Beta Build does not show network drives

Post by meatservo80 »

I installed the latest build of the Beta yesterday in an attempt to get sync configured with my android phone. It was being difficult as expected so I closed and restarted Mediamonkey on Windows 7 and when it opened all my music was shown as missing. I verified that none of the network drives mounted with drives letters from my NAS server were present is the list to select for scanning for music. I resinstalled the latest stable build and all the music was back no issues. So Mediamonkey has issues with the drive letter mapped network drives for some reason in your latest beta build.

This is already a known issue, it's been in the FAQ for years. From http://www.mediamonkey.com/support/inde ... ticleid=49
FAQ wrote:Note that MediaMonkey uses sqlite as the backend database, and it isn't
designed as a multi-user/networked database, so test this approach in your
local environment carefully before deploying.

To set up such a shared environment:
1. On a machine that has MediaMonkey installed, scan a network location
that will contain your music by pasting it into the Scan Folders dialog.
It is preferable to scan a UNC path rather than a mapped drive. e.g.
\\ip _address\path (almost always works)
\\computer_name\path (often works)
J: (mapped network drive often fails)
