Play full file path over network

General
1

how can i play a file over a network path. if i have these two file “\\192.168.0.1\media\file.mp4” and “c:\media\file.mp4”. with the following commands, only the first command works

  1. PLAY 1-0 “C://MEDIA/FILE.MP4” works
  2. PLAY 1-0 “//192.168.0.1/MEDIA/FILE.MP4” Gives error PLAY FAILED

mapping “\\192.168.0.1\media” to a local drive (z:), does not work either
PLAY 1-0 “z://FILE.MP4” PLAY FAILED

I can second this issue: network paths (the ones starting with //) yield a PLAY ERROR, but network mapped drives work fine.

Any ideas for this? I’ve been testing it and couldn’t get it to work in any way.

Hi…
Use this Command on the CCG media root Directory:
mklink /d [FileName] [Target File Path]

Like This:
mklink /d MkLinkTest.mxf \\192.168.100.25\Hires\MkLinkTest.MXF
