Sharing Issues - WMP12 and PS3
Ok.
So it has been an extraordinarily rocky road to get sharing up and running with my PS3 since I moved to Windows 7 / WMP12. Heres a brief synopsis:
Couldn't share at all. Went in, set media streaming to allow to all devices. Some files showed up on PS3, counted partial success.
Removed all folders from WMP12 Libraries and rebuilt libraries with folders I wanted to show up. Also went in and had shared the folders to all users on the network with read permission, made sure that the WMPservice had read permission in security on those folders too. At this point, all my videos showed up exactly as i expected them to. I could browse by playlists, folders, or the various catergories. Music refuses to show up, all the playlists show up, but not the music itself. Can still play music by creating playlists on the pc then running them from the PS3.
Went in, created music playlist for 3 folders, plays fine. Hour later, came back, created another playlist, this playlist does not show up at all on the PS3, even if i navigate to the folder that the playlist is in. Every other playlist shows up, just not this most recent one. Clear all libraries, rebuild, wait 2 hours, playlist suddenly shows up.
Check every Windows Firewall setting for UPNP streaming, and everything is allowed. Removed myself from the homegroup, in case that was stopping things, made sure everything was still shared. Still no dice. Playlists, but no folder, album, artist, or catergory views for my music.
I'm pulling my hair out here. I've put in almost 12 hours now on this problem, 12 man/working hours, spread across a week, and I cannot get my bloody files to show up on the PS3. Everything worked fine and kosher on XP SP3 with WMP 11. No issues, no problems, none of these headaches or hurdles.
I was hoping, if I got selected for a House Party, to show off how easy it was to stream files using windows 7 to devices in your home and now I'm gnashing my teeth over it.
