Create a New Media Library - App

Feature Overview​

The “Media Library” is the core module of the Media Center app, used to categorize and manage audio and video resources on the NAS. The system supports creating, editing, and deleting media libraries, and automatically recognizes metadata for video and audio files (such as posters, descriptions, and cast information). Through intelligent categorization, users can efficiently organize and search for movies by type, year, and other criteria.

Note: Before use, please ensure that media files are stored on the NAS and that you have created a media folder using the “File Manager” app, with full read permissions granted to that folder.
