No Network Drive in Media Browser

We have a server that runs to both Macs and PCs in our studio, the PCs having been just installed. When cutting on a Mac, we can see our server in the Media Browser and reconnect unlinked footage when necessary. However, on the PCs, we can not see the server in Media Browser and any files offline can not be found/reconnected via Media Browser.  Any ideas on this issue? Being primarily a Mac user, I have a feeling this is a simple fix that I'm missing, but can't figure out. Thank you! FYI we are working off CC with latest updates.
EDIT: Let me add that we can edit with footage off the server bringing it in from Explorer.

We are ok on the Mac side, it's the PCs with the issue. We can connect to the server fine via explorer but it won't show up in the Media Browser in PP. The server is Linux based if that has any bearing...

  • External hard drive not accessible in media browser!

    It's not a RAID or anything out of the ordinary. Just a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) drive. Media browser will not let me click on the drive to see the media and it doesn't actually show up under Local Drive. I have permission to read and write to the drive. Help please, it's getting maddening!

    Is that a Case sensitive hard drive?

  • RAID is missing in Media Browser

    RAID is missing from the Media Browser. I can see the RAID icon (AM VIDEO) in the bin but can see it in the file directory. Double clicking on the icon doesn't open the RAID. My work around is to place an alias of a directory needed from the RAID on the desktop.
    RAID is an OWC Mercury Rack Pro and it's visible and fully functional in the finder. Problem occurs in CC and CC14
    Mac Pro 5,1, 10.9.3

    I've just had it happen too. A brand new OWC RAID 1 drive (less than a week old) has suddenly, under Pr 2014, lost the ability to see this drive.  When it arrived I formatted it with Apple's Disk Utility. Adobe Premiere has been working fine until this version. Now Premiere cannot see this drive in media browser, while the Finder can, and DU reports no problems, and neither does Disk Warrier. The drive seems fine. But Adobe can't see it.
    Given the variety of people discussing this, here and on other boards, I'm thinking that there is a bug with Media Browser. I now have to *reformat* my drive, which means hours of moving files off to another drive and back on. If this is a bug, we need to know what's happening! I will be *very* unwilling to upgrade to the next version of Adobe software given this situation!

  • Premiere CC media browser too slow

    Hi guys,
    I'm having some problems to read RED files on media browser on CC.  It's too slow.  I ran some quick tests here.  In CS6, create a new project and chose a drive in media browser. It read the files in 21 seconds.  In CC, create a new project and chose the same drive in media browser. It read the files in 1 minute and 40 seconds.  I really enjoy editing in CC but this issue is killing me.  Does anyone have a clue?

    Hello VaughnByrd21,
    It's taking a half an hour to render 5 minute clips and over an hour to export them...sometimes an hour and a half.
    Can you post a screenshot of your export settings dialog box?
    ...it seems like Adobe has put us on the back shelf, and continues to crank out software that we desperately need but that won't run on a professional level on our systems.
    Have you adjusted the permissions of your Adobe folders? Updating OS X can change them randomly: Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later)
    NVIDIA drivers are not doing very well lately either with CUDA and Mac OS X Yosemite. For sure, switch both Premiere Pro and AME to OpenCL mode until they fix those drivers.
    These issues have more to do with OS X and NVIDIA drivers, nothing to do with Adobe applications—so it's not always our fault when things go wrong.
    You should also try deleting your media cache, which you can find in Preferences > Media (click the Browse button). That fixes a lot of issues.
    Please also consider trashing preferences and repairing disk permissions.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • Delay when opening QT files on network drives

    This is on Windows XP, QuickTime 7 Pro...
    When I try to open any QuickTime-associated file, if that file's on a network drive, there's a delay of at least 30 seconds before the QT player opens and is ready to play the file (during the delay, there's little or no apparent network or disk activity).
    It's not caused by a slow network, because when I open AVI or WMV files of similar sizes on the same network drive, Windows Media Player opens and starts to play them within a second or two.
    It's not caused by my anti-virus software, because the same thing happens even if I've disabled the anti-virus software.
    It's also not a general QuickTime problem because if I copy the file to my local drive and then open that copy, the QT player opens right away.
    It does seem to be related to the underlying QuickTime system (rather than the higher level player), because the delay also happens if I assign Real Player to open MOV files instead of the QT player. The only difference is that instead of NOTHING happening for 30 seconds, the Real Player window opens immediately but doesn't show any video and is unresponsive until the file starts playing 30+ seconds later.
    I went into the QT control panel and fiddled with the streaming and advanced settings, but nothing seems to help.
    Is this a known problem and if so what's the solution?

    I use a 10/100 ethernet network and notice a slight difference (but not 30 seconds) as compared to "local" files. The same happens with nearly any other file format.
    On internal HD's on the network (Mac and PC) I get the slight delay. A Firewire drive on the same network seems to be about normal.
    Try this:
    Set the QuickTime "cache" (QT Control Panel/Advanced tab) large enough to keep a copy.
    Use your current method to open the QT file (waiting if needed).
    Use the QuickTime "Favorites" menu to "bookmark" the file.
    Quit and relaunch QuickTime and try opening from the Favorites menu.
    Quicker?
    Empty the QT "cache" and try from the Favorites menu again.

