Hi Folks,

Love MC for my music and files, and have a pc loaded with a library. I want to access it from my laptop via WIFi. The pc files are shown as UNC folders on the laptop. So, when I try to configure the Media Import folders, all I can see are the local laptop folders. The File Explorer Network folder does not seem to work with wireless connections, so I needed to configure them as UNC. Is there a workaround for this?

This problem and others with using Win 10 have caused me lots of grief since I upgraded.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Import from network locations should work via Wi-Fi.  No known problems.

What happens if you browse from Explorer?

Make sure you configure Windows Defender.  There's a thread for it on the MC27 board.

Browsing from Explorer IS my problem. Win 7 allowed File Explorer Network to show all my machines in the network folder. In Win 10, it shows as empty. If I wire connect, the Explorer works as in Win 7.

Since I have Data files on my other machines, I needed to create UNC connections on all the wireless ones so they can communicate. If MC could use UNC, I would have no issues and would revert to JRiver. On condition that Gizmo was usable for remote control.
