    Adding a folder to Windows Library changed sharing permissions?


    I was experimenting with using the DLNA feature on my Panasonic TV to access and play video files stored locally on one of my PC's.

    When I added the VIDEOS folder to the Windows Video Library the content in the folder suddenly became unseen by my Western Digital TV Live box (my current/ancient media player). When I removed the folder from the WD Library and then tried to add it back in it could not see the VIDEOS folder at all anymore.

    I checked and at that time all the sharing permissions were correct for the WD. (The folder must be shared for Everyone with read/write permissions).

    I decided to remove the folder from the Windows Library. After doing that the original folder permissions were back at defaults. I had to reset them to Everyone and full control.

    Anyone care to guess what happened here?
    Does the Windows Library require certain sharing/permissions settings to work? And can you change them?

    :)

    no readable photos,.... after adding network folder to Sources

    The scanning of CIFS share never finished. I finally decided to kill it. It probably need to be indexed, but Windows 10 makes it nearly impossible to index a CIFS NAS share.

    I event tried to adding NAS share to Picture Library shared through homegroup, but Photo App refuses to allow adding a library. It only works on direct folders.

    This product is really pain to use.

    include in Library

    Adding a folder to a library doesn't cause the folder to be moved or otherwise changed. So if your folder is gone, it's not because you added it to a library.
