Tip for those interested in the Media Library feature for Network Shares:
To add / manage the Network Shares defined for the Media Library, go into
Setup > System > Media Library > Media Library Manager for Network Share
Here you can
add/remove Network Shares for the Media Library
change the scan options (system standby is the default), or
See the status of each share in context of the Media Library
Also, note, only one media folder can be defined per Network Share device, but i see no limitation to add as devices as you want). This is a problem for me as i have a Videos folder, Music folder, and Photos folder in the root of my My Book Live, and i can only add one of those. I’ll have to move them back to the default Public folder if i want all three in the Media Library.
I was able to add 2 shared folders from each NAS and all 4 folders content shows up in my library. The one problem I do see though is as you said, it only shows 1 folder for each NAS under the Media Library Manager. I am guessing that only those 2 folders will update as new media is added? Time will tell…
So far my tests show that whatever folder is defined in the Media Manager is the one that gets scanned automatically. Once they are scanned, the media shows in the Library, however.
As Tony pointed out, a potential workaround is to add the entire server, but then all folders are added and there might be public folders with media that you don’t want included.
Tony, once again, you da man! Worked like a charm.
Not to diminish Tony here but it’s been said lots of times that whenever you do an update, you should reset the player to factory settings. That way all old settings are deleted and weird effects like yours can’t occur.
Pulling my hair out again and at my age I cant afford to lose anymore.Ive upgraded to 1.04.12 but cant seem to get the SMP to see my Goflex Home Nas.It can see it and play films when I go to the video section and it recognises it as a upnp media server when I press the red button.When I try and add the Nas to the media library option it does not pick it up at all so I cant use the scraping option or the get info option when I select add media library to network shares.

Techflaws, true, but I have never once had to do this on any WDTV I have ever owned after a firmware upgrade. Wasn’t really looking forward to manually putting my login infos for all the apps back in through the remote either. Anyways, your reply if duly noted.
Has anyone actually managed to get all of the media on their NAS added to their Media Library and scraped yet?

Yep works like a charm once I did what Tony said. I have a nice media library imported from 4 folders on 2 Nas devices. The only downside is that I THINK that you can have only one folder per Nas setup to autoscrape new content. There was only one movie I couldn’t get it to scrape, “A Miser Brothers Christmas” but that title isn’t on tmdb so I can understand why.
My WD is still scrapping my NAS , but a quick test confirms, that at least the movies where detect and scrapped by the Media Libary function. Open the folder of the video and press the “Options”-button there will be shown all necessary information like content, rating, . Nice: this feature is even available, when the movie is starting; pressing then the “Options”-button (again) and choose “Information” it works ,too.
It seems to work on / with all of my shares on my Synology NAS! (Shares:Movies, Pictures, Music). But, as I wrote; the WD ist still scrapping ( ~ 4TB Data :smileyvery-happy:)
The data is stored on the NAS in each movies folder. The backdrops folder is hidden by default, ex “\MYBOOKLIVE\Movies\Horrible Bosses.Horrible Bosses.backdrop” there is also a “\MYBOOKLIVE\Movies.wd_tv” folder that is hidden. The .xml and .metathumb should be visible in the movies folder.
