Windows media player library not showing to other DLNA players

Hi,

I have Windows 10 enterprise 64 bit (clean install) machine with media files in custom folders and I would like to use media player as DLNA server. I set up my library in media players so it shows all of these files. I turned on the streaming to other devices.

I can successfuly connect from other devices (samsung smart TV, android phone with various DLNA player software) to my windows 10 machine. But I cannot see nor play any of the files/folders in my library - all it shows are empty default folders.

When I set up different DLNA server (e.g. plex server) on my windows 10 machine media is visible to the players. But I would like to keep my media library management as easy as possible that is why I would like to use media player streaming capabilities.

I never tried setting up DLNA server with previous version of windows and media player so maybe I just lack the neccesary experience for this.

Could anyone help?

I did copy some media to default media library folders for my user.

I already tried deleting cache in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player.

 

Windows Media Player - DLNA Server Issues

When did it start happening: After upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10. None of these problems existed when I was on Windows 7. I had a DLNA server setup when I was using Windows 7 too.

Problem(s):

• When viewing the list of available DLNA servers on my smart TV I am getting two identical DLNA servers. One works and the other simply states there are no media files available.
• About once a month, Windows 10 will decide to shut off my DLNA server. That means I have to open up Windows Media Player, click Streaming, and Turn On...again.

I am sure number 2 is harder to resolve than number 1. Number 1 is probably just some registry entry that needs to be removed.

 

DLNA

Hi,

DLNA on Windows 10 can be done in 2 ways:

• There is a Cast To Device button that you can use to stream Windows 10 to a DLNA
  video player.
• For receiving content, you will have to use the Windows Media Player

Which of the above are you trying to do? Also, provide error code or message, if any, when the video files do not play.
