Mopar_Mudder Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 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? Quote Link to comment
WeeboTech Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment
Flibblebot Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 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) Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 The network location must be indexed by windows before it can be included in a library. Quote Link to comment

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