   You will never get it to work properly on a network drive. The CSS
descrambling process requires authentication operations on the drive
that are not available through the Window network device scheme.

   To authenticate on the drive, try to run play_title.exe once on the
remote box, and maybe the remote box will be able to do it.

   What are those extra \\.\ for? Use "play_title.exe e: 1 1 1" directly.

   Each time you will see "using libc for access" it will mean that
libdvdcss does not recognize its target like a drive but like a file,
and it will fail.
