Re: Adding Files

You don't add files, you add a location. That is a folder. That said, Serviio has to have permission to access the file location. If you're using a Windows computer, Serviio runs under a Local System user account. This account has almost no network access, so if your file location is on a NAS or other networked device, it probably can't see it. The simplest way to resolve this is to change the user account that Serviio uses to the user account you use to log into the computer. This is changed using the Services applet.
