Why my files do not show up on DMA?

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: 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. Further

troubleshooting steps form DMA follow:

Once WMC has been enabled to share a shared folder, it

continually monitors the folder for new files.
