Music/Playist folder on a mapped network drive

[msfeinstein]

I recently purchased a NAS device (the D-Link DNS-323) and thought it would be a good idea to relocate my music (among other things) off of my server to this device for safekeeping (I have it running n RAID1 mirroring mode). When I try to re-point the SlimServer (v6.5.0) Music Folder to the newly mapped network drive (rather than the local hard drive), I get the message: Oops = "M:" doesn't seem to be a valid directory. Try again.
The same holds true for the Playlists Folder.
I'm assuming there's some sort of issue using mapped rather than local drives. Can this be (easily) overcome)? Thanks.

Hi,

I have a Necus n2100 drive mapped to a static IP address 192.168.2.6 which is drive (z:\) so first I tried pointing slimserver to Z:\music which is the folder I have my music and playlist folder moved to. This did not work so I found the suggestion in this thread to read the faq. so then I tried this \\192.168.2.6\music with the same results. Slimserver does not recognise this as a valid path. I am using winXP sp2 Please Help

Mitch

ps. I can click on the mapped drive icon and see the folder within winXP!!!

Looks like "we're" migrating to mother-Logitech!

Or with the new SlimTray (6.5.1) you can select "Automatically run at login" from the right click menu. This will allow SlimServer to run in userland, which can then follow the mapped drive letter.

Also yes we're in the process of migrating the knowledge base to "Mother-Logitech"

First I thougt that the problem came, when changing the Language..

But now I have have changed, to "Automatically run at login", and this seems to solve the problems..

Thnx.. :-)
