Subsonic Forum

with risk of being repetetive. Sorry but I also have a problem with network shares...

I have a laptop running XP sp3 with one admin account, lets say its admin1 and password 1234 and a stationary computer with windows 7 with same adminname, admin1 and the same password.

I share my music folder on my stationary computer and run subsonic on my laptop, but I cant for the world figure out how to add my network share in "music folders" in subsonics webinterface. I try with \\computername\music but nothing happens. I have read and write permissions on the folder "music" on the win 7 machine. I have same name and same password on both machines, if i try to change the settings in the service subsonic under the logon tab from local system account to other account : admin1 and password 1234 then I cant even restart the service. I get the error: could not start the service subsonic on local computer. Error 1069: the service did not start due to a logon failure.

What am i missing here ?
please advice

thx / RR

why not run subsonic from the stationary win7 machine..from subsonic on that machine add in the shared music file .. then on your laptop u should be able to browse to subsonic using the ip address:port number

I have the same question .... but for a different setup.

I have an existing mapped net share (m:\) that hosts my music. It is on its own server, a Buffalo Terastation.

How do I point subsonic running on my new FreeNAS server to that existing network share? I do not really want to move my entire music collection over to the FreeNAS server JUST so subsonic can see them ...

This is the network path:

Please help.

well, im gonna move my music to my AZBox and then, when im away working during the week , im gonna run subsonic on my netbook, wich should be way less energyconsuming than running subsonic server on my stationary comp. The Problem should be the same, still a network share ...
But maybe it sorts itself when im doing it that way.
