Title: Connect to Media Server from Media Center 9.0
Post by: patrickcdalton on December 13, 2002, 01:09:02 pm

:(
I cannot figure out how to connect to Media Server
from within the new Media Center 9.0.
I just installed it. But the usual spot....

Tools > Media Server > Connect

Is no longer an option.......
It just goes to the media server to launch it locally....

Please advise... I need to connect to a media server
over the internet. I thought maybe the issue was that I had not purchased a new license to 9.0, but after purchasing the license and updating the registration, I still have no idea how to connect to a remote Media Server -- a function of MJ i use everyday.

Please tell me this feature has not been removed.

There's an answer to your post on the V8 board.

First a Media Center V9 client won't work with an MJ V8 server because the libraries are different.

If it's an MC server, then on the client you use the library manager to add a new library with a location like "m01p://servername:port"
