Client Mode File Does Not Exist

#1

Post by ScottRobert » Sat Feb 08, 2020 6:42 am

I'll admit I'm a novice at file sharing. I'm trying to schedule a task to run in client mode on my laptop. When I run epg123_update manually in task scheduler, I get the following error in the trace file:

[ERROR] File "\\MEDIACENTER\epg123\output\epg123.mxf" does not exist.

I'm able to manually import this file in the epg123 client guide tool. I'm stuck and would greatly appreciate any advice.

You will need to edit the task to include your user's password in order to access the shared folder. Just open Task Scheduler, double click the 'epg123_update' task to edit, and uncheck the 'Do not store password' setting. When you click [OK], it will prompt you for the password.

If you are running on Windows10, then you will have to change the User to an actual user account (with password).
