XMLTV Import from network drive (1 Viewer)

[xurr]

XmlTv plugin doesn't seem to be able to import from my tvguide.xml which is stored on a network drive (mapped as drive H). The "Import status report" is always empty. The same config works on MP SVN without TV3.

Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong? In the second case, I'll post more details...

Thanks!

Hi!

TVServer is running as a service and is under another user context. It means that it cannot use the mapped drive. Instead you could try using the UNC path (\\servername\share) that you use to mapp the drive.

Make shure that the permissions on the share is correct. The TVserver normaly runs under the SYSTEM account and has no network access by default. To make life easier you can give "everyone" READ access to the share.

You are 100% right, I was accessing a mapped network share which was only accessible with the user running mediaportal... now I switched to a \\server\path syntax and let the SYSTEM user access it, it works!

Now I just have to build some Linux script to move files around and change permissions...

Many thanks!
