You can only have one user in such a scenario and it has to be the same user on both machines, otherwise you may get permissions/access problems.
Understood.
To remove files that were added from folders using an "Add Folder" command, you'll need to go one of the non-folder playlists that shows them (e.g. "All Music") and delete them from there.
Not very convenient if large numbers of files are involved but I understand your instruction.
Regarding the iTunes playlist - can you please send your iTunes XML file to support (at) conceiva (dot) com and we'll see if there's anything in it that may give us a clue.
I am sending a link to the file.
Now that I am able to play files (although I haven't yet changed the setup to run on the server as you described) I have found two other odd things. Songs will play between 10 and 20 seconds and then quit and go to the next song. Pressing Play on the remote for the Onkyo in the first few seconds makes the whole song play. This behavior is not consistent. Some albums seem to play with no problem. Also the time before skipping to the next song seems random in that interval. I also find that some songs come up with a message "Can't Play" immediately and then skip to the next song. If I select the same song several times in succession eventually it will play. Again this isn't consistent. Some songs play just fine. Any thoughts?
Thanks for all your help with this.
