I am able to play audio and video files from WHS to WMP11 in Vista. But in my terms it is only shared, not streamed. So that when playing a file it actually transfers the whole file to the client before it plays. I am expecting streaming to play AS IT transfers. I have proved this by playing both a short and long AVI file. After a few seconds wait, the short file played. But the long file just showed the 'busy' cursor until I got fed up waiting!
Is it possible to truly stream from WHS?
I am able to stream from any PC client on my network to my Unix notebook, so long as I mount the drive which has the media first.
do you have media sharing enabled on the server? did u add the location of the files u want to play to ur library in WMP 11? the files should show up in ur library after u add the location of the files. i just dbl click the song and it starts playing immediately...same for videos.
