WMP Issues

I'm having an odd issue with my music sharing and was wondering if anyone had seen it and hopefully fixed it.

I first tried TwonkyVision. The install was easy and the music was imediately accessible on the HR20. However, like other reports here, the music played in "slow motion". I laughed out loud when I heard it! :lol: This appears to be a known issue with mp3's of above 128kbps, so I uninstalled it and moved onto WMP.

I didn't want to load my entire 110GB+ music collection until I had some success, so I manually added one album (14 songs) to the library. The computer showed up, but I was unable to access any of the folders... I click on "Artist" or "Album" and nothing happens. It's not hung as the remote still responds, I just never get a list of songs. I created a playlist and added two individual songs to it. I can see the newly created playlist on the HR20, but when I click on it, I get the same thing... nothing happens.

I tried re-booting both PC and HR20, but neither seemed to help. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks...

When you are in WMP click on library. Does all your music show up?

If not I had the same problem last night when I migrated to a different computer. I am not sure what I did exactly but all of a sudden the library was searching my drives for music. What I did right before was go in to library at the top clicked add to library then advanced and added a folder.

Hope this helps

Thanks a lot! That did the trick. I had simply drag-n-dropped the single album, which for some reason prevented it from showing up on the HR20. When I added the folder as a "monitored" directory and it added them, all is working great now. Thanks again... :D
