Does not work with Windows UNC paths

Open Taomyn opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

When directly viewing files on a Windows UNC path e.g. \SERVER\Share\File.mp4 it says the file does not exist.

I also could not see from the script if the video is stopped before it deletes because VLC has a nasty habit of locking the file until it opens the next one.

workaround net use p: "\uncpath" ..

The only commands which might work are net use and pushd. But there's no native way to do it with Lua scripts - so I won't fix it. Another problem is that I have no Windows system for testing, so I could only write some lines and "hope" that it works. Anyway, feel free to contribute ❤️
