CasparCG Server setting a drive as media path

General
1

Hi,

I have a CasparCG Server running on my server. it was working fine until I change its media path to a drive rather than a folder. now, it is not running and it is getting an UNHANDLED EXCEPTION:

below is the log of it.

Type "q" to close application.
Logging [info] or higher severity to C:\ChameleonLog\

any idea?

thanks,

Have you tried to add a folder in drive M and let Caspar use that instead of the root?

<media-path>M:\media</media-path>

instead of:

<media-path>M:\</media-path>

3

yes, I do. and it works fine. so we cannot set a drive as media path on the CasparCG Server?

4

It seems. I also don‘t know why.

5

Usually drive roots have admin or weirder permissions. I’d try to allow full control to current user.
Also you could try with a / instead of \

6

In drive root, you have “System Volume Information” hidden directory where access is denied. That’s why CasparCG can’t retrieve information from it.
