[QUOTE="MJGraf, post: 1174492, member: 17886"] Hi mperezm77, No. "Server Media Source" just means that the media source is accessed from the MP2-Server - but it may be located on a local drive of the MP2-Server Computer or on a shared drive/Folder in the Network. The opposite is a "Client Media Source". Imagine you have MP2-Server and MP2-Client installed on different computers, on your MP2-Client computer's local drive is a folder with music files and this folder is [B][U]not[/U][/B] accessible via a Windows shared dive/folder. In this case, you cannot use a Server Media Source to access the files, because there is no way to do so. You need to start the MP2-Client on that computer and add a Client Media Source. But as soon as you make this folder accessible in the network with a Windows shared drive/folder, it is recommendable to use a Server Media Source. From your logs I cannot see that you even tried to add a shared driver/folder as a Media Source. So to make sure you're trying the right thing: You go to Settings => Media sources => Media sources configuration => Add media source Then it says "Choose media source", where you have two choices for Server Media Sources: "Local filesystem" and "Network neighborhood". There you obviously need to choose "Network neighborhood" and click on "Continue". Now - after a while of waiting (while MP2 scans your network for available computers) you should see all your network computers and be able to navigate to your shared folder/driver in order to add it as Media Source. If you cannot see all your network computers at this point, please close MP2-Client and post the MP2-[B][U]Server[/U][/B] log here. Hope that helps... [/QUOTE]
