Hey guys,
My understanding is that WMC, in general, has issues recording to networked drives. I actually tried mounting a network share from my router (eSata drive connection with the Netgear Nighthawk v7500) and was able to still access the share in WMC and browse recordings (and playback). I didn't think to try recording however (and maybe that's where the issue lies).
Anyway, in this setup, if I try to launch ServerWMC it ends up popping up an error complaining about how the local drive (which is effectively a SMB share) cannot be written or recorded to or something and ends up not launching. I've tried mapping the drive as well as creating a symlink - both methods seem to be recognized in WMC but ServerWMC will complain. With the symlink, I think I tried sharing the folder as well but no go.
Is this just a hard limitation with serverWMC? I'd really like to use the eSata ability of the router.
