Mapped Network Drive with WMP12 and XBOX360
Basically I have shared drives on a windows 2008 Server that I need my windows 7 workstation to be able to share to my Xbox 360 through wmp12.
I've followed this guide:
Sharing your media
This did little to nothing, despite giving rights and setting the network service to sign in using an account that can access the remote shares.
I ended up making a syslinked folder and using mklink /d shared created links to my mapped network drives.
they now show up in media player, and the folder is also setup to be indexed. The xbox can even browse the remote folders now and see all the files. However when I choose a file the xbox says the file is incompatible. These are WMV files which had no problem playing and are fully compatible.
What am I doing wrong here?
P.S. Microsoft not allowing server 2008 to stream to upnp devices is the stupidest thing I've seen... Windows Home Server can but the high end server 2008 cant? then client systems cant share the remote folders on the server!? wtf, does microsoft do no testing!?
