Using Windows shortcuts with SlimServer can be tricky. You might find it easier to manage if you first create an empty folder on the machine running SlimServer and designate it as your music folder. Within this folder create one shortcut to each of the music file locations, both on the network and on the local machine. Make sure that any shortcuts create are from the perspective of the server machine itself. Generally, it's easiest if you create the shortcut while logged in at the SlimServer machine. If you ever want to run SlimServer as a Windows service, you'll be much better off using UNC style paths to any network shares on the NAS. So instead of using 'T:', the shortcut would look something like: \\NASname\ShareName\MusicFolder or possibly just \\NASname\ShareName To do this in Windows, right-click the shortcut after you've created it and change the target. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41066 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
