The media library just seems broken on my WHS 2011 system. I have two main problems that I can't find answers to.
1) When I add new media to the server, it doesn't show up in the media library. I have to turn off media streaming, delete the database file and then enable the library to rebuild the media database file. Isn't this supposed to work automatically?
2) I can't stream mp4 video's from my server to windows 7 machines using the WEB interface through the LAN or the WAN. I can stream .mov video files but not most of the mp4. At first streaming worked, but slowly less and less files will stream.
At this point there are just a few mp4's that I can still stream. I have not been able to identify what is different about them. There is nothing wrong with any of the mp4 files. I can download the files and play
them. They just don't stream. I have checked the permissions and every thing seems ok. I have no idea what is going on. Another clue: I just built up an old Pentium 4 laptop with Windows XP. I couldn't
get the connector software to load (I got a server busy error), but I was able to stream mp4's (that previously wouldn't stream to any other systems) to through the WEB site. Any ideas what is going on?
