Hi,

I have around 600Gb of media in my WMP library and have set up media sharing. The other 2 laptops in my appartment can see the library (1 is a member of the same workgroup, the other is not), but neither can find any files in the remote library.

One laptop and my main tower are running Vista Ultimate SP1, the other laptop is running Home Premium SP1, all are x86.

I know that media sharing only works with monitored folders - I have my media on a 1TiB HDD mounted as a folder inside my profile.

The library on the main machine automatically picks up new files. Could the mount point be interferring with the sharing?

If not, any thoughts?

Thanks

I have recently added an Xbox 360 to my network and it picks up the media sharing just fine - so it can't be a problem with the mount point.

The laptops now pick up the shared music, but do not find any video files.

Is there a problem with the vista to vista media sharing for video?
Thanks
