> SC7 includes a browse facility for picking the source of your music > files and playlists. You can pick music on local drives and also mapped > network drives.
The new dialog was introduced to represent the SC's point of view, as this is not the same as the user's pov: if run SC on a NAS, it would probably see something like /media/drive1/music, where you as a user would see \\nas\music, or Z:\. If this dialog shows mapped drives, then you're running SC on a Windows box in application mode. A service doesn't see your mapped drives unless you configure it manually to do so. BTW: can you browse the network share, if you enter the UNC path (or at least the //server/share part of it) before opening the dialog? > If your music and playlists are on a mapped drive > SlimServer will list two instances of any music included in your > playlis, whether your playlist. Make sure your music path is the same as the one used in the playlists. If your playlists use the UNC, but your music path uses a mapped drive (or vice versa), then these are distinct files for SC. > It looks like the only way you can stop this happening is to select UNC > paths to your music and playlists. Whatever you chose: just make sure you always use the same. > Another addendum. Network drives only seem to appear in my Slimserver > Music and Playlist Browse/Select window if I've already visited them > via Windows Explorer - how wierd is that? Very wierd indeed. You mean the drives show up, but they don't display any content? One more reason _not_ to use mapped drives.
