Summary0020312: 'Media properties' does not allow to change 'Mapped drive' to 'UNC Path' (and vice versa)
DescriptionOriginates from 0020259 :

Media Properties should allow users to change:
a) Local drive to Local drive (this works)
b) Mapped drive to Mapped drive (this works)
c) Mapped drive to UNC Path (doesn't work)
d) UNC Path to UNC Path (doesn't work)
e) UNC Path to Mapped drive (doesn't work)
f) UNC Path to local drive (doesn't work)
g) Local drive to UNC Path (doesn't work)

Media Properties is the easiest method of doing this switching (and users do complain UNC Paths can't be don this way).
TagsNo tags attached.
Fixed in build

I think that fixing 0005548 would at least for c), e) will not be needed as Mapped Drive letter would be Auto Assigned when read.

I guess something similar to how MM currently handle if Files are both local and also on cloud eg. paired.

Re d): UNC -> UNC is very useful as DHCP can assign different IP to Network Share Device or NETBIOS do not get available so even \\testnas\, \\109.168.1.230\ and \\192.168.1.235\ are same device We can't easily assign it. TEST NOTE: Often after setting Manual Static Local IP Router DNS/NetBIOS cache can't resolve server name (Known Master browser issue), but you can access it over direct IP.

For the UNC > UNC mapping SQL like this should work:
UPDATE Songs SET SongPath = REPLACE(SongPath, '\\NAS1', '\\NAS2') WHERE SongPath LIKE '\\NAS1%'

..but then upon trying to expand Location node MM5 is doing some further massive SQL procesing related to the SongPath change (from the new SongPath it needs to re-construct also the folders hierarchy in further tables like Folders and FoldersHier)
so unfortunatelly it is not an easy task to mass update SongPath..

To make it an easy task we would need to get the \\NAS1\ prefix out of the Songs.SongPath (to the Medias table)
and this would be part of 5.1 => 5.2 DB upgrade
