Inside the settings panel you’ll notice that you can’t add network shares to the plug-in by default. There’s a way around this though.
Open up Windows Explorer and browse to “C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\MusicBrowser”.
Inside you should find a couple of folders and a MusicBrowser.config file. Open it up in Notepad and change the following line to look like so:
<InitialFolder>C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\MusicBrowser\VirtualFolder.vf</InitialFolder>
Next create a new text file in the same folder called “VirtualFolder.vf” and for each network share add “folder: //SHAREDLOCATION” on it’s own line. For example, “folder: \\MEDIACENTER-PC\Storage\My Music”.
