Title: Getting network video files visible
Post by: Minotaur on August 17, 2007, 07:00:26 pm

Howdy
I've been trying for hours to get shared files visible from my LMC machine - i've added the right devices/shares as per instructions in other posts, but nothing appears under Media|Videos. I have no idea where i'm going wrong.

For the shares to be auto detected you must connect the PC with shared on the Internal Network of the LMCE Core.
The PC must have dhcp enabled.
Check in Web Admin -> Advanced -> Configuration -> Unknown Devices if the PC mac address is there, then unlock it and do a Quick Reload Router

Having the Windows PC on DHCP is not an option as I have port forwarding active to it. What else can I do? I don't see why it should be this difficult to set up.
