Title: How to CONNECT to Media Center 9 Media Server
Post by: jantypas on January 21, 2003, 08:32:34 pm
OK, getting closer.  I can start Media Server on Media Center 9.  I can see the port is open.  How do I CONNECT from another Meida Center 9 to it?  Maybe I'm just dense today, but I can't find it....

Have a look under File=>Library. There you will find "Search For Media Servers"

OK, thanks for the info, we're almost there.  I found that, and it attempted to connect.  Once connected, how do I say PLAY from that server.  I can play files, but it still appears to go to local files.  Is it "web media"?

If it's connected, playing is the same as playing a local file.  If you are playing files and it is connected, they are coming from Media Server.

Make sure you aren't also running a local copy of Media Server.

Are you sure?  It used to be under tools.  It's under Files/Library now.

yes.

It was there last week

I wonder if it has something to do with me deleting the Server

m01//

or somthing like that under library

I don't remember what goes in there or how to get it back.

No..

Just not that important right now, I Guess.

If you cut and paste in a message what should be in there, i guess that would work too.

Not sure if my server works anyway, I have not tried it since all this was moved around. I do know when i pressed search for servers with the default string in there last week 9.0.100 MC crashed. thats why i removed it to see if it still did it. but forgot what went in there.

24.88.229.242:80

[edit by JimH -- you can enter this in IE as m01p://24.88.229.242:80 -- I tried it and it works.]

if anyone wan't to try it

Try this:
m01p://localservers_autofind

This area needs some cleanup.

OK, so long as I created such an active discussion, I got it to work, but I wondered how I'd request a *specific* server.  I see people are doing things like m01p://.  Do I open a URL with that?

From above...

you can enter this in IE as m01p://24.88.229.242:80 -- I tried it and it works
