    Media Player 12 Not Sharing Stream / Homegroup Will Not Die


    Media Player 12 Not Sharing Stream

    Long story short I just want to connect my Windows Media Player/Center to my Xbox 360.

    I can't enable streaming from the Media Player. It wont show the button or option at all.
    I have also tried to open homegroup and turning on media sharing and it wont turn on. The button turns grey for a moment then it goes back to saying "Turn on media streaming".

    From the Windows Media Center I can get some kind of connectivity to the Xbox, but its very brief. Usually when I go to set up the extender it gets to building media library on the "Windows Media Center" then the "Xbox Windows Media Center" gives a failed to connect, retry or cancel.

    If I take a peek into the network from the explorer the media devices shows Xbox 360 Media Extender and it disappears within 3 seconds also another that says Xbox 360 which stays.

    I have tried going into services.msc and making sure UPnP, SSDP, Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service are enabled. I also disabled Windows Media Player/Center from the windows defaults to try and reinstall it.

    I want want to get homegroup back to this state.



    and not this



    Sorry for the pic sizes.

    I also cannot turn on streaming. When I press the turn on streaming button, Nothing happens. Does having indexing and libraries disabled have anything to do with this?
