  1. Extreme frustration with Libraries / Network


    So I've been using my TV to access my PC as they are on the same wi-fi. I would put a video file in the "Videos" folder and it would appear when accessing Videos through the TV (PC>Videos>All Videos>New File). This worked.

    Now when I went similarly (using the TV) to PC>Pictures>All Pictures, I noticed that all .png, .jpg files in my USER folder were appearing. Including all files in "ViberDownloads" (images I've sent/received on Viber), and other unrelated folders that were in my USER folder. All these would not appear when opening my Library with Windows Media Player, not under pictures, nowhere. Only when using my TV.

    So I tried to fix this and fucked everything up.

    Attempt #1: I went to Libraries on my PC and removed "library locations" for ALL 6 folders (Camera Roll, Pictures, Videos, Documents, Music, Saved Pictures). Restarted the TV, refreshed, all images from USER folder still appearing.

    Attempt #2: I went to my USER folder right click Properties > Security > Edit.. > WMPnetworksvc > Remove. Now browsing to All Pictures on my TV no longer shows anything at all (even though still takes a while to load compared to Videos, which is weird).

    I added a separate folder in USER called "Shared" and added this to Library Location. I put a video file in there but since I've removed all permissions for this WMPnetworksvc I can't access anything from my TV anymore.

    Is there a way to give permissions back to WMPnetworksvc, if so how?

    And why were all images in USER appearing when navigating to All Pictures from my TV but were not appearing in the WMP library nor anywhere else on my PC?

    I've spent the better part of a day trying to fix this crap and it has been really frustrating. Any help is very much appreciated!

    • Click on the Library Tools Manage tab, and click on the Manage library button in the ribbon.
    • Click on the Add button

  3. Adding network locations to Windows Libraries

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I understand that you want to import the libraries to network location from an old machine to a new machine.

    Ideally, Libraries contain files that are stored in one or more storage locations. They do not actually store these files but only monitor the folders that contain the files, and let users access and arrange the files in different ways. You can create
    new libraries on a system by following the methods below.

    1. Press Windows key + E to open
      File Explorer
      and click on Libraries.
    2. Click on the Home tab, click on
      New item
      in the ribbon, and click on Library.
    3. Name the new library and include/add folders to the new library.

    If you want to copy the libraries from one PC to another one, the best way to do that is copying and pasting them. To do so, follow the steps mentioned below.

    1. Press Windows key + R to open
      Run
      command.
    2. Now type the command: %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries
    3. Copy the libraries, save it in a removable drive, and then paste it on another PC.

    However, since you are working on a client PC, I would suggest you to post your query on

    TechNet forums
    , where we have expertise and support professionals well equipped with the knowledge to assist you with your query.
