Logitech Media Server Version: 7.7.4 - 1387532358 @ Wed Feb 5 02:05:00 CUT 2014 OS: Windows 8.1 Setup notes: - running LMS as an unpriviliged service user, svc_logitech - media library is a guest-visible read-only SMB share at \\theserver\media\music - service account user can read media files on the share in an interactive login session - I ran this setup fine on 7.7.3/XP and 7.7.3/win8.0. I tried to move the LMS to an OSX Mavericks machine with disastrous result, and upon coming back to the windows box (now upgraded to 8), i installed 7.7.4 Issue: Can't get network path configured as a media folder 1. Web interface cannot add network shares: The browse box only shows local drives (physical and iscsi mounts), and when I type "\\" paths or network-mounted drive letters in the field and hit "apply" the field is cleared. 2. Control panel appears to allow the paths to be added, but it does not really work: I can add the path and hit apply, but if I force a rescan, only the local paths are searched, and if i exit and reopen the panel, the paths are gone.
Created attachment 7711 [details] scanner.log Scanner log shows none of the network drives attempted
Created attachment 7712 [details] CP Screenshot showing apparent network path media locations Control panel screenshot showing apparent config of network locations at time of attached scanner.log
Created attachment 7713 [details] Webui side of the same issue Here is the webui only allowing browse to local drives.
WebUI notes: same failure in both IE 11.0.96 and Mozilla (Waterfox 24); both my admin user and the service account have m: mounted to the SMB share.
