If the PC that has the actual music files is running some flavor of windows NT (2000, 2003, XP) there are hidden "autoshares" If you have music on machine foo in directory c:\music, you can refer to it as \\foo\c$\music.
SqueezeCenter still needs to have "permissions" to read that directory. You can either setup c:\music on foo so that the group "guests" has read permission, or, if you are running SC as, say, user "sc", then there also needs to be a user "sc" on foo - and the passwords need to be the same in both places. As mentioned before, if running as a service, you cannot run as the local system account (the one you get if you click "run as service" without entering a username and password) - that account isn't permitted to use network resources. To see what SC is "running as", go to the services manager, go down to "Squeeze Center" and click the "login" tab. You can change it right there, too... If you are not running windows on the machine that holds your music, please mention it as there are potential samba issues (and likely OS/X ones, too). -- bobkoure ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bobkoure's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14646 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43407 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
