Disappearing Media Center libraries

There are two problems this causes, 1). the folder is taking up lots of disk space. 2). it causes problems 'no license' when playing in Media Center.

My library is on it's own drive h:\Music\. Media Center uses the same folder. Music Pass is using H:\Music\Xbox Music\Xbox Music Pass\ which means these write protected files are in my library. Media Center finds these wma right protected files on the XBox,
and my other win 8 machines running Media Center, and they stop playing by popping a message stating license not found. I own all of these songs since I bought the CD's and ripped them to the library myself.

All I want to do is start up Media Center on the Xbox and play all of my music without stopping, but since this folder is within my library and Media Center cannot locate the Media Pass license for these files, it stops playing.

I searched for a registry entry to move the '\Xbox Music Pass\' directory out of my library but no luck.

A solution would be nice.

In case anyone else has this problem this is as much as I can figure...

I did a manual shared folder add to the media center video library using local account credentials on another machine. This worked!! However, media center still refuses to see anything local to the media center PC. I'm guessing that when I go into the
video library on the xbox, it's looking for homegroup shared folders. This is a domain so there is no homegroup. It keeps telling me it can't find any libraries but now it actually lists the manually added folder from above.

So I figured I'll give it the network path and credentials for the media center PC. When I do this (\\tvpc\videos1) it actually adds "D:\" instead. It's because those files are local on the media center PC. I assume media center looks at the manual credentials
I entered and thinks 'this is already local to me so I'm tossing this away and using the local address'. Because there's no homegroupwith shared libraries, it can't see the local files because they're not shared that way. The odd thing is, if I use "System
Media Player" it sees both. So I can use media center to manage the shared folder setup and use the SMP to watch anything the xbox can read.

TL;DR: Media center on the xbox won't see files on the media center PC if they're local to that machine because there's no homegroup. It will manually connect to shares on other machines using their local account credentials and that works great.

Do you happen to know why my m4a music files will play on Windows Media Player and Media Center, but not through the Music Library? I have the "Optional Media Update"...

The best way to share files is through Windows Media Player or Windows Media Center. I personally set up a library on Windows Media Player and then sync it to my network, which my Xbox 360 is connected to. This way it will play only what is in your library
and not just the C: folder.

I don't think you can connect to 2 different media center's but the only solution I can think of is to share the media from PC A to PC B and add it to the library of windows media center on PC B then set up your xbox as an extender from PC B then you will
be able to access all the media from both PC's via the 1 connection
