Re: WPM11 Final - can't share files off network folders anymore? (

Yeah see the reply to your other message today, and see if that helps
any. Occupational hazard of using Beta software though ;-)

PS - can you still get the HD1000 ? I can't see it on Rokus site any
more...

Neil, you seem to be an expert on these things.

My Roku HD1000 worked perfectly with Windows XP. In Vista and with MWP11, I
get to a point where I see all artist/album/playlist folders, but they're all
apparently empty to the Roku. No music tracks show and can be played...

Any ideas here?

No, it didn't. I actually had been running this version until today (and
am running the new 2.7 beta now) - no cigar. Fwiw, this affects both my
two Soundbridges and the WMP11 on my laptop (which i just use to test).
None of em see any network files - so it can;t really be a client-side
problem.
Everything points to this being a problem with the source files on a
network share. My guess/fear is that someone went ahead and said "oh,
people are having trouble with network files, let's disable this
completely..."


OK, well all I can say is I've got the Roku running here in a 3 way
configuration - off iTunes6 shared library, off a WMP11 shared library
and off an NLSU Samba share on a network storage location.

So I'll have to assume it's somehow possible, though I'm still waiting
for my entire WMP library to catch up (it's not got all 9000 tracks in
yet)

Does Zach's suggestion help any ?
