I currently work on the windows version, I will add a function to change the folders in the launcher.

Can you try to create a link to the folder and call it music and place that link where the music folder of the bot was located?

If this does not work, try to create a symbolic link of your filled music folder and place that link inside the normal music folder of the bot.
Lets see if we get indexed the content this way.

Inside the TS3MusicBotFolder/system/bin/ there is a file called "console.bat".
Execute this, this will open a command prompt.

Next CD into the Bot folder:
Code: Select all
cd /home/TS3MusicBot_1/
There we will remove the default music folder:
Code: Select all
rm -R music
And for the last step, we going to create a symbolic link to any folder you would like to set which contains your music, in this example the music folder would be located in "C:\music":
Code: Select all
ln -s /cygdrive/c/music /home/TS3MusicBot_1/music
Now the music "folder" (symbolic link) points to a directory outside to the main windows system.

You can close the console now, and start TS3MusicBot_1 normally like before.

If there are any more questions, please create a new thread.
