Cannot use symbolic link in uPnP AV Server?
I have folder structure as the following,
Root
|
----------------------
| |
Pictures Media
|
-----------------
| |
Movie Music
I add the "Pictures" as the symbolic link under "Media". And I set the Media as the uPnP AV Server scan folder.
But it looks I cannot find the Pictures from other uPnP AV Client software(e.g. XBMC), the files under "Movies" and "Music" can be found.
Is the uPnP AV Server cannot scan the symbolic link folders?

Re: Cannot use symbolic link in uPnP AV Server?
Im having the same issue with uPnP AV server not finding the symbolic link.
I have movies on one drive and TV shows on the other and didnt want to use root as the root of the server , but it looks like i may have to as it wont find the symbolic link 
Anyone know a way of getting the uPnP server to see symbolic links ?
i have ssh access to the nas.

mount: mounting HD_b2/Movies/_Tv_Shows on HD_a2/TV Shows/ failed: No such file or directory

Re: Cannot use symbolic link in uPnP AV Server?
OK So i made a folder called '_TV' where i wanted it (/mnt/HD_b2/Movies/_TV/) and then typed the following :
mount --bind /mnt/HD_a2/TV\ Shows/TV/ /mnt/HD_b2/Movies/_TV/
which is mount --bind {where you want to link to} {the folder you want to link}
*edit*
OK after doing a refresh on the UPNP AV server the Ps3 can now see the Bind link and all the files inside it
Thanks a million guys - I appreciate all the help
im no version 1.07 by the way
I have to run this command each time i reboot the nas as well

There are several ways to have the command executed automatically. You can edit the fun_plug and add the mount command at the end of it. Or (better way IMO) you can save the command in a .sh file and put it in the ffp/start folder.
