[Solved] Folder not exist or cannot be read

This is all working fine from my Linux desktop, but I have an old laptop that I am going to use as my Serviio server and built it using Windows 7 Pro. (No Windows bashing, it is just easier for others in the house to use it if necessary)

I can't seem to get Serviio to see the network shares I have configured.

I have a USB drive connected to a Netgear WNDR3400 router with multiple shares. I am running Windows 7 Pro. I have Serviio 1.1 installed.
The Netgear shows the USB device as having a NTFS file system.
On the router I have this share configured as: READ ACCESS: All - No password, WRITE ACCESS: All - no password.
I can map shares from the Netgear to the Windows PC without entering any login information and can access them without issue.
I have tried changing the login information for the Serviio service to match the existing user logged into the Windows 7 PC and also created a user with the same username and password as the router admin.
I can ping the router using the ip address and the name I have given it.
I have tried creating a shared folder in Serviio using the mapped drive letter and the UNC path using the name and the ip address of the router.
I can see the folder structure from my DLNA device (Folders > Streaming), but it always says "no files exist".

Any ideas?

Re: Folder not exist or cannot be read

maybe try setting up a user account on your NAS to match the user credentials of your serviio service user?

Re: Folder not exist or cannot be read

No can do. It's either everyone or the admin of the router. I tried that and it did not work either.

Re: Folder not exist or cannot be read

see FAQ, you have to run the service as a user with read rights on the NAS.

Re: Folder not exist or cannot be read

zip,
I did that. I setup the service to run using the same login credentials as the user logging in to Windows. That user has full rights to the folder and it still did not work. I changed credentials and stopped/started the service and even rebooted.

Any other logs I can post that may help?

Re: Folder not exist or cannot be read

Do you share them in UNC format? \\server\folder

Re: Folder not exist or cannot be read

Yes I do.

I have tried creating a shared folder in Serviio using the mapped drive letter and the UNC path using the name and the ip address of the router.

Still no luck.

Re: Folder not exist or cannot be read

The lowercase on is correct. \\dyna\videos\streaming

Re: Folder not exist or cannot be read

I assume if you open cmd and execute

  Code:
dir \\dyna\videos\streaming


it works?

Re: Folder not exist or cannot be read

This is why sometimes it helps to bounce things off others!!!

I figured it out. I was adding the path \\dyna\videos\streaming and it should have been \\dyna\entertainment\videos\streaming.

Thanks for being patient.

serviio has been great and I knew it worked, I just couldn't see what was right in front of me.
