I’m trying to path to a network NAS drive with the network path: \TNAS-AC5F\public\Emby\TV
Sonarr keeps kicking back that the path is invalid. I have tried changing the service from a system service to run as my username, I have also tried running it directly out of the folder instead of as a service. I’m running it with administrative privileges. Other programs such as sabnzbd and CP are not having any problem with the path.
So at some point it was able to connect and now it’s not?
The easiest combination with a network share (a UNC path or mapped network drive) is disabling the Sonarr service and running NzbDrone.exe (gives you a tray icon) or NzbDrone.Console.exe (console window) and connecting via UNC, though a mapped network drive should also work there. Any other combination is prone to issues with authentication or permissions.
I used a mapped network drive the the first try, I use the network path now. It has never connected with either. I have tried without the service (stopped) and tried both exe files. I have also tried with the service logged in as a user.
The last two lines show when I try and add the network path’ \\TNAS-AC5F\public\Emby\TV’ in the series editor

I did try the mapped network drive when using the executable. But I have not tried the IP itself. I will try that when I get home, which won’t be until Sunday. I will return with the results. I have also tried renaming the device as well as I wasn’t sure if the ’ - ’ was an invalid character or not.
oh, haha, Jesus, I hate you windows 10. I found the issue. I had to switch from a Microsoft account to a local account. Even though I was trying to sign in with a local account on the drone service, it still didn’t work. So how would I get this to work while logged in a Microsoft account?
