[QUOTE="Stilez, post: 1235299, member: 150609"] I just installed MP2, and tried to enter a media source. All my media is on my NAS. I entered the username+pw credentials for the share (which I know are correct and work without issue as a user). I then tried to enter the share. The list of network shares includes all 6 devices that offer shares on the LAN (including my NAS). The NAS is listed as "\\NAS_NAME" in the list. But when I click, the "+" at the side goes from "+" to "-" but there is nothing expanded below it. I don't know why and as it uses a different user account it's hard to troubleshoot. I instead tried to enter the path manually, but whatever I type (even just \\NAS_NAME from the previous screen) it pops up the usual red message that says it will accept an easy path or a full resource path, and whatever I type, it won't accept it. If it's able to accept a usual URI then it's not doing so for me; if it wants a resource then I don't know how to convert my NAS path to a full-length MP2 resource string. So I can't add any media to my MP2 install, which makes it a bit unusable. Can I have some help with 2 aspects of this: [LIST=1] [*]debugging why it's not expanding the NAS server when I click "+", and [*]how do I convert a NAS path to a resource path that the manual entry field will accept properly? [I](If this needs me to use the registry to find the system GUID for the NAS or whatever, that's ok as long as someone explains how I should get the correct data to build the resource string)[/I] [/LIST] Thanks :) [/QUOTE]
