The NAS has no security setup ... and a different XP box was accessing it with slimserver just fine. But I tried that anyway. I tried to set Slimserver to run as a Network service and also under my account. When I set it as a network service, it started to startup and then would stop. When I

Is this anything to do with the fact that you have security setup on the NAS box. Slimserver runs as a local system service and will therefore get access denied when trying to view files on the NAS. Have you tried configuring this to run with your account & password? Not sure about ITunes inter

I went back and reread your original post. The big monkey wrench for me is that you're using iTunes, which I've never used, so I don't fully understand how SlimServer integrates with it. The way I thought it worked was that you left the SlimServer Music Folder blank, since all the data is picked

... I've tried both ways. With iTunes - and there the problem is that it scans and comes back empty. Without iTunes/Direct Scan - there the problem is that it won't accept the network path as valid. I'm gonna try and install an older version of slimserver ... 6.3 or something. -- JeremyPayne

What's even weirder is that it won't read the iTunes XML file anymore either. I'd be happy to let iTunes do the scanning and then just read the results, but it comes back with zero results. -- JeremyPayne JeremyPayne's Pr

I can access the Infrant using windows. I can get there using the mapped drive or by opening the UNC path with start/run and poke around no problem. Even weirder ... if I declare a folder on C: to be the music folder and put a shortcut to a file on the network drive, that gets read and put in th

The slashes go the other way on Windows. Why? For arcane reasons, DOS used "/" as an option separator. (Like "dir /w" I think worked.) So the / was taken when DOS3.0 came out so they use backslashes for directory separators. -- snarlydwarf

So ... if I state that the music folder is a folder on my C: drive, that is acceptable as a valid directory. If I put real files in there, it works and brings them into the library ... but that's no good as there is only 10GB free on the laptop. If I put a shortcut to a file on the network drive

I'm having all kinds of weird problems. Any insight or suggestions would be most appreciated. There are a couple issues here, but they are all related ... I just bought an Infrant ReadyNAS NV+. I have a library of about 15,000 files - mostly mp3 and m4a - that takes up about 120GB of space. Th
