[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 426422, member: 76888"] There is a program in that creates virtual files mapped to a directory. Sorry I don't know the name. It is referenced to in in the my pictures subforum of mediaportal forum. Basically you can "fool" windows into thinking the files in your network drive are also located in the default playlist directory. ie if i was browsing your default playlist directory and someone adding a new file on your networked directory that file would also appear in that directory. The file only has one physical location and one version but it appears in two locations. the other option is to create a batch file that on startup copies all the files from the network drive to the playlists folder [B]Suggestion / Feature Request:[/B] It's unclear that when you use the Numeric Buttons _Remote Button #: to assign a playlist that you have to enter .m3u at the end of the playlist name. A lot of users might not even realise the file extension used for playlists as windows explorer by default hides known file extensions. A better option would be selecting the playlist option launches a file browser box or alternatively the window automatically appends .m3u to the playlist name if the user doesn't give an extension. [B]Bug Report:[/B] Assigning a Numeric Button: Remote Button # to [Playlist] and selecting Jump on play: [Now Playing] Results in the first track being played being rated as # stars, overwriting any rating that might already be set.
