1. Bringing up what would be a display of video file thumbnails results in the server trying to transfer all of the entire video files themselves to the remote PC. This makes it impossible to play any video files from within a group of files (i.e. from the group of all video files) on the server using a remote PC because the transfers would take forever to complete for all the files. Shouldn't the thumbnail image be created/pulled by Media Server and only that smaller image sent to the Remote PC? From the Media Server log, Media Server seems to do the same thing with picture files (although I may be reading the log incorrectly), which isn't great, but in that case at least the transfers can actually be completed.
2. Attempting to play a single MPEG video file, i.e. from a group of one, results in three successive "Error" dialogs saying "DirectShow: Interface not registered" followed by a "Warning" dialog saying "Media Center encountered errors while trying to play the last several files. Make sure that the path in the Media Jukebox library points to the right location."
3. Attempting to play a single AVI video file, i.e. from a group of one, results in three successive "Error" dialogs saying "DirectShow: Interface not registered" followed by a "Warning" dialog saying "Media Center encountered errors while trying to play the last several files. Make sure that the path in the Media Jukebox library points to the right location."
4. Attempting to play a single quicktime file using a remote PC results in repeated attempts to read the quicktime file from Media Server (as evidenced by activity reported in the Media Server window) but the file never plays. Here is a sample of a portion of the log from Media Server:
