The resolutions for this, in Windows, can vary from being easy and quick to resolve, or it can be rather more stubborn. That endlessly spinning arrow is the worst, it really is! I get it every time my Windows system gets its settings upset (that can happen quite legitimately for a number of reasons). I’m running the same Windows and I will virtually guarantee the problem is in Windows sharing, not the fault of WDTV. I assume we’re talking about a Windows Network Share here. I am about ready to stomp on this thing so any help would be very greatly appreciated. I know this because when I look at the files the extensions do not show up and also looking at the file info box at the bottom right it shows the extension as the last word in the title of whatever piece I am trying to play. I looks like for some reason it is not seeing the extensions on the files. Then from the same menu I choose my computer that is also in the list and it populates as before but none of the files will open.

Then if I go to one of the categories like videos and at the top right of the window click select content source/click network share and it does the same thing just sits there and spins. Then I go to System/Media Library/Clear Media Library/Media Library Manager For Network Share/Add Network Share To Media Library/Windows Share/Click OK and the circular arrow just sits there and spins and nothing happens.

As it stands right now the computer shows up and shows all the files I have shared on my PC but it does not matter what I try to play it tells me to check the extension in the manual and I know they should work. I am using the latest windows 10 insider preview. I have tried all of the methods above and no joy. I am trying to use a WDTV Live that I have not used for a few years and getting nowhere with it. I’m from Romania so I apologize for the eventually english mistakes. I hope this helps everyone who has the sharing problem. Good luck and enjoy!

The upgrade process left to many c.r.a.p.

Now you should be able to find the shared directory on the WDTV.Īlso, I don’t know if this counts, but I did all this on a fresh/clean install of Windows 10 Home.In my case it’s working with just a Guest account permission. Click the arrow and select either Guest, Everyone or both of them -> after each selection click Add -> for Guest and/or Everyone set bellow Read/Write Permission Level (this is very important because WDTV needs to right some media library information inside your shared directory) -> Share

On your WDTV: Setup -> Network Settings -> Clear Saved Network Share Login -> Clear All Windows Share Login -> OKĪ) right click START -> Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center -> Change advanced sharing settings -> All Networks (drop down arrow) -> Turn off password protected sharing (last one on the bottom) -> close everything.ī) right click START -> File Explorer -> navigate to the folder you want to share and right click on it -> Properties -> Sharing (tab) -> Share… (NOT Advanced Sharing…) -> in the new opened window there is a large empty box with a drop down option on the right side. With the upgrading to Windows 10 I had the same problem as many of here not being able to share media content from my PC onto WDTV Media Player.Īfter playing around for a while with various settings I found a solution that is working, at least for me:
