Is there a way to have MceBuddy monitor 2 different networked locations? I have it watching on on a NAS and that works where it stores the username and password. It is also monitoring a directory on my NVIDIA Shield TV where I store plex recordings. I am only using it to monitor and compress the files. The problem is the authentication is different. It looks like mcebuddy can store only one set of username and passwords.

Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

MCEBuddy will prompt for credentials for each network location.

Create 2 monitor locations, make sure the path in each starts with `\\` and it’ll prompt you for credentials for each location. Don’t use mapped drives (see Common Issues FAQ)

That worked. Thank you. I did look at the one FAQ page I must have missed it.
