Server Imports

[panteragstk]

Is there any way to import a directory from my win2003 server? I would rather not go to a client server mode in sagetv just to host my movie and music files. All I thought I needed to do was direct sage to a shared folder, but it won't work. Any thoughts?

What do you mean by "it won't work"? What exactly isn't happening that you expected to happen, or is happening that you didn't expect?

Are you running Sage as a service? If so, is the service logged into a user account that has permission to access those shares? LocalSystem (the default service login) cannot access network resources.

Sorry for not being clear. I get no video or music files. The service cannot access network resources? I hope I'm not that dumb. I will do a test. It always helps to get another point of view.

It can if it's logged in as a user account with permission to access those resources. The LocalSystem account does not have those permissions.
