Hi,
I am setting up a Windows 2003 server to be the media server for all media in my house. Easy enough to get the PCs to pull media from it through file sharing, but I have Xbox 360s and an DirecTV HR20 that I want to share content with as well.
I downloaded and installed your product and am having two problems:
- The HR20 can see the server and see the content, but on the music list it just shows the songs with an X next to the title and a time of 0:00. Needless to say they don't play. What else do I need to do to get the HR20 to be able to play the songs? It seems to be able to see the pictures okay, but doesn't see any MPGs in the video folder I am sharing either.
- The XBOX 360s are connected to my media center PC, but now that the media is on the server they can't see it any more hence the need for Twonky. I want to continue to have the 360s connect to the Vista MC PC as it provides access to TV tuners, etc. But when I go into the music library or video library and tell it to add folders shared on OTHER computers it says there are no other computers sharing media on my network.... Any idea of what else I need to do to get the 360s to see the Twonky server's shared folders?
I have made sure that Twonkymedia and Twonkymediaserver are in the firewall exception list. I have also enabled client logging and tried to access the server. All I see are a number of lines of the form [ERROR]HTTP:Cannot receive header, clientSocket=332, nBytesReceived=0 where the client socket number changes...
Thanks for any help you can provide.
