mystic.bertie 23 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I installed Server and Theatre on my htpc, after struggling to connect using Theatre using my laptop, i got help on the forum here, now i have theatre connecting to the server but when i try and play a 20 min xvid video it just gives me a black screen, after 13 min it crashes. Any advice on what the problem may be ?? cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcw07 347 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Guessing it is permissions or a path problem with your server. Did you use UNC paths? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystic.bertie 23 Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 Guessing it is permissions or a path problem with your server. Did you use UNC paths? Thanks for the reply, im not sure what UNC paths are, is this the path to the folder with my movies in it? On the server config page the path to my movies is like this E:\MOVIES\MOVIES HD I have not shared my media folders so maybe i need to try that.

Solution gcw07 347 Posted November 30, 2013 Solution Share Posted November 30, 2013 Yeah that is an incorrect path. It should be something like: \\COMPUTER-NAME\MOVIES\MOVIES HD See this for more information: http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/703-how-to-make-unc-folder-shares/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
