Summary | 0019131: Add a warning preventing users to scan NAS location as DLNA server | ||||
Description | As originally raised at 0013971:0052435 and discussed offline: There is a confusion re media server (DLNA/UPnP) listed under Folders node. Especially for NAS devices user often ends by scanning NAS DLNA server into library instead of the NAS content as UNC path (e.g. [Ticket # 4297] ) having limitation of metadata used + read-only files on the DLNA server. Suggested solution is to make it harder to (accidently) scan a DLNA Server in the first place, or warn the user (message) that they're about to scan a DLNA Server and explain limitations of this. | ||||

How about: Scanning UPnP media server content into the library isn't recommended since the content will be read-only. Add the content via a 'Network' location instead. Are you sure you want to proceed? [Yes] [[No]] |

Thinking about the situation how user could get the NAS tracks accidentally to library as DLNA tracks: 1) Pressing 'Insert' on Folders > NAS > ... does not add the DLNA folder to the Add/Rescan dialog => this wasn't the case 2) Selecting in Add/Resca dialog > [Add Location ....] > Media server .... => this is clear that user adds the tracks from Media Server-- so this also isn't the case 3) Going to Folders > NAS > Music > .... and right click a DLNA file > (+) Add to library choice in the context menu => I guess this is the way how the user can add accidentally the tracks to the library So maybe we could just hide the '(+) Add to library' context menu for DLNA tracks to eliminate the confusion without introducing a warning ? Alternativelly modify the wordning of suggested warning to something like: Media Server content in the library is read-only. You might want to add the content via a 'Network' location instead. Are you sure you want to proceed? [Yes] [[No]] |

I don't think that many users add it accidentally--it's that many don't understand the ramifications of adding a UPnP server and/or the difference between a windows share and a UPnP share. So your suggestion of removing the 'add to library' for Media Server files would probably help. As to the suggested text, just a minor tweak: Media Server content is read-only. You might want to add the content via a 'Network' location instead. Are you sure you want to proceed? [Yes] [[No]] Note: none of the above comments should apply to MMS servers |

Fixed in 2800. i.e. 1) Removed '+Add to library' for Media Server files 2) Added the suggested warning after selecting Media server... from [Add Loccations] in Add/Rescan dialog |
