Hey utopian,

I haven't tried this setup specifically, but my thought is that this is a probably a permissions issue. By default, the Jamcast service "logs in" to Windows as the builtin Localsystem account, which by design doesn't have access to alot of stuff, possibly including the Hamachi remote folder.

My recommendation is to change the service login user for the Jamcast service. Open the Services control panel and edit the Jamcast service. Set the Log On user account to be your own Windows account, or the same Windows account that runs the Hamachi services, and preferably a member of Administrators.

Restart the Jamcast service after this change and observe the Sharing/My Music tab to see if Jamcast is picking up the remote files.

Hope this helps. Let me know how you end up!

Thanks!
