New Media Source Won't Scan

[Efficient_Good_5784]

Can you backup your current data, then make a new blank server to see if the new server accepts new media?

I will see what happens with that this coming weekend.

I tried a number of things, fully removing my current install (with backup), installing up to the latest JF, nothing seemed to work. Not adding more media locations but actually getting JF running again. Remove, delete, empty, reboot, install, copy, start, nothing, rinse, repeat.

Got back to a working 10.9.3 that has all my current sources and contains all my current library. That is where I am going to sit for awhile. Need to take a break from all this for a bit, come back with refreshed enthusiasm at a later time. Hoping to begin my main server build in the near future anyways.


Still can't get the JF Media player to see the library for some reason. Asked in another thread about that but got no response.

Also, and this is a note for my future self, I was able to edit the options.xml file in the JF Data root folder for a library to add anohter (network share) source while the server was stopped, then started the server, scanned that pibrary and all the new source media was easily added. Again 10.9.3
