories to the mce library?  or a better way to link the folders to work..  ive checked all the permissions many times...  thanks

Hi,

quite some time ago I had same problem. It seems that file share service (whatever it is) doesn't support sub directories by default. I solved that by adding separate share for subdirectory. Dirty, but worked at that time...

Thanks in advance,

got it...  if you mount the drive directly to /home/public/data itll work

*hmm*

you should _NOT_ circumvent the mounting services inside LinuxMCE.

Make Hard Drive entries (1790) if you have to, if it can't find the disk. advanced->Configuration->Devices

and fill out the block device, filesystem, and PK_Users entries for the disk at minimum.
