Bootstrap Framework 3.3.6

Hi, I have A LOT of music i want to add which is stored in the same drive as the bot, so I was wondering if there is a way to add all the music without having to upload them through the web GUI.
I have tried putting the music into the folder where the uploaded music goes but it just doesn't see the files.
Thanks in advance

Just create a symbolic link into the music folder:

Code: Select all

ln -s /source/folder/path /path/musicbot/music/externalMusic

This creates a symbolic virtual folder called „externalMusic“ into your bots music folder which then points to your large music list folder.

TS3MusicBot can handle symbolic links.

Thanks for the reply!!
I've tried creating a symbolic link through the debian environment and through windows (I'm using linux subsystem version). But when creating the meta data for the files I get this error:

Code: Select all

New meta data database found. Generating meta data for all available media files...

And then the music section of the webGUI doesn't work and doesn't even let me make a folder.
I'm thinking maybe it has to do with my music collection being too large? it is almost 500gb, will try a smaller size to see if it works.

The music collection could be too large.
I will test the symbolic link in the WSL version too, to check if my instructions were still correct.

Yes seems it was too large seems to work ok with smaller sizes
