[QUOTE="UNOPARATOR, post: 1193493, member: 56815"] Like the title says, MovingPictures crashes MP on startup when UNC share has permission problems. [U]A little background:[/U] MP runs on a PC called [B]HTPC[/B] and I have a share called [B]\\NAS\Movies[/B] which MovingPictures has as a library. Both [B]HTPC[/B] and [B]NAS[/B] are on a Windows 10 Home Network and that share is read-only for Homegroup. It has been running like this for many years with different versions Windows. Today I updated both PCs to Windows 10 Annivery Update, and after that MP started to crash on start-up (every time). When I looked at the logs it was pointing at MovingPictures for not being able to reach that share - [I]but I accidentally cleared them (sorry)[/I]. After that I tried Windows Explorer to see if the share was reachable from [B]HTPC[/B] by typing [B]\\NAS[/B] which showed me [B]Movies[/B] share, but I got a permission error when I tried to go inside. I tried the same thing from another PC in the same Homegroup and it was working. I logged into the [B]NAS[/B] and stopped the share and then re-shared to Homegroup as read-only (just like before), then all was fine and working. So there seems to be some exception handling needed in the start-up of MovingPictures where it checkes the existing libraries. If you must have logs, I might try to reproduce by creating a new share, add it to MovingPictures, saving the settings then mess up with the permissions to get the error on start-up for logs. But that might take me awhile since a new week is starting. Thank you for such a great plugin and keep up the good work. [/QUOTE]
