download subtitles to a networkdrive (2 Viewers)

[FreakyJ]

Hello.

is there a opportunity to download subtitles to a network drive? TvSeries always tells me: "Unable to download subtitle: Not a local episode!"

I took a look into the src (SubtitleRetriever.cs) and found the following passage:

if (!File.Exists(EpisodeFileName))
                {
                    _errorMessage = "Unable to download subtitle: Not a local episode!";
                    MPTVSeriesLog.Write(_errorMessage);
                    return;
                }

The if returns always false for a network drive or path, but maybe you can expand this passage.

A work around to check if you have permission to write would be to create a file in a try{}catch{} construct.

This would be a big improvement for me because non of my series are locally on my media pc...

best regards

I have all my series on a network drive (samba share), I've never seen this message.

Yeah it's strange.

On both PC's is Win 7 installed and I can play the Series from the Share (via myTvSeries) and can create Files in the WindowsExplorer, but can't download subtitles >_>

There were a lot of posts in the internet from people with such a similar Problem (Files.Exists = false in a network Drive)

They talked often about permissions, but the folder is shared for Everyone and has read/write access oO

I cannot reproduce this issue on my setup, using two Windows 7 PCs with a file share on the other and other as "client".

Read under "Known "issues""

If you're on Windows 7, sometimes there is issue with UAC and DriveFreeSpace not seeing network drives. Solution is to turn off UAC or try fix from the following TechNet article: Some Programs Cannot Access Network Locations When UAC Is Enabled

It might help?

hmm interesting especially the technet article. Maybe my problem is that I mapped my network drives with a batch file because I was trying some things and was to lazy to remap every share after a error in my program...

in detail:
I have a batchfile which maps all my network drives as persistent so that they get reconnected after a restart...

But why can I read but not write because in the technet article they are talking from accessing in general oO

Maybe I can check it tomorrow in detail

But I'm very glad for your help/support
