Title: Cannot read from Network?
Post by: zenpmd on October 11, 2014, 04:33:28 pm

I have two computers, my main PC and a HTPC downstairs. All my flacs are stored upstairs and each folder is shared and the network drive is mapped downstairs. A few days ago all the tracks were successfully imported into jriver downstairs, except now it just says "file not found". Nothing has changed. Any ideas?

What is even more perculiar is that I can go into the mapped network drive in windows and play the flac using another programme...

On the upstairs computer (HTPC) can you see the files on the downstairs computer if you are in MC Standard View and go to Audio>Files or by using the Drives & Devices>Explorer?
Is the HTPC setup as a "client" with the downstairs computer being the "server" in MC?

How do I set/see which is client and server?

Just to be clear, its the upstairs computer where everything else, the downstairs one is the HTPC which just reads from the network

tools>options>general>features>...look under features to see if 'Media Network (Library server, DNLA, ect) is checked.....

well that may be the problem then....uncheck them close MC on both pc and then open them and see what happens...can't hurt cuz u can always check em again....but i suspect its the problem if both want to be the server or both r a client....
