Description slimdevices.com 2005-12-01 22:51:12 UTC

When the following value is entered into "Music Folder" under "Home / Server
Settings" in the server Web GUI:

  \\nas\media\Music\LIBRARY

The server complains:

  New value for Music Folder rejected: Oops - "\\nas\media\Music\LIBRARY"
  doesn't seem to be a valid directory. Try again.

Expected behaviour is for the server to accept the path as it is valid (can
be opened in Windows Explorer etc).

Have you tried this:

This applies when slimserver is installed as a service, since services don't have the same access to network resources.

Thanks for the pointer. Reconfiguring the service to log in using a different account (one that has priviliges to access the share) appears to have resolved the issue.

Great. Thanks for reporting back!
