Playback from shortcuts - .lnk support


Recommended Posts

Posted

I think this was available in MB2, but doesn't seem to work in MB3.  I'm still waiting for the media library scan to complete, but no metadata is downloading when I place a shortcut into one of the media folders.

 

Anyway to designate .lnk as a video file??  btw it is linked to a .wtv recording that shows up from a non-sorted recorded tv folder.

Shortcuts are only supported if they point to something that actually exists in the media library already.  This is a server setup issue and has nothing to do with MBC (just FYI).

So, if it's already in the library it will be supported?

How about symbolic links? That's what I use for everything in my collection. Works great, except if they point to files on another system you have to run some command to enable that (not allowed by default).
