Mount SMB share subfolder

[svtcontour]

Hi all, so it seems like in the app, there is no way to mount a subfolder on a share directly. It will only mount the share.

So if you want to mount for example: //server/share/music , it will only mount it as //server/share. As a result you can see all the other subfolders and you'll have to manually go into the music subfolder every time. Anyone know if its possible to get the subfolder to be mounted as well? I can do that fine in BubbleUPNP so it would be nice if it was possible in the WiiM app.

I think you’d need a separate share for the subfolder

I was thinking probably that. I mean I can do it but if there is a suggestions area i'll put that as a suggestion for the app to handle. It doesnt seem like its any extra work. Just mount the share and traverse to the folder in question

The more/feedback section in the app is the best place to submit a feature request.

That is the way mounts work.
You create the share and sprecify its path then mount the share.

However (tip) if you have some Linux skills then create a symlink
/newshare -> /pathto/share/music
Create newsharename and point it at newshare
Then mount "newsharename"

You won't then have to move any files at all.
