Win 10 & MM v4.1.9.1752 & DIRECTV MediaShare

Post by steviegt »

I have used MM as my media server for what seems years now thru DIRECTV MediaShare. All the menuing I saw/used on TV screen mirrored the MM Tree to the letter until Win 10 upgrade. Now I still have have a lot of same functionality with a somewhat different structure. Although my playlists are in the same spot untouched there is now folders for playlists (on TV display only) none of which contain mine.

MM? DIRECTV? Win 10?

Ongoing bugs for me...

MediaShare screensaver (SS) shows tag info as song plays. Their SS tag shows Artist to be MM's "Album Artist". Makes a difference.

MediaShare screensaver (SS) shows tag info as song plays. Their system shows Artist to be [Unknown Author]. The tag info is as it should be with correct info. (Even if it reads Album Artist) *This one is intermittent since Win 10 upgrade*

Do media files still play in MediaMonkey?

Then I suggest File > Maintain Library with complete optimization and a PC and client restart if not done already.

Thank you. Needed to be done all round. Thing is now I have 2 profiles in MediaShare.

One which appears to be tied to MS login/Home Network because it's using a system name that includes my machine name and email address. This is the new menu structure I referred to. Does not matchup with MM. Cannot see my Playlists in Playlists folders. A lot more limited menuing/search/drill down.

A second profile, which is actually my original profile (machine name) is back and working as it did previously. Structure closely matches MM tree almost to the letter although some folders are not readable. Message states unable to access or folder is empty when they are not. All playlists are visible and working.

It appears the following is tied to which profile I now choose.

Profile 1 only.

MediaShare screensaver (SS) shows tag info as song plays. Their system shows Artist to be [Unknown Author]. The tag info is as it should be with correct info. (Even if it reads Album Artist) *This one is intermittent since Win 10 upgrade*

What......no ideas for help? More info or screenshots needed?

Can the 2 profiles mean there are 2 media servers running? Where do I find the Win 10 server to shut it down if it is?

One might by a Windows Media Share and not a MediaMonkey one.
