I just tried this in MC15 because I was curious and it works for DVDs if you have the "Play Local File" option checked.  Make sure you import the DVD into the Library Server from the network drive/path even though it is local on your WHS PC.  I'm not in a position to test this in MC14.

Thanks Craig - Now that I have 15 going I am trying it there. Same problem. I do have the Play Local File option checked on both the WHS copy of MC and on the Client copy.

On the WHS copy of MC I have imported the whole library. It all shows. I can't play ripped DVD's there though. I don't believe that's a normal function of WHS. I get a Windows message that my system is not correctly configured for DVD playback. Have a hunch that's not related though to my problem of not playing from the Client. After all if I play DVD's from Drives and Devices on the Client all is okay.

Very interesting that yours works fine. And I imagine there are many people playing it.

Later I'm going to post this problem on the 15 Forum.

Thanks again,
Rod

Got it working. On MC on the Client at Drives and Devices when I had the WHS Video Share showing I had to Tick "Show Files in Subfolders" and then do an import. Really strange because the movies were all showing under 'Videos' - they just wouldn't play. Now they do.

So thanks again for your everyone's efforts on this. I have some more questions about Video playback but I'll post those in the 15 thread.
