You can not add a windows library. You will need to select the physical location of the folder such as C:/Collection/Movies

I have fixed this already in our next build by blocking this.

[Rew452]

That was quick! Thanks.

That's just it I am trying to add network drives shared from the server, when I get this error.

Rew

[Motz]

can you take a snap shot of the folder you are trying to add on the "add folder dialog" that pops up.

Also try maybe just to map the drive. I know //server/movies like that work as I use that at home. So that is kind of weird.

[Rew452]

Motz,

I also tried to map the drive and to add that drive but end result the same.

I not sure how to add sreen shots on this board tried but could not do it. Can you please give me the best way to do this.

Thanks

Here are a couple different ways to capture the screen shot. http://www.wikihow.com/Take-a-Screensho ... ft-Windows Once you have it captured, give it a name and save it somewhere. My Pictures is the usual location. Reply to a post, then use the Upload attachment button.

To respond to your original post, does this apply to what you are trying to do? http://www.thegreenbutton.tv/forums/vie ... 776#p37776

No, not the same from what I can see.

I have the drive on the server as shared drive with r/w for everyone, media browser had no problem with using it.

Well it worked. Did the same this morning.

Rew

P.S. I resized this morning thinking that was the problem; now they are pretty small to read will recapture and post higher res ones this pm.

[foxwood]

use the Snip tool in Windows 7 to just capture the relevant part of the screen - no need to post the whole 1980x1050 screenshot.

[Motz]

So glad it is working now. This exception is caught properly in the future. It could be that for some reason it had a hard time resolving the UNC path for some reason.

I am still have problems getting my movies to show up on my ipad. At first I got errors about the drive as you can see from the first post but having mapped the 2 server drives as y: and z: no errors but I also don't show the movies either.

I have uninstalled the MMCA app (v870) from the computer and reinstalled but no difference.

I think it maybe YAMMM but am not sure. Can you give me the dirs involved so I can uninstall and make sure everything is clean for new clean installation of MMCA app.

Any other thoughts on this would be appreciated, everything worked beautifully before I made a dedicated HTPC and WHS2011 server. and really want that again.

Thanks
Rew

[Motz]

For the remote drives did you specify the username and password in the config on the HTPc?

[Rew452]

no, I just checked and the HTPC has read/write on both drives.

Rew

[Rew452]

I should correct that there is a user name of HTPC but no password.

When i remove and installed all my data was there which make me think there is a cache or some leftovers which are not being removed and have some bad data which is being use on the new install.

Rew

[Motz]

So the cache is located in C:/programdata/yammm/cache, you could delete this folder and restart the yammm service. Also look into the system event logs as if it can't acceess them I am pretty sure it logs an event.

So your movies are located on your Home Server right? You would need to enter your username/password of the home server into the my media center config under advanced->network

[foxwood]

A Service doesn't run with the same permissions that you do, so when you, working in the foreground, enter a username and password to access files on a network drive, a service that's working in the background doesn't get to see that content. So if you want the app to see content that's stored on a network drive, you have to tell the Service what username and password to use to access that content.

[Rew452]

There is no C:/programdata/yammm/cache directery. And if I search C:\ for a Yammm any thing I get back the following

Thanks, did not know that. I added HTPC which is the username and nothing in password. Under the Advanced - Network settings

No change.

Are your network locations set up as y:\xyz or \\server\xyz in the Library? Remember that the service doesn't know about foreground drive mappings.

[Rew452]

Movie Libraary drives are listed as

\\Home2013\m
\\Home2013\n

When I pick z: I get \\Home2013\m which is m: on server and for y: it is \\Home2013\n, n: is the drive on server
