media sharing

Hello Everyone, I've been a long time browser of this forum and finally got a problem worthy of your help. Anyways, I'm trying to setup a Windows 7 network sharing. But the main problem is when I go to explorer and network, I can see all the host names of my computer in my home group...

I previously owned a XP Media Center PC and a XP Pro laptop. I had them networked on a wireless N network, which also included my Xbox 360. I never had any issue transferring files between the PC and Laptop or streaming videos/music to my 360. Fast forward. I now have a new PC and a...

I have identified a major security issue with sharing when sharing to a PS3. Setup: I have no homegroup set up. I am using a work network. I am allowing my libraries to be shared to my PS3. In order to share music, videos, and pictures to my PS3, I must simply add them to a library and they...

Recently my computer has been freezing or locking up to where everything cant be moved and i have to hard shutdown or press the reset button. This only happens when i am media sharing with my xbox 360 and ps3. I dont run media center for it i only share my folders with windows media player for...

Apologies for this, as I know this has probably been covered multiple times. I have read everywhere, but cannot get this to work. Here's the set up: I have a WD MyBook connected to my new Win7 notebook. I right clicked on the drive and selected advanced sharing. I called the shared name...

Hi everyone. I have all my music and such on my desktop computer running Windows Vista, and I just bought a laptop running Windows 7 where I want to stream my files to. When I first set up my laptop i could stream from the Vista computer to the 7 computer, but it is not detected in wmp anymore...

Hello all, I'm running Windows7 Ultimate RTM build 7600 - Assigned to Homegroup I've looked through about as much of these threads as I can today, so hopefully this isn't a double post. I'm trying to share my media to my xbox360 via my wifi network at home. Problem I've been having is...

Okay I have three computers all running Windows 7 and WMP 12. I followed all the steps in the documentation to configure sharing and streaming, both in Windows and WMP, on all three computers. I can access everything I've shared on any of the computers, and WMP shows my other computers media...

I like to stream my music to my xbox360 just through the normal xbox interface. I hate going into media center so I usually just enable media sharing. But ever since I jumped onto the RTM build of windows 7 (previously BETA) all my sharing options are grayed out, can't select anything. I jump...

I'm looking to do a little media distribution in my house and believe the Windows 7 will give me the ability to do what I want, but I'm not sure whether I want to use media center or media player or some combo of the two. Here's what I want to do. I have my media sitting on a windows home...

I know what to do on the console side, but with WMP12, the method I used to use with WMP11 doesn't work...

I haven't had luck with streaming recorded tv over the internet :( I've searched these forums (and others) with no luck. Both machines are running the RC (build 7100) and both have been secured using my windows live id. I even installed a codec pack on the laptop and I was able to play one...

Okay, I've done a lot of searching and can find almost no info regarding this... hopefully someone may have an idea. My Windows 7 machine has streamed music to my 360 flawlessly through the Xbox dashboard since day one... Now, out of the blue, my xbox constantly loses connectivity with my PC...

I have a Homegroup configured on my Windows 7 install and I've got music, movies and images that I share across the different computers in my house and the other user accounts on the PC. I've got MKV files (soccer matches mostly) that I've converted to be played on the PS3 and I'm wondering if...

So, my little brother got tired of his inferior machine and gave it to me. After upgrading the HDD to a 320GB 5400 RPM WD Scorpio Blue, i also gave it a total of 2GB DDR RAM, and decided i liked Windows 7 so much, i wanted to dual boot, so that i may keep OSX (for clients) and still work this is...

Windows libraries are cool because if you have your PS3 connected you share you media files and watch them on your tv or listen to them thru your suround sound... only problem is I have my Windows 7 installed on 80 gig hard drive that I had planed on only using for operating system and important...

Hey everyone, I'm on the verge of tears over this! I recently installed 7 (x64) RC on my desktop which I had been using, among other things, to stream movies, music etc. to my XBox 360. Since installing 7 I've had no joy getting the XBox to even acknowledge the existence of the PC, either...

I was going to print something from my 7 test rig, and found I cannot access my printers on my network. My network is all XP machine's, and though I can find the homegroup for 7 on here, I cannot access it. I cannot find any XP rigs through the 7 machine, although all of the XP rigs have...

Has anyone had any luck with this using the xbox dashboard? I had no problems doing this using vista/media player11 but have not been able to get it to work since installing windows 7. I set up media sharing on my home network and configured media player 12 for my folders. It finds my folder...
