Oh! That makes sense now, I thought it was a new UPnP device I hadn't heard of :)


Do you have conversion turned on (check the library settings on the laptop)...

If you are converting on the fly, seeking isn't going to work.

Sorry, but I don't watch TV (the TV in my house is hooked up to the DVD player, but has no antenna, cable or satellite hooked up :)

Plenty of others here do though...

sounds good thanx for the help! one last question i've always wondered about media center.. why when you convert songs, do they all become unplayable until you go to file  restore library.. is that normal? i been w\ media center since version 10 and since then everytime i convert my songs in my playlist (which are ape) to mp3 or wave, after its done converting the song a red X appears on that song and it becomes unplayable until a library restore..seeems strange!

Definitely not normal. Check your naming conventions? If not start a new thread with an appropriate topic...

If you have questions on TV, go to Media Center's TV board (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?board=11.0) and post your questions there.
