Accessing media from a UPnP device in WMP 11
In a post-Beta 2 build of Vista, at one point I was able to open Windows
Media 11 and it automatically discovered my Maxtor shared server UPnP NAS device with my music, videos & photos on it. I used it to stream my music to my laptop. After upgrading to RC1, it seems that this feature no longer works or is missing. I have made sure I have "Find media that others are sharing" enabled in the "Media Sharing" dialog. I can see my NAS device in my "Network", however no media shows up in WMP. Any ideas? Did something change?

Apparently network devices are not supported.

That's no good. I have the same Maxtor setup here... I had to get around it

Accessing media from a UPnP device in WMP 11
But no word on why my Maxtor UPnP device would have shown up within Media
Player 11, with all the music, videos, etc. listed in there, one day, working fine, then with the next update it's all gone? I've installed three subsequent builds hoping that it was a bug and this feature would return. Seems a shame that there are no good desktop media players out there that make good on the promise of UPnP AV... iTunes does their own custom thing, and Windows Media Player 11 doesn't even seem to support it anymore. Sounds like an opportunity out there I suppose. "intclass" wrote: That's no good. I have the same Maxtor setup here... I had to get around it by mapping the drive.
