Probable Cause Answer/Resolution
Digital Media Adapters (DMA, or Digital Media Receivers - DMR) use
the Universal Plug 'n Play (UPnP) protocol to automatically discover
Digital Media Servers (DMS). The HP MediaSmart Server uses
Windows Media Connect 2.0 (WMC) as its DMS. In order for a DMA
to discover the HP MediaSmart Server and access its content, WMC
must be enabled. WMC defaults to being disabled; it is automatically
enabled for all DMAs when the server administrator selects one or
more of the three media shared folders (Music, Photos and Videos) for
media sharing. On your DMA, you should then see the HP
MediaSmart Server listed as:
<YourServerName>: 1 : Windows Media Connect
Note that some DMAs aggregate the content from all DMSs into a single
view; in such a case you may not be able to identify each DMS
individually.
