I have a WD Live TV setup on an ethernet network in the same subnet as a Windows XP SP3 machine which holds the network shares. At first it worked just fine. The unit could see the shares and find the media content in the shares and play it just fine. However, now it can find the server, login but it always returns the message “no media in the folder” or something like that. I have tried every network share setting, permission setting with no luck.
What do I need to setup so that the WD Live TV will see the contents of Windows XP Pro SP3 shares? The files in the shares play just fine on the local machine so I know the content is there and working. What is so frustrating is that it was working at one point and mysteriously stopped working.
I setup a special login account on the Windows XP machine and that account has local admin permissions on the machine. The WD Live TV will login to the server OK but that’s as far as it goes. It then returns the error message “no media in folder”. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Any advice for Mac users? I updated and now my WDTV Live won’t see any network shares. I didn’t change anything on my Mac, but I can’t figure it out. WDTV Live 1.04.17 Mac network share - OSX 10.6 with SMB sharing on
Am having the same problem, updated to a 27" iMac with same settings as previous machine and can see network shares but cannot log in to account, have tried all combinations with no success, have you managed to sort it?
