    XBO Media Player, only showing some folders?


    Hi there, I'm having a problem where when browsing the shared files of my Laptop (Windows 7) I'm only able to see one or two folders on my console. I've got all of the included files and subsequent folders shared so i'm note sure what the problem could be.

    Any help or advice with this would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    :)

    Sling TV & Redzone

    For some reason streaming media has never been a pleasant experience for me on the XBO (on XBO S as well) - tried streaming ESPN & NFL app yesterday, stutter/buffer (and I have about 600 down and 800 up, so no issue w/ bandwidth) on a wired network.

    If I switch over to iphone/ipad, chromecast, streaming is flawless.

    Play To disappearing

    The only problem with using the Media Player is that my videos are on two separate hard drives. I have them separated into folders using letters of the alphabet for each folder and the N-Z folders are all symlinked from the Video folder to their locations
    on the second drive. The Media Player won't see the symlinks at all so I can't access half my video library from the Media Player. I can play them from Play To, however it'll drop out from time to time, usually if I reboot the media server and the Xbox is
    still on. It's annoying.

    File Sharing

    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.

    Is there a limit to number of files on HDD with XBOX One

    Yes they are all supported files. They are in separate folders by show and the movies are organized by letter (A-G, H-O, N-S, T-Z). There are 3,600 files. It shows the files in 6 of the folders but the rest are empty. I've tried using 3rd party file explorers
    and media players and it's the same thing for all apps.

    Should they be organized in folders in a certain way?

    Thank you for the reply!

    Media Player App - "You don't have access to this location"

    I'm also having this exact same problem with both PLEX and TVersity media servers. I did find that moving some of my folders out of my movie folder did help so I was able to access those files(i.e. a comic movie folder, kids folder, etc). I removed the
    folder and renamed it. Neither worked. I'm still able to access my movies on my Roku players it's only affecting my Xbox One and 360. Any help guys?

    Xbox Music duplicating content on PCs

    Hey ldl01031,

    Sorry to hear you're having issues with duplicate songs.

    From the files that you linked it looks like it is creating a new instance of the song in your overall music folder, the Xbox Music folder, and then a backup in the Xbox Music Cache. With the size of the network and volume of songs it sounds like you're trying
    to manage, this may not be an issue we can completely resolve as the Media Player is not intended to function in that capacity.

    That being said, I would still recommend you check out the
    Windows Media Player Troubleshooter
    .

    There is also these steps to remove duplicate items from your library:

    **I would recommend backing up your data first before trying either of these methods**

    a. Click Start, click Run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.

    b. Select all the files in the folder, and then click Delete on the File menu.

    Note: You do not have to delete the folders that are in this folder.

    c. Restart Windows Media Player.

    Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    If this does not resolve the problem, clear the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. Exit Windows Media Player.

    b. If you are running Windows 7, click Start, click Run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.

    c. Select the Media Player folder, and then click Delete on the File menu.

    d. Restart Windows Media Player.

    Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    I'm not 100% on this method as it doesn't look like these files are true duplicates since they are not being saved into the same destinations.

    Please let us know how that all works for you and we'll go from there.
