[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1182471, member: 18896"] I use mapped paths all the time, but I do verify the path is functional before I allow MediaPortal to launch. Verify in a command line that the mapped path is available, when you use Explorer GUI it might be "created" in that moment, and when you have a password protected share that is being mapped this will cause issues for Moving-Pictures if that has not transpired before it is launched. This is what I use myself when my HTPC is started: [code] :NoNetwork IF NOT EXIST "X:\Dummy.txt" NET USE X: /DELETE IF NOT EXIST "X:\Dummy.txt" NET USE X: "\\SERVER\UNC Path" /PERSISTENT:YES IF NOT EXIST "X:\Dummy.txt" ping 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 5000 IF NOT EXIST "X:\Dummy.txt" Goto NoNetwork CALL MediaPortal.Backup.cmd [/code] [/QUOTE]
