[fixed] Problem with Driver Bender shares (1 Viewer)

[mediacowboy]

On the same machine the mp2 is on? If so I can test that in a little bit.

It's on my local machine and it's shares and not drives. E.g. \\SERVER\Videos

When you go into Add Shares, are you choosing Local or Global?
If you want them to be available to other clients it needs to be a global share thru the network.

Driver Bender is installed on the same machine as MP2.

I try to add the DB shares as Global shares in MP2.

I am running MePo1, and I have once tested MP2 Alpha 3. Both on client-server multiseat setup; server is running WHS2011 with DriveBender 1.9.5.0. No problems like yours at any time given....

I have created a small tool which uses the same calls as our network accessor. This tool runs on console and outputs all shares found on given PC name.

Extract the file to any folder, open command line and run it with the server name as argument. Example:

S:\Temp\>NetEnumTest.exe localhost

The resulting output is important, please post it here for further investigation of the network accessing issues.

Example output:

Enumerating shares of server 'localhost'
Type: Special IsFS: True UNC: \\LOCALHOST\ADMIN$
Type: Special IsFS: True UNC: \\LOCALHOST\C$
Type: Special IsFS: True UNC: \\LOCALHOST\D$

Thanks, this reveals the problem: the sharetypes are different (seen at the number value instead of a string).
I'll check this!

 

[johanj]

Yes, its those shares that do not display in MP2. Thanks for checking this!

 

[morpheus_xx]

I think this should fix it!

Stop your MP2-Server, extract the attached plugin into MP2-Server\Plugins, start service again and test to add shares.

Report if it works

 

[johanj]

Yes, it seems to have fixed it! I did a quick test and the share are visible, thanks! Will import later when family sleeps...
