Hi there -
I am going nuts trying to figure out what's going on. I have had zero luck getting itunes to work with my LS-XH1.0TL. Using OSX 10.5.7 and itunes 8.1.1. My linkstation firmware is 1.03.
I've set up the MediaServer to point to a share I called Media. I've rsynced the Music/iTunes from my mac to /Volumes/Media/ - no problem.
I had the linkstation show up once in itunes (I don't know why it suddenly appeared), but it did not display any music. After restarting the media server again, it's not working anymore. The drive is fine. I use it as a timecapsule and don't have any problems mounting it, seeing any of the shares or with backup. The only problem is just as a media server.
Yes, In the media server settings, it is enabled, and I am pointing to Media as the server folder. I've also tried shuffling files and pointing to other folders that have the music organized in various ways.
so there are 2 problems:
1) can't even connect anymore, itunes is not recognizing the share
2) when it did recognize the share, nothing was in it (despite some 60 odd gigs of files)
Ok - just tried something. I made a small folder called Music and pointed to Media/Music as the Media drive. Nothing. Physically restarted the NAS, the files and share showed up! Yay!
So I just renamed the "iTunes Music" folder to just "Music", replacing the test dir, restarted the NAS, and - not showing up in the iTunes shared list again.
Any ideas out there?
Does "Authorized DLNA Media Clients" have anything to do with it? If I click on the link, there aren't any, and there doens't seem to be a way to add them. In the help link, there is an item "Permit Access to DLNA Clients" but there isn't a box or any way that I can see what it's referring to. Is this an OSX bug?
thanks
