Windows download folder not found during Post Processing

[hubdows]

I have headphones installed on a Windows 8 machine in the C:\Headphones folder. Sabnzbd downloads music to the X:\music folder. I setup the proper download folder in the downloads tab, but receive this message during post processing? I can browse to the folder normally and there are full read/write permissions on it. What else could be going on?

I needed to you use a folder context that python could understand. I changed the download folder location to: //servername/foldername/music

Yes it's a little confusing. Natively, Python can't see mapped drives in Windows without loading a library, but it universally recognizes UNC mapping (Linux style with a forward slash "/" ).

So the easiest way to do this is to open File Explorer and look at the drive mapping. For example, my music folder is:

 >MP3 (\\fileserver\Music) (X:)

Or in Windows UNC:

 \\fileserver\Music\MP3

Or in Universal UNC (which is the path you will enter in Headphones):

 //fileserver/Music/MP3

This may be a result of the developers trying to keep Headphones source code as universal as possible. It's just not well documented.