  • Openmeta (xattr) - Network Drives

    Hello Friends,
    Background:
    I have 3 Passport WD HDD (1 TB each) connected to an Apple Extreme via a powered USB hub. All 3 HDDs are in 'Mac OS Extended' file system. I am using one of the HDDs as TimeMachine (sparcebundle) for 2 MacBook Pros. Everything is functional regarding the setup.
    I have many files & folders in the other 2 drives. I am currently trying to use Tags/Tagit softwares that are based on OpenMeta (extended attributes).
    Issue:
    The issue is that it works very well with the files that are local to the machine, but when I tag a file located in one of the network drives, spotlight/Tag Browser/Finder is unable to find it.
    Related Info:
    - Network Drives are set to index files by spotlight.
    - Tagged a file located on the network drive and used the cmd 'xattr -l /path/to/file'. No extended attributes were reported. Same with Spotlight DB 'mdls /path/to/file'
    - Copied the same file to local drive and same cmd showed all metatags that I associated with the file.
    How can I make Openmeta work with the network drives!
    - Thanks in advance!

    Spotlight apparently will not index a network drive, even if commanded to do so. See this thread:
    [Using Spotlight to search USB drive connected to Airport Extreme base stati|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2765115]
    For more details, take a look at this 2008 thread:
    [Spotlight - index network drives / folders?|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1573997]
    A poster there wrote to Apple about Spotlight's inability to index network drives in Leopard, given that one could do this with Tiger. He reported getting the following e-mail response from Apple:
    "We intentionally turned this off for Leopard 'cause it was a problem that lots of people would enable indexing on public AFP volumes and swamp the servers.
    On Leopard we only allow local indexing of network locations via Network Homes and more recently (SL) PodCast Producer has some special SPI.
    Remote indexing via Server Side Search is also a Leopard feature.
    The AFP server needs to be running Leopard for indexing to occur. Leopard supports server-side indexing."

  • How do I get network drives to show in left panel of media browser

    Okay, I'm new to audition.  When I start Audition's media browser, only the local HDD's are shown.  If I OPEN FILE, I can navigate to find tyhe network drive and Audition will open the file.  Also the network drives show in Windows Explorer.  I searched the FAQs and the help file, but maybe I'm not using the "magic words"  So, how to I get these network drives to appear?

    Thank you

    I'm not sure this is correct.  I have mapped a NAS to drive "Z" and mapped a drive on my video editing desktop to drive "Y."  These both show up in the left panel of the media browser for Premiere and Photoshop as the share names  "MYDOCS" and "BAAAA,"  as well as in Windows Explorer.  But not in Audition. Only the local drives are shown in Audition's media browser.
    I can open a file in audition by using BROWSE by clicking on "MYDOCS" or "BAAAA" as they appear in the Windows Explorer file dialong and then navigating on those drives to the desired files.
    What am I missing?  Do others have their network drives show in the left panel of Audition's media browser?

  • ITunes & iPhoto on external drive not showing in Media Browser

    I moved my iTunes and iPhoto libraries to a NAS device on separate hard drives.  Independently they work and I can access them through their respective programs, HOWEVER, when I want to use them in Keynote, Pages, iMovie, etc. they don't show up in the media browser.  I have a couple of questions...
    1. Will the media browser work with these libraries on external sources?
    2. Do I need to set up some sort of alias on my Mac HD to point the media browser to those libraries?
    3. If so...how?
    Hoping someone has the answer, or at least can point me in the right direction...

    I am not sure if they will work off a NAS, but I don't see why not. (But iMovie Events will not work off a NAS)
    See this post and focus in on the part about trashing the iApps plist. I would try to trash it and then open up iPhoto and iTunes to repopuplate it. Then try to see if the Media Browser works in iMovie. You should not need to trash the iMovie plist, but it would do no harm if you did.

  • Can an iTunes Media folder be on a LAN network drive?

    That is, remote from the Mac on which the library is managed, but (obviously) on the same LAN.
    When "Copy files to iTunes Media folder" is set, and I import a CD via the managing mac, will the files land up on the network drive or into the iTunes folder on the managing Mac?

    By organizing it should both relocate all current media as well as start using the new location from that point on.  You're mostly okay there.  Where you are not okay is iTunes doesn't look at your files directly.  It only really looks at one single file, the iTunes Library.itl file which tells it where everything is located.  You need to get both copies of iTunes using the same complete library (media + library file).  The way you do that is using the option start method.  You should only need to do that once unless for some reason the library storage drive is disconnected when starting iTunes, in which case iTunes will use the default location and you will need to option start again.

    iTunes 9 [and later]: Understanding iTunes Media Organization - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3847
    By the way, both copies of iTunes will have to be the same version or the library will become unreadable to the older iTunes.
    There are variants to the above but I am not going to type in all the possibilities unless you say something that tells me you need a different structure.

