New to serviio--completely lost with mapped drives/folders
I'm using serviio to stream my pc files to my new Sony BDP-S790. All the folders shared and were populated successfully on the Sony, except for all of my mapped drives. They show up in the Serviio browser list on the S790, but are empty. It says "no playable files". I have a desktop computer with multiple external hdds attached, and access these through my laptop with mapped folders.
I haven't been able to find instructions on how to resolve this problem.
I'm using "add local" for local folders, and "add path" for the mapped/shared folders. And I'm adding the path the same either way, eg
A local folder: M:\Movies
A remote folder: N:\Videos
Is there some other way I should input the path?
I've double and triple checked my sharing and security settings on the remote computer and all seems fine there. In addition, I've always had these folders mapped to the laptop so there has never been any issue accessing them. Also, I had no trouble setting up these folders with the PS3 Media Server I used to use...but I really prefer Serviio, and would hate to go back.
I'd be grateful for any help. Thanks!
I've tried changing serviio's logon from local system to "this account", in which I enter my username here on the laptop. I found that suggested here: http://supremetechs.com/2012/01/12/addi ... o-library/
It will take the name (I've found that if I input a name that doesn't exist or is somehow wrong, I'll immediately get an error and be unable to apply), but once I restart serviio with that new username, I get error: 1069. So I have to revert back to local system account. I've checked and unchecked "allow service to interact with desktop" and that has made no difference. Then I thought maybe the user name I need to enter is the one on my remote computer, since that's where these problematic drives and folders reside, but it wouldn't accept that user name at all.
I've also tried inputting the remote drives in several ways, eg:
add local: I:\
add local: \\LION\My Book (L)
add path: I:\
add path: \\LION\My Book (L)
Those four are all the same drive. If I get the address by going into the drive via mapped, I get the the I:\ address. If I go into the drive under network, I get the \\LION\My Book (L) address. This is just one example--applies similarly to all my mapped/remote drives/folders.
I always force refresh afterwards and wait to see if files will start adding, but they never do. I've even left it alone for several hours to see if it at some point will start to add, but again nothing.
And I've found one additional problem. In at least one of the folders that I successfully added to serviio and shared to the S790, at least half the files within are not showing up. There are multiple subfolders within that larger folder--lots--and I wonder if that's the problem. Is there any limitation with folder depth or something similar? I removed the folder where I noticed this problem and am in the process of re-adding it, which takes some time. I'll know soon if that solved the problem. Otherwise, another mystery to me.
Update: No luck re-adding that folder. The majority of subfolders within the larger folder are still showing up empty. "There is no playable file." The files within are absolutely supported by serviio and the Sony, it's just not reading them or adding everything.
So stuck.
