Question

Hi Guys, 

 

I am having a very strange issue with my DrivePool setup. I have DrivePool installed on a media box running Windows 8, 64 bit. DrivePool version: 2.0.0.320.

 

There are four 2TB disks in the pool. On it, i have a number of share folders, that i use to stream media from over the network. 

 

I can open the files on the local media box, but when accessing these shared files from another computer on the network, I am unable to execute any files, regardless of the file type. It will open the application, but nothing will happen. Ie. If i open a video in VLC, it won't play. If i open a notepad file, it will come up empty. 

 

It is not a permission issue, as i can browse the folders, and even edit the names of them. If i copy one of the files over the network to the local PC, it copies in about a second, no matter what size, and will not open locally either, same issue. 

 

I can access shared folders that are created on hard drives that are not part of the drive pool without any issues. 

 

I'm at a loss as to what the problem is.. Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

Um... antivirus/firewall settings?

 

What size does Windows report for the files that have been copied across but still won't open locally?

Sorry i should have mentioned that i checked that, but i don't have any antivirus or firewall settings on any of my computers. 

 

The file size is reported as being correct - the same as on the media box.

Does the same thing happen if you (Push) copy a file from the Windows 8 media machine to another local client?  (instead of pulling thru the network)

 

Is this a new problem or always been this way?

When I push a file from the media computer to another one, it opens up fine locally. 

 

I believe the issue with copying files has been happening for a long time, but I was still able to stream media via the network until just recently. 

 

I have now removed all of the drives from the drive pool, re-installed StableBit, formatted all drives, and created a new drive pool. Still having the same issue.
