How to access media through Windows Media Player

Post by paulnaude01 »

Hi

I just downloaded UMS on a desktop PC (Windows 10) and can play the served media through my Samsung TV, but although "Universal Media Server" shows up on my other Windows (7 & 10) PCs in Windows Media Player, it shows no content available:

On the Windows PC with UMS installed, the two Windows Media Players are shown. It is just that I can't seem to see any of the content, although everything I shared is visible from my TV:

Is there something else I should set in Windows Media Player, or is there a better media player altogether you recommend I use on the windows laptops?
