Package: mediatomb
Version: 0.12.1-4
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch
Mediatomb does not recognize symbolics links to media files.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
1. Add directory to Mediatomb's index through web interface.
2. Select inotify-based autoscanning.
3. Add appropriate media file to said directory.
( cp supportedMedia.avi /indexedMediaDirectory/ )
4. Create a symlink to said media file within said directory.
( cd /indexedMediaDirectory ; ln -s supportedMedia.avi
linkedMedia.avi )
5. Browse directory, play content on client device.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Regular file is indexed and streamable, symlink is not.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Symlink should be indexed and streamable.
Suggested patch attached.
