Hello, could you please describe how to fill the folder ower network as you mention :

in directory mode the directory is now monitored; if the number of files changes the playlist is regenerated (useful if the folder is filled e.g. via a network share)

thank you very much

Hi, im not sure I understand your question. if you want the looper to play files from a network drive then you need to mount a network drive (e.g. NFS) via the os and then set the looper directory to it - but I never tested this so I don't know if or how well it works. (especially If the network and mount is not available on bootup before the looper is started...)

Cheers
