Hi All!

It seems that my problem has come by for several times but unfortunately I can't find the right solution in the other topics.

The problem I'm having is that I want to use the iTunes Integration of LMS which is installed on a QNAP TS119PII. I've a normal iTunes install on my Windows 7 computer from which the library is on the QNAP NAS. I did this holding down the SHIFT button while starting iTunes and defined a new library on the NAS using the absolute path rather then using a mapped network drive. This means that in iTunes the reference to the library is
Code:
\\NASC877C1\Multimedia\iTunesOnNas\iTunes Media
For iTunes this works well, so far so good.

The next step was turning on the iTunes integration plugin and set it up correctly. In de settings page of the iTunes integration I used the following settings:

Code:
iTunes Music Library.xml Location: /share/HDA_DATA/Multimedia/iTunesOnNas/iTunes Library.xml
iTunes Media Folder: /share/HDA_DATA/Multimedia/iTunesOnNas/iTunes Media/Music
Obviously I also checked "Use iTunes" and "Extract iTunes Artwork (experimental)".

After setting this up the music didn't show in LMS. The scanning results said it had found 15 tracks which is correct but nothing is shown in the artist section (or any other).

So I went digging and turned on the debug function and checked out the log files. Below I've put the lines that to my opinion is the problem:

Code:

In this piece of logging the server tries to normalize the path so the server understands it. The weird part is that the server normalizes it two times to different paths (file:///share/HDA_DATA and file:////NASC877C1) but cant seem to use them. It looks like if the server use the "file:////NASC877C1" prefix which seems correct to me but it obviously doesn't work. A curious thing is the usage of four slashes (file:////NASC877C1) in the second normalisation. This doesn't show in the "file not found" error however.

So.... I'm stuck Does anybody has any clue on solving this problem?
