weird bug with music location - phier - 22-02-2019 11:26

Hi,
i am really wondering why there is no chance to add 2 paths as contentDir with the same name of the last dir ie

/mnt/storage/music/_LOSSY
/mnt/storage2/music/_LOSSY


Is that bug or desired future?

Thank u

It is an intentional design choice. MinimServer uses the name of the last directory in the path as a persistent unique identifier for the content directory's cache file. You could work around this restriction by creating a symbolic link with a different last name and using the symbolic link as the content directory.
