UNC "Path Does Not Exist"

[Gander 0]

All of sudden my server media library cannot add \\servername\mypath

Media Browser Server notes "Path Does Not Exist"

 

Some notes:

- I can browse to it in explorer

- I can map it

- I've tried adding it using unc, mapped drive, and direct IP

 

This folder was working previously and is not any more- my server uses version 3.0.5083.27698

 

Thanks in advance for any help...

Solved my own problem. The issue was that I stared running the MB service instead of the taskbar application.

The service only has local authentication. Even though I can browse to it when the server is running, I am guessing the service tries to use the same authentication for the unc path which is not the same in my case (The UNC path is actually my NAS which has different login).

 

Turned off the service and went back to the 'application at startup' and all is working.

 

Thanks anyway

If you want to use the service account, go to the services configuration in Windows and change the user account in the Logon tab to match the login on your NAS.
