I am sure I am missing something obvious...
Firstly the setup
TV machine has MC (172) and has all of the hardrives with the music and movies.  Connected wireless g network.  All views and movie covers looking good and it is the most used machine.

Second machine is laptop running XP in child's room.  Also running MC.

How do I play movies on the second machine without having to produce a second library (don't want burden of setting?  If i use library server it has to down load before starting.  This is far too slow on wireless network. 

If I use DLNA the views are lost for the movies (looks fine for music though??).  It is odd that the views I have asked to be available under Video aren't visible within MC, nor for that matter Webplay.  However I do seem to be able to stream some files.

There must be a way to stream music from one MC to another (surely???).  Have I got something set up incorrect?  Can't I have the advantages of connecting to the library with all my views, etc but still be able to stream? 

Thanks
Craig
