Meta data is stored on the Windows server in a shared folder and C4 Network File Shares driver points to it. 

I have tried infuse and Zappiti in theater room for a while, I like both but I really like having the in wall c4 panel and iPad option to select movies from vs on TV screen.  I had an original HP Home server that served me for many years and at this point it was easier for me to stay with My Movies and figure out how to redeploy it on a new server than tackle a new setup for serving up movies on all the TVs.

I have a large unifi stack with C4 throughout the house working almost flawlessly for 10 years with the exception of a similar issue that popped up a few years back due a packet storm from my Sonos.  Two Sonos controllers were plugged in via ethernet to different switches in different parts of the house... When I finally figured it out I just disconnected one of the controllers from the switch and everything worked again.  It was hard to track down as I think the unifi controller would shut off one of the sonos ports on the switch when it caused packet storm so it would come and go.  When it acted up I would loose control of the lights and tv etc. Wife would go nuts..

I've seen lots of posts on Network File Shares driver not working with newer Windows versions.   I just ran into same but got it working.   

My Home server 2011 died that was hosting my movies collection management.  So after setting up Server 2022 and adding the Essentials install from 2016 I was able to get My Movies app installed and working but not the network file share.  After messing around for some time I found the option to turn smb1 under add roles and features and selecting all the smb1 option boxes. See image below. Then quick reboot and the network share instantly connected.  My Movies was able to save the meta data to the share and fired right up in navigator.  Tomorrow I'll add my music share back.  Just wanted to let everyone know Server 2022 works well with SMB Network File Shares driver in Control4 and I'd assume Server 2019 and 2016 probably do as well.

Indent fixed it.  Thanks!

Hello all, trying to program a color button to toggle from hdmi 1 to hdmi 2 and back to hdmi 1 when pressed again.  I can program a delay to work but not a toggle.  The follow doen't work but if I substitute a "Delay 5 second" for the "Stop" command that works. Maybe I need variables?

When command "Blue Butotn" is received

   ? If the current input is = HDMI 1

      Set input to HDMI 2 on the Family Room>Samsung TV

  Stop

  ? If the current input is = HDMI 2

     Set input to HDMI 1 on the Family Room>Samsung TV

Is the Mymovies driver still needed? I'm on 2.9 currently and have been running mymoives on my server connected to the mymovies driver for years.
