UNC Path not detected

[deflergrate]

Hi,

Before I get told that Google is my friend, I have spent several hours scouring the internet and trying various methods with no result.

Essentially i simply want Sonarr to download to my library folder on my NAS, which is a mapped drive, I obviously first attempted ‘S:/’ in the beginning but saw many people stating to rather use UNC paths, however, try as I might, the only thing Sonarr detects is my ‘C:/’ - can anyone help me here please???

I am using Sonarr as a service and am adamant I would prefer to do so for my purposes, there is no way this should be the actual culprit, Sonarr is just not able to detect my mapped drive and I have gone through all the settings and forum posts on Synology as well as through every post on Reddit and everything I try doesnt work.

I gather that it is down to the service user running by default as Local System but when I try change the User and restart Sonarr it then gives me a login error and doesnt function.

I’m pulling my hair out here and would really, really appreciate some assistance because clearly I am in far over my head…

If you’re running as local system then you’re running Sonarr v2 which is end of life and not supported for over a year now

Services cannot access mapped drives.

but when I try change the User and restart Sonarr it then gives me a login error and doesnt function.

What do you mean login error?

Hi,

I just downloaded this morning from Sonarr.tv so I had assumed it was running the latest version?

Thanks, this is where i read that i should be changing the user in order for Sonarr to access my mapped drive, but when I try to do so and save, stop and restart service, it gives me a login error message immediately, not Sonarr, Windows.

I cant seem to find any issue that anyone else has had with this exact problem?
