It should work OK in most cases, but AFAIK there are some general problems with NAS. Most probably you need to access the files from windows explorer first, before they will be available for PVD.
(Sorry for hijacking the thread)
Is there any way to disable this "check for media availability" when selecting a movie? My problem is that I have my movies stored across 12 hard drives in my server box and PVD is waking up these drives when it checks to see if the media is online. This causes two problems: 1) There is a delay of several seconds within PVD as the hard drive wakes up, and 2) The whole point of having my drives go to sleep when not being used is compromised by PVD unnecessarily waking them up. I would like if I could have it access the media file only if I select "play".
Thanks...
