I updated my firmware and I now get a message that I can add a folder to the media library. I figure this may be what I’ve been hoping for which is to have a direct link to my video folder network share as opposed to seeing all the shares on my server
The problem is I keep getting this error…
“Unable to create Media Library. The selected source is configured as Read-Only which prevents the WD TV from saving the media library”
The username used for the shares shoudl have write access. Not sure why I would get this error. Or do I have to have a local drive to enable this feature?
The benefit of selecting this option is that it shows all the aggregated content on your network attached and USB storage together in one view. However, it does take longer to scan all the storage content compared to selecting a more specific option for content retrieval.
To add additional source content to My Media Library, please do one of the following:
Attach USB storage to one of the USB ports on the media center and it is automatically added to media library.
Connect to a Windows or Linux Share (see “Network Share” on page 29). While browsing the content inside, press Option to add a share folder to the Media Library.
Use the Media Library Manager for Network Share (see “Media Library Manager for Network Share” on page 194), and select Add network share to media library to manually add individual share folders to the media library. A maximum of 10 shares can be added."
The Media Library needs to write and update files into the network share, so you need to give it write permission to the folder. The nice thing is, if the Media Library is turned on you can add folders from different locations and the contents will be compiled into one listing.
