I have installed subsonic and it's running without any trouble but why i can't see any multimedia files in the list if the music folder is located on a mapped drive?

Is there any workaround for this problem? Because my drive is running out of space and i intending to move all the multimedia files to my mapped drive.

Thanks

Are u using Windows?

use a UNC path like this:

\\NAMEOFPC\NAMEOFSHARE

I have a pc called "DATA01" with a Share called "Movies". so my entires look like this:

\\DATA01\Movies

I'm in the process of migrating libraries to another machine with more drive space, and I've run into the same issue.

It doesn't matter whether I use drive letters or UNC, I don't seem to be able to access the files on the other machine. I know that the machine running Subsonic can see the share point on the machine with the drive space (just moved the files last night), but Subsonic doesn't seem to be able to see them when I update the search index.

Any tips?

Both boxes are WinXPProSP2, fully patched this week.
