Streaming AVI based video from Network drives or shares

gato38 · 2006-08-25, 02:26

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to play my AVI's which are all centrally stored on my fileserver and have network drives mapped for it. For the life of me I cannot see any way to browse my mapped drives or shares to play these files. I have checked the FAQ and manual and cannot see anything there. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Gato

In configuration under Movies, add a new Movie Folder. If they are remotely mapped use \\computername\folder\ if its locally mapped, it should show as a drive letter. Imho remotely mapped works more fullproof.
