    Hi I'm just wondering if the above is normal under media streaming settings on widows 10 home edition,I'm trying to share and have being trying to share a folder using kodi(i have contacted kodi)...shouldn't there be an ip address/mac address on the above..every other device on the network has mac address ip etc.


    The above is my desktop device but as I said theres no ip etc..kodi wont see it on the network.i tried many steps as outlined on this website about SMB sharing and I'm aware of Microsoft patches that are supposed to interfere with smb sharing


    thanks

    :)

    Goodness. The shouting.



    Use their instructions?

    Media Share



    RE:

    Setup is quick and easy.

    To set up your system for Media Share make sure you have the following:
    • A Media Share-enabled DIRECTV receiver.
    • A PC enabled with media sharing software.
    • An Internet connection and a router.

    Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service

    Hi AshGivargis,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Could you please help me with the below questions:

    1. Have you made any changes to the computer prior to this issue?
    2. Which version of Windows you are using? (To check, type: winver in start menu and hit enter.)
    3. What happens when you try to access Windows Media player? Do you have any error message?

    Windows Media Player, shares Windows Media Player libraries to other networked players and media devices using universal plug and play. If this service is not running, there might be issues while using this feature.

    I would suggest you to follow these steps:

    1. Press Windows
      and R
      key together on your Keyboard.
    2. Type services.msc and hit enter.
    3. Search for Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service
      and Windows search.
    4. Double click on the service and select Automatic under start up.
    5. Click on Start, Apply and Ok.
    6. Restart the computer and check if is working now.

    Hope it helps.

  4. Media sharing question

    Network share not working properly using W 10

    Hi Rudi,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    I would suggest you to follow the methods and check if it helps:

    Method 1: I suggest you to run home group troubleshooter as below and check if it helps.

    • Type troubleshooting in the search area on the taskbar and select
      Troubleshooting
      .
    • Select View all on the top left corner.
    • Click Home Group.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions to run the troubleshooter.

    Method 2: Also try the below steps and check if it helps.

    • Turn off media sharing via Window Media Player on all the machines that show

      up in Network as a Media Sharing Device.
    • Tools -> Options -> Library tab -> Configure Sharing... button
    • Uncheck "Share my media to:”
    • Uncheck "Find media that others are sharing" doesn't seem to do it, maybe

      require a reboot.

    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
