Why can't I play from shared library?
I have a Win 7 HP laptop and a Win 7 RC PC (will be a 7 HP machine once I get a MB and maybe HDD). I can see a video library from the PC on the laptop, and even play from it, but WMC won't pick up the videos to allow me to play them. There are probably over 200 GB of videos. Again, the laptop can see the shared library but WMC won't populate its menu with the video files. do I need to wait a while for it to index them? I waited about 10 minutes with nothing showing up except a message about troubleshooting connections to libraries.
I should say that I'm plugged in to my router with both machines, I spent $6 on a network cable for this purpose.
