Hoping someone can help,

I have a file server running WHS2011, I want to be able to connect to it just from my PC.

So in the WHS2011 dashboard I have made a user account with name and password and then have all my shared folders set to read/write for that user, then the "Guest" user is set to No access.

Problem I have is my WD:TV media player has access to all the photos/videos/music even though I have not added any usernames or passwords to it.

How do I block all the files from being accessed on the network apart from my PC?
 
Extract from WHS 2011 technet:

"Before you turn on Media Library Sharing for a shared folder, you should know that Media Library Sharing bypasses any type of user-account access that you set for the shared folder. For example, let's say that you turn on Media Library Sharing for the Photos shared folder, and you set the Photos shared folder to No Access for a user account named Bobby. Bobby can still stream any digital media from the Photos shared folder to any supported digital media player or DMR. If you have digital media that you do not want to stream in this manner, store the files in a folder that does not have Media Library Sharing turned on." :)

Answers my questions, thanks for that!
