I recently purchased a WDTV Live. I am running Windows 7 on my home PC. It is all hard wired with gigabit ethernet and switches. The WDTV Live connects to the network and internet just fine. However, I cannot figure out how to stream my movie and tv collection to the WDTV. I have shared the folders according to the manual and allowed access to everyone with read and write permissions. I set my network location to “Work”. My typical folder structure is below:
HTPC1/Movies/Movie Name(Year)/Movie Name.mkv (other metadata and banners and such are also here)
HTPC1/TV Series/TVName/Season1/TVName - 1x01 - Pilot
My first issue which is hit or miss is the fact that I cannot always see the two folders that i shared, Movies and TV Series. If and when they actually show up, WDTV is telling me there is no media in the current folder.
Do I have to share every single sub folder within Movie and TV Series?
If I go to options and try to add the folder to my media library it says the source is set to Read-Only, which it is not as I gave all users the ability to read and change the folder.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
