Files on a server

hi, i'm new to this forum. i downloaded the BRU to assist with renaming my files so that Boxee will recognize them. I've run into a small problem - when i open up BRU it will let me search for files that are on my computer, but not on my network. since everything is stored on a server, this is a problem since it doesn't make sense to transfer everything to my desktop, run BRU and then transfer it all back to the server.

i was hoping that somebody might have a simple suggestion for me? i'm not very familiar with running software directly on the windows server, so would rather not go down that path if possible.

thanks,
dm

oops, i answered my own question - didn't realize i could drop and drag into BRU. works like a charm.

Hi, listen, don't put yourself down. I came on here for the first time looking for the little nugget of wisdom you just shared. I have precisely the same problem as you, and now know how to fix it. :D

Alternatively you could map the network path to a drive letter and use that letter in BRU:
