Set log level parameter higher (10 is recommended) value and check the logs
whether there are some differences or not both in successed case and
failed case.
2011/1/3 Samba user samba.99.spamm...@spamgourmet.com:
I have an ancient device, several actually, called an Audiotron that I use
Samba for to access media files.
Now, I realize these are old and finicky devices.
For ease of management, I keep my media files separated into 4.5GB
directories (easy to burn to DVD) and then
I have a script that goes into each of those directories and creates one big
directory full of symlinks pointing into each individual directory.
I'm sure my configuration is correct (follow symlinks = yes, wide links =
yes in my services) as modern programs such as WinAmp and VLC have no
problems accessing the directory full of symlinks (about 2500 links).
However, the Audiotron has issues. If I try and play a file, sometimes it
play, sometimes it won't. If I try and play it again immediately, sometimes
it will go, sometimes I'll have to select play several times before it'll
play.
If I create individual services for each of my media directories and have
the Audiotron catalog them individually, they all work fine.
So, my question is, does the client see any difference in accessing a file
via SAMBA (3.5.6) if it's a symlink vs a real file? I wouldn't think it
would be able to, but the Audiotron certainly doesn't like them very well,
yet Winamp has no issues.
Thanks for any thoughts.
