Title: Duplicate copies of Synology NAS files
Post by: keithsonic on December 07, 2015, 03:40:46 am
Hi
This is a long-standing problem.
I have MC setup with a Synology NAS that it recognises as \\DISKSTATION.
However, it also finds a second address http://192.etc for the NAS.
This means that Gizmo plays each track twice.
Screenshot attached if anyone knows how to cure this.
I have already turned off auto import options.

Take a look at your auto import settings.  You can set them to look at one location and not the other.

So both sets of files are imported?  Once under each location?  The simple answer is to delete the ones you don't want to see.  Probably under the 192 path name.  Just click on the Location in the pane for the ones you don't want to see.  Then, in the file list below, highlight them all.  Then delete them.  Be SURE to tell MC to only delete the database entries and NOT the files on disk.  That's the default, but it's worth mentioning it.

Try this with one file or one album first. Then do more (or all) if it works.  Make a database backup first!!  File > Library > Back up library.

Good luck.

Brian.

MC loads the \\DISKSTATION tracks as regular files via the Windows file system from the File Server on your NAS.
And it loads the http://192 tracks as media URLs via the UPnP / DLNA mechanisms from the Digital Media Server on your NAS.

The solution is (just) one of the four following actions (any one of them will work):
