Network shares with an IP address (instead of a symbolic name) are not visible in Plex #86

When a mapped network share is configured that the source path contains an IP address (e.g. \\192.168.111.22\media to M), it fails to map (the drive is not visible in the Plex library folder selection dialog, manually entered paths like M:\Movies don't work either).

However, if a path to that share uses the symbolic hostname instead of the IP address (e.g. \\home-nas\media), it works without issues.

Could be related to #38 (or not).
