Can Share Some Things Not Others In Xbmc, having trouble with multiple shares Options

[gimpacause]

hi all well i finally set my new system up and everything works (sort of)


i have 3 hard drives in my computer i shared drive F:\ completely (through SHARING & SECURITY)
everything worked like a charm only xbox could acess it everyone else locked out

i then tried to share a folder on my D:\ (called it FOLDERD) to the xbox but XBMC always asks me for a password to acess it i can see all the files and folders in the FOLDERD directory but everytime i hit A button to acess a folder or play a file it asks for a username and password when i have not set one up at all F:\ runs like a champ but D:\ is givin me the run arouns anyone have a resolution to this problem



thanks in advance


to make things even stranger i just tried browsing other folders on D:\ and they worked played files and everything so why doesn't FOLDERD let me view its contents and play the files contained in it?

The permissions on your shares don't always apply to all the files/folders within your shares. Especially true if files/folders were added to the share after it's creation.

Bring up the properties of an affected folder and select the "Security" tab. Make sure everything is correct there.

thanks for the reply,

i tried all that first (i should have stated that in the thread but i was wrecked)



even folders on the same drive will allow me to veiw/watch just not this one folder i dont understand it


does anyone know of a good 3rd party xbox1 server that would not interfere with my WMO meadia shares on the xbox360 i remember i had one a few years ago but can't remember the name of it



thanks guys
