I lost a hard drive a few days ago and replaced it and put all my stuff back on it. I have every possible setting set up right as far as sharing goes and my 360 will simply NOT see the folder I have shared to it in the Video blade. I can access the media just fine through the Media Center area but not there.

I have run into this before but it seems to have just fixed itself. I have tried everything I can think of. It shouldn't be this fucking complicated to get two microsoft products to work together. It shares my music just fine but refuses to share my video.

WMP12 in Windows 7.

Any advice is appreciated.

Figured it out... I had to restart the Windows Media Sharing service and for whatever reason this worked despite me restarting my machine which would have done this anyway.

Hope someone else finds this and can benefit from it.
