This is not how I planned to spend my Friday. Here is where I am at.
Did a fresh Windows 10 install. Why? Because issues. So that took it's sweet time.
Caught up to installing JF 10.10.7 directly doanloaded from the site. I run the installer as admin, select to install as service and to use the Network Service. This instalation works. JF service begins running after install. But there is not Start Menu entry for the JF tray and no tray appears in the task bar. So the only way I can see JF is running is through Windows Service and the only way to access the running server is having Chrome remember the LocalHost URL.
So I get into a brand new JF server and for testing get right to addding a source, add a Movies library and enter the network share for the folder and.... cannot find the network folder.
Tried for a number of folders and for TV shows as well. Nothing.
Then tried copying the backup JF ProgramData from my previous iteration. JF did start but wouldn't load to the local host or even the direct IP. Then it seemed to stop running.
So it's nearly 5am and I have no working JF server and my eyes hurt and I'm going to bed. And still having the stupid Windows issue of this computer not showing on the network despite doing all the tricks I've found to get it to. It is accessibly by typing in the address location but it doesn't show up by default in the network section of explorer.
And I have no more easter chocolate to eat either.
