XMLTV file not found from network folder

[kingbuzzo]

I have NextPVR server running on a Win10 machine.  For EPG, I have a script that runs under a daemon on my QNAP NAS in a linux container that updates an xmltv file that is available on my local network.    NPVR is unable to read from this xmltv file from the network location.   In the logs the error is that the file isn't found.  I can confirm that the network location is correct.  Pasting directly into windows file explorer brings it right up.  I have also created a windows network mapped drive and passed on the local mapped drive letter with the same results.  This all smells very much like a permissions issue, but I can't see where it is getting hung up.  The NAS folder that the file is shared with is public on the network requiring no user authentication.  On top of that, I have additional credentials set in windows for a valid user for the NAS.

I know the xmltv file is valid.  When I copy it locally, NPVR reads it just fine.  

Any suggestions to point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

The simplest solution is to change the service and run as your user id.

That did the trick (although not consistently ie, using the mapped drive letter still fails).

Thanks Martin!

You can probably set the net use command in prestartup.bat if you want.
