I am running the server on a windows 8.1 with WMC, and as a cleint I am running a tablet  ( surface pro ) also with 8.1 wit WMC. All the videos are coming up on my tablet, but when I want to stream (play) them, I got the error : WARNING-COULD NOT DIRECTLY ACCESS MEDIA. WILL ATTEMPT TO STREAM USE UNC PATH ON SERVER FOR DIRECT PLAYBACK

What does this mean ?

You need to set up your libraries (collections) in the server via UNC paths, not drive letter paths.

 

Read through the Knowledge Base threads: http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/forum/49-server/ on how to set it all up correctly.

 

Have you tried the W8.1 app for MB3:

I would definitely check out the 8.1 specific app.  It is geared to tablets while WMC/MBC is not really.  It is in the Windows Store.
