Hello everyone!
So after many months of procrastination I finally got around to updating from Windows 7 to 10, after fixing some issues with Gigabtye software compatibility and windows continually forgetting mapped (NAS) drive credentials I now have everything running smoothly. To my relief, MediaPortal and my database survived the migration and continues running as before; with one exception....
Moving pictures now displays every single movie file in red and notes that the file's are "currently not available" and that I should "reconnect the media (folder) labled 'video' to Y:\"
Yet the file path for the files remain exactly the same as it was before the Windows update, they haven't changed. They're still the same Y:\ and Z:\ mapped drives, the credentials are solid, the sub-folders are identical; and the watch folders remain untouched. I tried to add the Y:\Video path as provided and recognized by windows as a watch folder, (same as the existing path that's already being watched) but it claims the path to be invalid; but it isn't. This is also restricting MovingPictures from recognizing and or importing any new files.
Now here's the really strange part.... Even though MediaPortal plugin configs claim the paths to be invalid, Inside MediaPortal every single TV Series and Movie file plays flawlessly; so clearly the file paths cannot possibly be invalid. What am I missing here? I can only assume that this is tied into the changes I made to the credentials, to fix that I deleted every single windows based credential and replaced them with new entries (same exact IP addresses and file paths) and also added “Send LM & NTLM – user NTLMv2 session security if negotiated” to the LAN network security settings via the group policies editor.
Scratching my head over this one, stumped. Perhaps MediaPortal Config doesn't have permissions or credentials to access the mapped drives? Please help!
