Mapped Drive Lost After Reboot

[fredg89 8]

So I have Emby running as service on a VM running Windows Server 2012 R2. Everything works fine until I reboot the server, then the network mapped drive that I have gets dropped out of Emby. It still comes up when I go to check under "This PC" but I can't figure out why emby drops it.

i'm guessing the mapped drive is not yet connected by windows and a library scan runs within emby. first of all i would avoid mapped drives because windows will disconnect them randomly. i would just give emby the direct path.

I originally tried that but when I go to Library >>> Add Folder >>> Network. Nothing comes up. Am I trying to do it wrong?

sometimes the file browser won't auto-detect network devices. just try typing it in. The note at the top of the popup says

 

 

 

Network paths can be entered manually in the event the Network button fails to locate your devices. For example, \\server or\\192.168.1.101.

That's exactly what it said. I went ahead and just mapped the directory and it seems to be working. Letting it populate than I will restart and let you know if it works.
