I would like to know if the following is possible.
I have NzbDrone setup on 1 PC which has SabNzb on it as well, in this configuration it sees all my directory paths. For example it sees X:, Y: and Z: but I also created a folder on a different PC which is also shared, but when I go to drone’s configuration to add the path I don’t see it.
Is this because it has to be on the same PC that drone is setup on? I tried using \\PC4\TV4 but that doesn’t work. I am sure it can’t be done, but I just want to make sure.
Works no problems at all. As an example say I have a another pc that is called XBMC-PC and a folder on there called temp I just add the folder in drone as \\XBMC-PC\temp (there is also an extra \ in front but the post does not show it)
Possibly a permissions thing ?? , I grab the name by using file explorer and right clicking on the bar up the top and copy address to text then copying this into drone.
Is NzbDrone running as a service? If so it wouldn’t be using the same user account (by default), but you can change the account it runs under in the Windows Services control panel.
It is running as a service but it should be running as the same user because I am using the same credentials across my network. I am a bit lost as to what you mean here.
Services can run under the context of many users, but its not usually the user you log into windows with, often its a system account or an account dedicated to running that particular service.
