Lorax you're post made me rethink this problem and on a search I go an interesting idea , I just tried something I had not tried before and (fingers crossed) it seems to be working now!!!!
i need to test some more and if it works I will type out what I did
be back in a bit
oK IT WORKS!!
this is what I did:
I was just about to force the install of WMP11 by some instructions I found in a search , as I read through the instructions I noticed something that made me think about another problem I once had with a windows service that I resolved by stopping the service and restarting it.
So ,
go to you're WHS desktop either direct OR through Remote desktop sharing from one of you're PC's
click Start , right click My Computer and select Manage
go to the services and applications section on the left and select services from the list
in the right window find "Windows Media Connect service" , right click on it , and select stop (note it may complain because its in use at this time but it Will stop)
go to you're WHS console and shut off media sharing by deslecting the 3 media folders
go turn on you're 360
come back and restart you're WHS
wait for it to start and go to you're 360 again and try to access the media folders , the error about connecting should now be gone BUT it should say "no media found" for each video Music and Photos
log back onto you're WHS desktop , it may give an error about media sharing could not start (BUT it is in fact started) and it will ask you to send an error report to MS
start up you're WHS console and enable media sharing , select the folders and then go to one of your Computers and go to your shares and sift through some of the music , video and photos you have in these folders by opening some of the media.
THEN go back to the 360 and try to access some media , it took a bit for all my folders to be seen but after a few tries i can now access all my media on my WHS through the 360!!
I restarted my 360 several times and it still sees it so....fingers crossed!!
PS: forgive some spelling errors , this kinda got me excited lol!!
PPS: not sure if just shutting down and restarting the service alone will work or not , but appearently there is a problem with the service and it must be restarted to fix it , simple reboots or restarts do NOT solve the problem though.
