MMS file paths are seen in MMW5 then replaced with api stream address

[petermgates]

My use case involves creating Collection nodes in MMW5 based on collections in MMS.

For years I have used collections based on file paths, created using the criteria 'path contains'.

Code: Select all

Music\
├─ category1\  ==>  Collection "Category 1": path contains "Music\category1\"
├─ category2\  ==>  Collection "Category 2": path contains "Music\category2\"
│  ├─ artist1\
│  │  ├─ album1\
│  │  │  ├─ track1

Now I am experimenting with MMS but have issues creating the collections.

I set up the collections in MMS according to the same scheme and when added to MMW5 the file path is shown in the expected column.

However, when I created a collection node with the path criteria, it is empty.

Also, I note that when I play a file, the path is updated with a stream address from the MMS api.



Therefore I suppose that the path is not really available to use and this is why my collection nodes are empty.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can solve this?
