ive just purchased a network media player and cant seem to get it to see files on my pc.

so i have my wireless router which has a lead going to my pc and one going to my media player.

what settings do i have to enable to use the media player to access my pc ?

do i have to create a folder juts for sharing files to my media player.

i have read some guides but still unsure what i need to do.

@schizo when you are posting questions people need to know about make/model of the devices you are talking about so that people can find manuals e.t.c on the internet to assist with problems.

sorry

With the PlayOn AC Ryan range you have to now turn the function on in the options menu on the player itself.

If there is firmware available to upgrade I suggest you do that first and then come back to tell us you have done it.

mine isnt a playon ac ryan media player (i wish it was though)

When you click on network and sharing wizard then network, what devices show up?

one min and ill grap a screen shot of what i have.

Schizo · 17 Apr 2011 at 19:51

the blue "markpc" is the one my media plater can see but wont show any files.

Schizo · 17 Apr 2011 at 20:06

that blue icon does not have a properties tab on it.

just a explore and open or create short-cut

right,ive updated the media player and im still stuck.

the player now ask's for a password and user-name ?

i joined the me1 forum to get some help but people are saying leave the username and password blank and then it will let you in but it stilll says "logon failed"

i thought media players were easy to set up,ive had it nearly a week now and im nowhere closer to getting it to work as it should work.
