Hi,
FYI it is Windows bug not MMW and is common occurrence when using Linux based NAS. I have that issue for years on my QNAP NAS.

You should any folder with small number of files eg.:
1. Create Folder Temp and copy one file
2. Use windows explorer to navigate to that path (mine looks like "\\192.168.1.111\Multimedia\Temp"
3. Copy whole path
4. Open MMW -> File Add
5. Paste path and press ADD so that it is in list of scanned folders -> OK
6. After that In MMW you can easily add/browse "\\192.168.1.111\" and its subfolders as it will be hardcoded under network

You can type (or copy & paste) the full Path you want scanned at the bottom to Add it for scanning.

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is a MM problem or an issue with Windows 10. For some reason, I'm unable to browse network locations using the MM Add/Rescan Folders Browser. Whenever I choose the 'Network' option and open one of the next level twisties no Network locations are found. I'm experiencing this problem with both MM4 and the current MM5 beta.

AFAIK all the basic Windows 10 Network file options are working correctly. I can browse the Network locations using Windows Explorer. However, for some reason I'm not able to access them with MM.

Is this a known issue? I'd welcome any suggestions for investigating further.

Thank you.
