I'll share with you both the problem and the solution that came my way.
You might have seen it already, but this is my first post, OK. :wave:
My new Sony TV has a RJ45 port for connection to the local network, so I installed the CAT5 cable. The TV auto detects the IPs etc beautifully.
In Windows Media Player I can add the TV under Library/Media Sharing. I can ping the IP address of the TV OK but the TV can't see anything as a server.
After days of surfing I find this:
forums.techarena.in/ media-technology/657632.htm (drop the spaces etc, haven't got to 5 posts yet
)
Just read the last post..(28/03/2007). This Alex bloke seems real helpful!
DRM rights issue. Followed the instructions, turned the TV off & on and :grinthumb
I did it on a different machine and just emptied the hidden DRM & Cache directories and it worked fine.
So how come a problem identified with WMP10 in 2007 is still in WMP11 in 2009??
Hope this make it a little easier for someone else.
