here is a new test release with the playlist changes and the -R flag added.

Looks to be pretty good so far. No issues noticed yet.

AFAIK, samba itself only reads its config from /etc/samba/smb.conf, correct? This is as opposed to apache and php, etc. which read additional configuration files from /etc/httpd/conf.d and /etc/php.d respectively. So without modifying samba somehow getting something similar to work would prove a bit...

they are forgotten because that file is not mean to be manually edited. it's automatically generated. Odd.. it works for me. I guess I was a bit lazy and couldn't be bothered figuring out how to do it via the web interface so I changed smb.conf manually (removed the sharing of home files, adding of...

you can try amahi-dlna -d -f /var/hda/apps/dlna/amahi.conf Actually, as per this thread http://forums.amahi.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=963&start=20#wrapheader , I believe you have to throw in a -R as well. E.g. #> /etc/init.d/amahi-dlna stop #> /usr/bin/amahi-dlna -d -R -f /var/hda/apps/dlna/a...

i tried to edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf manually, but after every restart it "forgets" the settings. Not wanting to assume anything, you're editing the smb.conf file as root? I've made the mistake before where i edit a file like that as a non-root user (forget to sudo) and assume it has s...

It's not the best program in the world, but if you're after a command-line one you can try fdupes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fdupes

I had a similar situation (combining a couple/few different hard drives) and it did a good job of picking up al the duplicates.

That's true. It would maybe be handy to have a '-U' (for update) option or something that rather than re-reading the .conf file and reading all folders, would look through the .conf file and look for any new or removed folders and only update those?

Added "-R" (forces a full rescan") then it found everything under my specified directories.

That "-R" might've done it. I'm guessing that might be necessary if you make modifications to the amahi-dlna.conf file?

i wonder if this is related to the client ...

I wouldn't have thought so. My PS3 has previously worked fine with Windows 7's Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service and PS3 Media Server.

Does anyone know how well it handles subfolders? I've previously added a folder to amahi-dlna.conf that has a few layers of subfolders, e.g.: media_dir=V,/var/hda/files/x with subfolders /var/hda/files/x/y/z, /var/hda/files/x/w . Somehow it doesn't seem to pick up the files in the children folders e...
