I will do that and test it, but I doubt that is the core issue as this has been working for years with my setup as it currently is.

I’ll get back to you shortly.

EDIT: I can’t get back to you shortly, seeing as all my content is no longer available due to this issue with network drives… [Networkdrives Does not work anymore - #10 by OttoKerner](https://forums.plex.tv/t/networkdrives-does-not-work-anymore/721875/10)
