I have Windows Media Player set up to stream video to several devices in my apartment. I had recently run out of space so I purchased an external drive to store my videos/music etc.
I can add the media to my WMP library and play it locally without issue. As soon as I try to access the media from another device that supports media streaming (Media player or another PC) only the media stored on a fixed drive is available.
Is there a way to enable media sharing from a removable drive or somehow trick WMP that the media is stored on a fixed drive?
I tried setting up a SymLink linking a directory on the fixed drive to the removable one but with the same result.
Have you tried adding the folders on your removable drive to your libraries? WMP works well when streaming libraries. Try it out and let me know if it helps. – Corporate Geek – 2012-02-08T10:37:09.647
