I followed you all the way and have riped my DVD's and have three computers locating the DVD's Can you be more specific on how to add the artwork. I am lost at that point.

Thanks,

Fixed… one was a stupid mistake on my part. There is a specific area on WHS now for Media Center rights to folders. You need to specify if you want Media Center to be able to connect to these folders, and how. Also, I made the mistake of thinking that adding a shared folder to watch in the Media Center Setup was the same as a DVD Folder to watch.

Srainess – you may be right. I have always had my Movies folder within the Video folder. Perhaps WHS is only willing to share it's default folders nicely? It's a thought. Hope it works for those having trouble.

I have the same problem. I noticed some duplicate entries because of the connector software specifically for media center. What I did notice, is that the DVD's showed up if I moved the folders into the video's folder that was shared. Have to do some more testing. Did you load the media connector software on you your media center machine, or are you just connecting as a normal machine ?

Well, you need to be sure your media center can see the folder on your server with your movies in it. Then, be sure that Media Center is monitoring that folder for movies. Other than that, I'm not sure what is going wrong. Sorry!

R.mcadams – Have you solved your problem yet? It probably lies in your network settings. The other thing is just to wait. The first time I link to the server movies it usually takes a minute or so. Sorry I can't be of more help. Let me know if you are still struggling with this.

I followed the steps listed, ripping 10-20 movies but then two different Vista WMC boxes show "No Movies Found" when I go to "DVD Library". I did add the Video's folder to those to be watched. Any ideas?
