[QUOTE="scoop, post: 33543, member: 10498"] 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 [/QUOTE]
