When I try to set a mapped network drive as my music catalog
f. ex 'T:\music' it wount work, but if I use '\\Whatever\Music' i works
Is this an error, or is it me not understanding how things work?

Since drive letter mapping in windows are user specific, the LocalSystem account which runs the Tomcat service (or the servlet engine you use) doesn't have the drive letters (e.g. T:) that you have as a logged in user.

That's why your drive letter T: doesn't work, but using the share name does.

I have a similar problem, but my Subsonic instance cannot see anything on the shared drive. Even \\server\sharename.

Any ideas?

Hi,

I just tested it on my system (Win XP), and both "T:" and "/server/share" works for me.
Please have a look in c:\subsonic\subsonic.log if there are any error messages.
