PS2ISO.INI reading only the first line
Guy, sorry if there is another question about this but I tried to search and did not found my issue. I have a PS2 with OPLServer and a PS3 with ps3netsrv. The OPLServer is working with two folders: CD and DVD. When I tried to configure the same folders to work with ps3netsrv, the program is only scanning the first folder of the file. I`ve already tried to use CRLF and just LF with no luck, tried to use the sub-folder scan as well and it did not trigger the second line of the INI config to be read.
My PS2ISO.INI:
P:\PS2\CD
P:\PS2\DVD
My ps3netsrv log after 2 read attempts:
ps3netsrv build 20250501 (mod by aldostools)

open dir P:/PS3/PS3ISO
open dir P:/PS2/CD
open dir P:/PS3/PS3ISO
open dir P:/PS2/CD
If I change the lines on the file, it works the same (just it will read the DVD folder and then stops), so it is not an exception or some corrupted file:
...
open dir P:/PS3/PS3ISO
open dir P:/PS2/DVD
open dir P:/PS3/PS3ISO
open dir P:/PS2/DVD
Can someone help me?
webMAN MOD does not support ps3netsrv for PS2 games. The reason is that the PS2 emulator unloads the VSH and replaces the lv2_kernel with the PS2 emulator. In the process the VSH plugin "netiso" needed for communication with ps3netsrv cannot be loaded.
However it supports scanning PS2 content stored in the OPL directories /CD and /DVD in the root of an USB drive formatted in FAT32 or exFAT/NTFS. The selected ISO is first copied to the internal HDD before mount the game.

Ok, yesterday I was looking on how to do it properly. Yes, it is a little bit tricky to do it every time I wanna play a new PS2 game, copy, convert, load, delete manually, start HEN again... I understand the problem on how to do it automatically.
Anyway, the problem is that my ps3netsrv is not scanning the two folders from the INI file, just the one on the first line of it. Is there a reason to it?
If I recall correctly, webMAN-MOD does not scan recursively the subfolders in ps3netsrv.
There are some hacks to allow some exceptions, like single letter subfolders.
As I commented earlier, the OPL folders CD and DVD are supported only via USB drives.
This feature of multiple folders grouped on one category is considered as recursively scan? Because I'm just trying to add the two separate folders to view as PS2ISO. If so, we can add as an observation on the wiki that this INI should not have multiple lines. There is nothing there saying that it cannot be done.
I have to test the feature again to check if the is a bug. The last time I test the .INI it allowed to merge multiple folders (one per line).
Currently I'm busy with a new job. As soon as I get some free time I will check this issue.

No problem, I appreciate the quick replies! And there is no rush to make it work, as I mentioned, I have my PS2 working great haha
