DSM-750 won't see DNS-121
« on: September 22, 2008, 07:30:01 AM »

Tried all I can think of but still cannot get Media lounge to see/recognize my DND-121. The last thing I tried was the reg edit for WMP to monitor folders in a network location...no luck
I'm running Windows Vista Premium-DNS-121 and two DSM-750's. I would rather use Win Media Center to run everything bust since it has the FF/Rewind problem on anything but DVR-MS files I elected to run my media through media lounge, but since it cannot see the media  on the DNS-121 I'm stuck.  Everything works as advertised when the media is located on the server hard drive.  My next course of action will be to install my large media drives from the DSN-121 to the server computer.  The DSN-121 then pretty much becomes an expensive paperweight. 
The volume in the DSN-121 is called media, when I try to access it from the extender and looks for a folder called “MEDIA_Shared” then tells me what I already know, it doesn’t exist.  I created it etc, but still no luck.

1. Have you already moved the content to the hard drive of the DNS-321?

2. Once you have moved the content to the hard drive, have you configured the UPNP AV server? You need to either share the root(entire drive) or select the folder which your content is in to share. Once that is selected you need to hit the Refresh button at the top in order to build your UPNP AV server index list.

3. Once the unit has finished refreshing you should be able to see the device under media lounge mode as something like dlink-23093 where the #'s represent the last few digits of your devices mac address. Select it and the folder or root that you shared and check for your music/photo/video content.

Pretty sure I got all that, but can you give me a rundown of configuring the upnp AV server.
The Data is being seen on the DNS-121 via media center and media player, Just not in media lounge

Thanks

Thanks for leading me in the right direction.  I have found the configuration you mentioned and all is well.

Thanks again
