Mylar (windows) can't access network share

[thatnovaguy]

I've searched for a day or two and haven't found an similar issue listed. I'm running Mylar on windows 10 but am trying to keep all of my comics on my unraid share. (Didn't want to use the unraid version of mylar because I have all of my nzb programs running on a vm behind a vpn. It's a ham-fisted way of things but it works. :P) I currently have the specific share folder mounted via mklink but get errors in adding a new series and importing comics that are already in the folder.

I've also tried using the share mapped V:\Media\Comics and \HTPC\Videostorage\Media\Comics both of which returned this

I'm sorry if it's something glaringly obvious as I'm really new to mylar (and python in general). I have full read/write access to the share.

It looks like it's a permissions issue of some kind if you did an mklink /D, and not a /J (since junctions only work on local drives).

The user running mylar (not group, user) has to have full permissions to 'C:\Users\WinBox\Downloads\Comics', on both machines - but depending on where you mounted the link, it might actually be higher than \Comics

I think I've got it figured out now. Permissions are hard >.<'

How did you resolve it. I'm having some issues with permissions too.

[thatnovaguy]

I honestly didn't. I ended up switching everything over to Linux mint. But more to the point you basically have to have a user on your unraid that matches your windows user. Even then they may not get along. Sorry that I'm not any help!
