I have a linux server and I also have a windows 7 media center pc that access all the music and videos from the server, I have installed skifta on my MC machine and followed the setup @ first all worked well with 1 or 2 songs showing in the library but when I asked it to scan all my music in over night, the next mornning my Samsung Glaxy S2 (rooted with ICS on it) could no longer see any media it connected ok but like I said no media there allow it is showing as connected on the web site. I have UPNP tickt on my virgin router but have not port's setup do i need to add any.

Many thanks

Hello Ian

Couple of points here: We're finding that subscribers who have a 'huge' amount of content on their media servers are having issues with displaying content in the client. This can be due to the media server taking too long to send the entire list of content, or because they blow the memory allocated on the device. I'll work with the team to diagnose the max limit of content and the max time it takes to receive the content list.

Secondly, you can run xbmc or the skifta app, or a variety of other media servers on your ubuntu box. It won't necessarily make the job 'easier' because if it's the quantity of content, you may still see the issue... I'd probably try xbmc with Ubuntu or windows as it splits out the content into smaller chunks so may make your content more manageable.
