I have about 100 Files on the Local Drive. But I also have about 300 GB of photos, 300 GB of Music and 2TB of videos on a connected server. Turing the Media Library service to ON gives me a never ending message about building the Media Library - I’m guessing it’s hitting my server. I certainly understand this with over 100,000 photos and 30,000 mp3s to deal with.
Is there a way to build it ONLY for the Local Storage and to default to Folder Browsing for the Network? And if not, can I suggest this as an option for those of us with too much media for the Hub to realistically deal with?
I don’t think there is a way to do it… I just got mine and haven’t had much chance to tinker with it, but I don’t remeber there being an option to specify…
No, there’s no way to limit which folders or devices get indexed; it’s all or nothing.
HOWEVER, once it’s indexed once, it shouldn’t interfere with browsing your libriary. It may just take a few minutes for new stuff to show up, or for deletes to be noticed.
As to browsing by folder by default: Yes, you can do this. When browsing, hit the GREEN button, and select Filter > by Folder. That setting is memorized.
