Hi Craig,

Our WHS machine is the Library Server. Any idea what to add and where it goes? And wonder if this will also apply in V15? I guess DVDs are different than Audio and Images in this regard.

Thanks,
Rod

Thanks Jim, I will try it. Sure looking forward to .33

Below is what Yaobing said in another thread.  I guess you don't have to add paths to Library Server but you need an option set with mapped network paths (I haven't tried it so I don't know for sure).  I assume it is the same in MC15.

Craig - I tried "Play local file if one that matches Library Server file is found". Unfortunately it didn't work. But thanks for the efforts.

EDIT HERE: I POSTED THE BELOW ON THE MC 15 FORUM.

Jim - I installed MC 15.0.32 on both the WHS machine and on one client. Now I can't connect to the Server from the Client. Both machines still have MC14 installed but not running. I disabled the 14 Service on WHS and enabled the 15 Service. Under 'Services' confirmed that it has started. Also rebooted the server twice.

On the Client when I do File, Library, Search for Library Servers I get this after a short time: Failed to Find Local Media Server. I have also tried to use the old Server URL 192.168.1.103:81 that used to show when 14 was connected. I get the message: "MC Failed to load the library 'Connected Library' and will attempt to load the previously selected library".

I had been running the sever/client configuration successfully for several months. I could try going back to 14, but would sure like to find out what's keeping 15 from finding the server.

Anyone have any ideas? Should I post this in the 15 section?

Thanks,
Rod

Rod,

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.
