So I finally updated to MP11 because it says I can stream media from my regular XP Pro box to a MCE (in this case, my 360) over the network. Yahoo! No need for stupid Media Center Edition!
Wrong. At least partly.
I load up my library, pointing to my shares where all of my media is stored (Server 2k3 for the time being until I figure out what exactly I did to my Debian machine - a slight mishap with an open bottled water). I have mapped drives of Z (music) Y (videos and movies) and X (pictures). I can view, play, and everything I normally do from that machine with no problems.
So I load up the sharing thing and my Xbox 360 sees the machine and everything is all good to go.
Except that I can only see the local files on the XP Pro machine.... Anything that is in my library that is on a mapped drive simply doesnt show up. I figured it must be the permissions on the 2K3 server. So I borrow a laptop from work, stick a new (non-domained) image on it, use simple file sharing and nada. Same thing.
Has anyone gotten this to work? I sure seem to either have missed something or this is by design for MS.
Any help would be appreciated!
