Version 2.8 now has the web page animated Gif images updated to mp4 files for the web page background images.

huge improvement in web page loading and speed of changing backgrounds. even on the Pi zero 2 W.

Completely rewritten configure_server_sync.sh script that allows the user to set up multiple synchronisation scripts and set a time (uses systemd) to synchronise different media shares from multiple servers that syncs media to /var/lib/minidlna/ Video or Music folders

Also added a rotating_server_sync.sh script that will synchronise media from a server share but just pull down all media files in the last month (by default) but can be set to any months via the script.

Great if you just want the most recent media synchronised to your mini-pi server to take elsewhere.

Ideally, youd either setup the mini pi server with either Configure_server_sync.sh or Rotating_server_sync.sh but NOT both. they way you can set up the mini-pi server is up to you.

all of these scripts are contained in the pi-setup folder.

just run sudo on these scripts :-

Configure_server_sync.sh

Mini-pi-setup.sh

Reconfigure-wifi.sh

Rotating_server_sync.sh

you dont need to run all scripts, the main script (mini-pi-setup.sh) will set up everything for this mini pi server. the other scripts are additional to your own needs if you want or need to synchronise from a server.

enjoy.
