iTunes "media kind" being overridden by NAS streaming
Howdy everyone! I'm working on setting up a spiffy new RN312 as a "home media" server, and am working on getting the iTunes streaming to work. I did the following: 1) Mounted NAS Share 2) Pointed iTunes "Media Folder Location" to the NAS Share through the Prefernces 3) Clicked on "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" 4) Imported all my media (from backup disk) Afterwards, I see that on the NAS Share, under the root of the Share, is the directory tree I expect with Artist/Album folder structure, also "TV Shows", "Home Videos", and "Movies". Then I did this: Set up the NAS Share by selecting the "iTunes" under "Network Access" and toggling that on Now, back to iTunes I can see the NAS iTunes share, and select it for media Here's the problem: Video files "media kind" is getting all "jacked up". When I view the files through the mounted drive as local iTunes, I have "Music Videos", "Home Videos", and "Movies". When I go back to the NAS streaming, these are all "Movies" But it gets weirder than that! HellBoy, a "Movie" as "media kind' is now a "TV Show" when seen through the NAS streaming. So it's NOT just that it's taking all "video file types" and calling them "Movies", there is something really squirely going on with the NAS Streaming which doens't alter the meta tags in the files, but presnts them as a random "media kind" via the iTunes streaming. Anyone have success configuring the NAS iTunes streaming to present the ACTUAL information from the files as they are seen in native iTunes? Does that all make sense?
