Does 'Allow Internet Access to Home Media' no longer work in Windows 8/8.1 Windows Media Player? I have tried the following:
-Windows 7 PC with linked live ID hosting media, cannot see in Windows 8 WMP, logging into profile with same live ID. (can see locally but not over internet)
-Windows 8 PC logged in with live ID hosting media, cannot see in another Windows 8 WMP, logging into profile with same live ID. (can see locally but not over internet)
At no point does a check mark ever appear next to the 'Allow internet acess to home media' button on the windows 8 systems, even though it says that access to home media has been successfully allowed. If I link my live ID to another windows 7 system it works like a charm. I have tried this on multiple windows 8 PCs to no avail.
I am convinced that this requires either some kind of special configuration, or that this feature has perhaps been disabled in Windows 8. Or maybe it is something simple I am missing. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
