Hi,

Are you trying to add the network share via the wizard? If you do, please try to just use the setup. This way works perfectly for me:

- Goto Movies --> Movie Folders
- Click Add
- Give the folder a descriptive name (i.e. "mediacentre-movies")
- Enter in "local path" the UNC path with trailing backslash: \\server\share\path\
- Click OK to add the new folder

FYI: The path to my movies folder doesn't contain a space. Maybe that causes trouble? You could try sharing the folder with spaces as a share name without spaces.

Also make sure the share is accessible (i.e. an IPC$ connection has been made with the server) before you try adding the folder in setup. I always make sure by running a batch file which contains something like this:
[code]@echo off
net use \\<servername>\IPC$ /user:<username> <password>
...
[/code]
Kind regards,
Michel
