Translated paths
In order to allow Etere Light Client to access network paths (e.g. \\172.16.134.100\lowres\), the following instructions must be performed:

❑Network paths must be configured in the MAC OS computer to be mounted at every startup in the related network drive (e.g. /Volumes/lowres/). To do this go to "System Preferences > Users & Groups > Your-Username > > Login Items" and drag & drop a mounted network drive into the login items list.

❑Network paths must be configured with proper translations in "Etere Configuration > Settings > Web > Media Folders",  entering MAC OS volumes correctly as they are case sensitive.