  • ITunes Media folder organization on a network drive

    I have a problem with a strange behaviour of iTunes media folder organization on my network drive.
    Option "keep iTunes Media folder organized" is enabled.
    If the Media folder is on a local drive or the Media folder is replaced by an alias pointing to a folder on an external drive it works correctly.
    (Correctly means subfolders like "music" are generated by iTunes.)
    But if the Media folder is an alias that points to a networkdrive directly (instead of pointing to a folder in that drive) iTunes does not create the subfolders anymore.
    What is the reason for that behaviour, how can it be fixed?

    Thanks for the feedback, but with the iPhone (I use the calendar feature a lot), synchronising just became a very common event, and perpetual re-connecting will drive me insane.
    I guess I will just live with what we have until the folks at Apple figure it out;

  • ITunes media folder on network drive

    Hi Everyone,
    My plan is to store my media files in a folder on a network drive, and then have itunes pull from that network directory to located media.  On two of my machines, I changed the media folder to the directory on the network drive.  I had itunes consolodate the files, and copy all the files from each machine onto the network directy.  At this point, I was expecting to see all media files from both computers in each itunes library, however, this is not the case.  Instead, only the files that were originally stored on their respective machines are displayed in each library, as opposed to one library showing all files now on the one network directory.  Is there a way to have itunes refresh itself so that it can see the files in the network directory that I have designated as the media folder?  Thanks in advance.

    Was the library database stored or backed up to the networked drive? If so you can hold down shift as you start iTunes to reconnect to the database, otherwise you'll have to rebuild the library with the content.
    See How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one.
    For the future see this backup User Tip.

  • Client can map a network drive but programs can't browse to it

    Greetings.  I have Windows Server 2012 Essentials and this problem has come and gone and come back again but I'm not sure what the solution is:
    I have shares on the server. 
    The client (Windows 8.1) can open the shared folder as a "Mapped Network Drive".  Explorer can open it, browse, modify.  However, Quickbooks can't browse to the drive on the client.  It does not "see" it. Neither can Firefox.
    This is on more than one client.  What I did on the client is added the folder as a "Network location" and this does allow the programs to see the share.  But I would like to know how to make mapped network drives stable and reliable.  If
    anyone has any insights, please let me know.  Thanks. 
    Felix

    Hi Felix,
    Please navigate to the Network location and select this map network drive. Right click it and select Properties.
    In Properties panel, please select Security tab and check if you assign related permission correctly.
    Based on your description, I understand this issue just occurred in those third-party applications (such as
    QuickBooks and so on). So, I find following solution in the QuickBooks website. Please check if can help you to solve this issue.
    QuickBooks does not recognized the mapped
    network drive

  • RAID DRIVE WON'T WORK IN LINK MEDIA BROWSER

    I have a RAID 5 drive connected to my MACPRO (MacPro5,1), OSX 10.9.2. Its working fine on OS. In Premiere Pro CC I can import files from it no problem, everything seems to be fine until I try to link media from it. The link media browser won't access it. I can see it, I can see the RAID drives icon, but it won't access the files.
    In the link media browser it won't show on the Local Drives list on the left pane. When I double click on local drives, on the right pane I can see the RAID HD icon, but when I click on it it won't open it. It knows its there but can't access it. I don't get it. I can import files from it, etc, but not link files. I would have to redo the whole sequence with files from that RAID drive and its days of work.
    I would appreciate enormously any help with this issue.

    RAID 0
    Thunderbolt.
    No adapters or daisy chaining going on.
    The RAID is new and only has about 700GB of data on it.
    I read on Creative Cow that alexojedav522 was able to figure out that the size of the drive was his issue:
    https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/954245
    After reading that I tried repartitioning my RAID into two sections of 2tb each (let's call them Partition1 and Partition2).
    So Partition1 is just the original partition (which was 4TB) shrunken down to 2TB.
    Partition2 is the brand new partition.
    Oddly enough, I can access Partition2 via Media Browser just fine.
    And when I move media onto it I can relink it as well).
    But Partition1 is still not accessible via Premiere at all.
    I am currently moving everything off of Partition1 and onto Partition2, so that I can at least relink my project and get to work.
    But obviously that isn't a permanent solution.

  • Media browser in Premiere CS 6 doesn't display list of hard drives!

    My media browser in Premiere CS 6 doesn't display list of hard drives. There is no dropdown of folders or anything to select the media from. Any suggestions as to why this is happening and how I can correct this?

    If Premiere is acting weird try this:
    Start Premiere with holding down shift+alt until welcome screen.
    See if that will help.

  • HT5633 Do you have to have i-Tunes running to use Apple TV?  Coul dyou access your media on a network drive?

    I wonder if there is a way to access your media collection (music, TV, movies, etc,) directly from a network drive rather than via i-Tunes?  Thanks!  Jerry Michels

    OK, thanks.  I am using home sharing.  I wonder about using Airplay.  I have a 3TB Seagate network drive.  Would there be a way to enable it?
    One more unrelated question perhaps you or someone else could answer.  I ahve a current problem where Apple TV keeps asking for my Apple ID and Password.  It accepts the ID, but will not accept the Password even though i-Tunes, my i-Phones, and an i-Pad do.  Very frustrating!!!
    Thanks again.
