Hello,
I'm trying to set up my OBS to record to a network location, which is a NAS server using Samba, added as a network location in Windows 11.
When I try to select the location when choosing recording path, I get the following error: "data (homeserver.lan) The folder name is not valid".

I'm running OBS 28.0.1 28.1.2 on Windows 11 Pro build 22621.

I'm launching OBS as an administrator. I have already verified that the registry EnableLinkedConnections is set to 1 as per this guide. I can otherwise access the network location with file explorer normally.

Is there any way around this issue?

Thank you!

Edit: Updated to OBS 28.1.2, issue is still present.
