November 14, 201411 yr Got my first Windows 8 machine and tried adding my music fold from the Unraid Server to the library and it doesn't let me, says it can't use it. Can windows really not us a network file location any more?
November 14, 201411 yr Oh man, I can barely remember that I had to tweak some security setting in windows 8 in order to map a drive with unRAID. You may have to do a search for windows 8 and samba access to see what that procedure/setting was.
November 14, 201411 yr You can map Samba network drives in Windows 8 without any tweaks needed, but I don't think that it's possible to add a network drive to the Libraries (so it appears in My Music)
November 14, 201411 yr The network location must be indexed by windows before it can be included in a library.

Funny that it works fine in Media Player but they won't show up in the Music App on the start screen.......
