Streaming from other libraries vs play shared files

I was able to share a folder, that part adds the video library to another local computer, and then ask WMP read a file in this folder (imported into the local library).

I read help on the "other libraries" function that is related to the streaming of files on home network (and the internet, but this is not my case), having played the other PC (or a digital camera).

Since I have problem in using this feature, I am writing to ask preliminarly the following:

Does streaming by using "other libraries" is another way to do the same thing, I did (as described above), or let use more effective protocols than to simply read a shared file using the ethernet Protocol?

Thank you in advance, regarding

Ricardo

There are more effective ways, one is by setting up a 'homegroup' so that all of your computers to share together.  To start, type "homegroup" in the search box of the start menu and you'll find it.

  • Multimedia shared problems - computers do not see each and other libraries

    I have 3 computers: 1 computer that runs Windows 7 and WMP 12, 2 computers that are running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition and WMP 11 and 3 computer runs also Windows Vista Ultimate Edition and WMP 11.  I have installed all Windows updates.

    The problem is that the computer 2 and 3 computer can not see each and other libraries, but both can see computer library 1.  Computer 1 can see the libraries computer both 2 and 3 of the computer.

    All three computers are in the same workgroup.  They are connected with the same username (without password).  Sharing multimedia files are allowed between all computers (and, in fact, the media sharing dialog box shows computer 2 when the 3 computer and vice versa).  On the Vista machines I have the network discovery, file sharing, public folder sharing, and media sharing on.

    You can also put the computer in a clean boot state, and then search for the question.
    a. put your system in start mode state minimum helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.
    b. If Yes, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

    What you will do, is add the PlayerListener and / if you have in your loop code would go in the treatment of the END_OF_MEDIA event. Once that noise has stopped you will start the next sound and add the listener of player.

    //Declarations
    PlayerListener pListen;
    String mp3 = "";
    
    ..........
    ..........
    
    pListen = new PlayerListener(){
       public void playerUpdate(Player player, String event, Object eventData) {
          if (event.equals(PlayerListener.END_OF_MEDIA)) {
             if( mp3.equals(test1) ) mp3 = test;
             else if( mp3.equals(test2) ) mp3 = test3;
             else if( mp3.equals(test3) ) mp3 = test4;
             .........
    
             InputStream stream = (InputStream)this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/" + mp3);
             p = Manager.createPlayer(stream, "audio/mpeg");
             p.realize();
             p.prefetch();
             p.addPlayerListener(pListen);
             p.start();
          }
       }
    }
    
    InputStream stream = (InputStream)this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/" + mp3);
    p = Manager.createPlayer(stream, "audio/mpeg");
    p.realize();
    p.prefetch();
    p.addPlayerListener(pListen);
    p.start();
    

    So, add the try-catch blocks.

    bzunic, have you updated the firmware your model?

    With my own game, (32RL900A), the notice said that some of the buttons of the remote control are "unused", however, after the first update of the firmware, the "unused" buttons have been used, (in our case, record, Time Shift and so on).

    Is the reason why I talk about this, these features became available after an update of the firmware and not included in the manual of the user, in our case, and a subsequent download of the instruction manual for our model actually gave instructions for the use of these features, which have been presented as 'not available '. in the manual original instructions supplied with the TV, but became available after the update of the firmware.

    Let us know how it works...

    I can see other computers on a network of peer to peer windows XP but cannot access their shared files and the shared printer. The computers are connected by a switch, fixed IP addresses that are correctly configured and point to a DNS server outside the network. When I try to open the icon for one of the computers, he asked for credentials. I try to type the user name for the computer that is sharing the resource and the password. It is the user account whose computer is loged on and belongs to the Administrators group. for example: user name (Computer1\username) password (password). It does not work. The Windows Firewall is disabled on all computers. It worked well there 2 days. I can't find anything wrong with the network settings. Does anyone have a solution? Thank you.

    If the portion of the machine has activated - Simple file sharing (i.e. it is XP Home or it is XP Pro with Simple (default) file sharing) - while all file sharing connections authenticate as user 'guest '.  It will not matter what username / password you provide, it will attempt to authenticate as 'guest '.  If the guest user has received a password or the guest account is not active, you will experience the symptoms you describe.

    If the serving machine running XP Pro and Simple file sharing is disabled, then you should be able to connect by specifying the user as computer\user and the password to connect.  To turn off Simple file sharing:

    Hello Jorstar1,

    Thank you for your message.  Windows Media Player 11 supports .avi, but compression can dictate whether he will play or not.  This is very probably a Codec issue, you can perform a websearch for a Codec that will play any avi compression.
    Please let us know if it did or did not help to resolve this problem.

  • Windows Media Player cannot play the file

    I get the following message appears when you try to listen to a streaming radio station live online.

    Windows Media Player cannot play the file. A network firewall might prevent the player to open the file by using the UDP transport protocol. If you typed a URL in the open URL dialog box, try using a different transport protocol (for example, "http:").

    I can listen to other stations, but not this one.  Before about 2 weeks ago, I had no problem getting the live stream.  Has been no change on my computer.  URL is: http://www.wlpv1079online.com/Live%20Streaming%20Page.htm

    Hi Kathy,

    1. what operating system is installed on the computer?
    2. which web browser is installed on the computer?
    3. What is the accurate and complete error message you get?

    Method 1
    I suggest you try the steps from the following link:

    Method 2
    If the problem is with a particular station, then I suggest you to contact the support of the radio station.

    I suggest you to disable the firewall and see if the problem still occurs.

  • "Other libraries" adding Windows Media in Windows Media Center player.

    So, I am absolutely delighted by the distance streaming media in Windows Media Player. I run a guitar shop, and it was really nice to have all of my music at home, on my desk, can be played in the store. As opposed to everything I hold on my laptop.

    But the thing is that I run Windows Media Center on the TV, and all of my media that are on my laptop looks fantastic up there, covers of albums and video library and everything. But the thing is that I can not add the media that I'm streaming from remote media streaming option in Windows Media Center.

    I can play media in Windows Media Player, and it will appear in Windows Media Center, but without album art. And I can not play videos in Windows Media Center unless I open them manually with Windows Media Center.

    So basically, I ask if it is possible to add media in my "other libraries" using option of streaming WMP remote in the library in Windows Media Center?

    Thank you much for the help!

    -Tazzlyn

    If I understand what you're asking, you want to be able to use Internet in WMP
    streaming between two places, but with the Media Center interface? You can not
    do this.
     
    If you are using two computers on the same HOME, inside the media network
    Center interface, you can add folders to the library from another computer.
    Tasks, settings, multimedia library
