Specific Media Folder

Thomas Marx edited this page Jan 27, 2017 · 8 revisions

Per default, the whole user folder is searched for available MIME types and all audio files are indexed within Audio Player.

Include Selection

To specify a dedicated folder of audio files, please to the personal user settings and choose the Audio Player section. Here, a single folder can be specified for indexing.

Exclude Selection

To exclude a folder, you have to create a .noaudio file (empty file with just that name; no other ending) inside that folder. This is also necessary in subfolders, to exclude them.

Hint 1: The file can be created via the "+" button of the files application. Please take care that the default ending of .txt is removed during the creation.

Hint 2: Per default, these kind of files are hidden in the files application. They can be shown by enabling the checkbox within the settings of the files application (the gear on lower left).

External Storage

Audio Player does not search for titles on file level.
Only these files can be indexed, which are already "known" to ownCloud/Nextcloud (indexed in the _filecache table; because of the MIME type filter required).
If a new external storage is connected, either the folders need to be navigated once, or occ files:scan needs to be executed to populate all files.

Attention: WebDAV is not recommended due to performance limitations.
