RE: sharing files from my removable HD to xbox360

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi again Sherm,

One other thing, I'm told that if the ratings for the content is not 2
stars or greater, then the content also won't be shared.

So please check the Monitored Folders... and the ratings on this content.

Hi Sherm,

I'll let the developer who owns Media Sharing know about the problem you're
having and see what results from it.

hey mike

thanks for the reply

see i did that. now when i click on library then folders, three come up. my
music, shared which are both on c\ then the third is my music folder form the
removable drive. i know WMP see's it but my xbox is only reading the music
from the 1st two folders. it's making me think im not doing something right
but it dosent give me alot of options on the media share. i use to have just
windows media connect and never had any problems with that.

Hi Sherm,

While WMP 11 is running, if you click the F3 button, you'll bring up a
search dialog. There's an advanced options portion that allows you to add
other locations on your computer to the Media Library.

Once you've added the content of that removable drive, you should be able to
let your XBOX 360 access the content via the Media Sharing option in WMP 11.

so i have WMP11 and from what im finding the only way i can share my files is
through the my media and shared folder. thing is all my music is on a USB
removable drive. Is there a way i can get it to share those too without
having to make a second set of the songs into the shared folder? there's no
reason for me to have all my songs on both drives so i dont want to have to
go that route. any help will be greatly appreciated.
