Hi all

As per the title really.  I just built a NAS and have moved all of my music over to it.  I added everything to a new library using \\server\share and the scan worked fine.

I setup \\server\share in the folder monitor:



But the folder isn't monitored.  As soon as I press Insert, the new music is instantly available, it just refuses to do it automatically as it used to when the music was on a local hard drive.

Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance.

Try mapping the share to a drive letter and monitor the drive letter, not the UNC path.
Download the latest MusicBee v3.5 or 3.6 patch from here.
Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.

I'll give it a try, but I was hoping to avoid that if possible.  It's weird that importing and updating manually works, just not automatic though..

**EDIT** Confirmed as working as a mapped network drive
