toch 1 Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 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 ?
CBers 7114 Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) 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: http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/2508-mediabrowser-win81-beta-signup/? Edited December 15, 2013 by CBers
ebr 15665 Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 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.
