[QUOTE="mm356, post: 1167932, member: 156839"] So I'm trying to connect 2 PC's on my home network to the third server PC running MP TV Server (all Windows 10). When running on the local server machine everything works great. From the other 2 PC's I can connect to the server fine, see the EPG, and even stream recordings. However, Live TV won't stream b/c the server configuration has a local drive set for the timeshift buffer. This all makes sense. What doesn't make sense is when I try and change that local drive to a mapped version of that same location - MP won't allow it. On the local server machine it is a dedicated HD (separate from the SSD OS drive) that is D:\Media\TimeShiftBuffer. I've mapped the shared folder D:\Media to Z:\ on the local machine just as I do on each of the other remote client PC's, and even Windows Explorer shows it this way. So in theory, I should be able to point the timeshift buffer to Z:\TimeShiftBuffer in the server configuration and it should work on all three. However, the TV server configuration software doesn't show the Z: version, only the D:\Media version (even when I select it from under the "network" listing showing \\192.168.1.2\Media, it gets remapped back to the D:Media string), and thus the other two PC's get an error b/c they don't have that local folder. What really makes it odd is that the server configuration box does show other networked folders from other machines on the network, just not this one local one. If I could edit the folder location and manually type it in that would solve my problem, but I can't. What's the best way to set up the server to use a shared locally attached drive for the timeshift buffer that other remote PC's can also access? [/QUOTE]
