Can I have other shared folder than /Media/Music to store non music files?
#1
Hi Agent Kith,
 
First of all, I want to recognize your work. I am a long time Vortexbox user, but now that I need to change the HDD, I decided to change also the OS as the Vortexbox (Fedora based, with LMS) is getting outdated.
Hence, I started to try a few OS dedicated to music, and, truly, your Snakeoil OS sounds better to me than Daphile and Vortexbox, with a bit more detail and presence, and better definition on bass and treble, so, good job, AK, good job! I will donate some money to help your development.
 
But one very usuful think Vortexbox has is to serve as a NAS, not only for music files, but for any type of files. I use Vortexbox as a backup to store personal files, pictures, etc. in my local network (by Samba share, I think). Also to serve movies to the typical Android TV box, etc. I mean, it is used not only for music playing.
 
As per the read in the Snakeoil wiki, I understand all user folders and files in Snakeoil are stored under /Media/Music, and LMS indexes and builds its DB from there.
I see that the user can create more mount points, but I believe all will be hung under Media/Music. Could it be posible to create other mount points or directories than Media/Music, visible across the local network? For example, /Home, or /Media/Movies, /Media/xxxxxxx, ... In that way, the user would have the option to use the server to store other things than music (but LMS would keep looking only at /Media/Music to build its DB)
Is there any way to do this?

Many thanks and keep this good work!
