"Media Sync" and "Home Media" on the Nseries - how...

"Media Sync" and "Home Media" on the Nseries - how do you get it to work?

I've set up Home Media on the N79, and right now, if I try to browse to it from Windows, I get nothing. As far as Windows is concerned, there's no files being shared from it, I guess. It just loads up WMP and shows me my local library.

 

Now, there's also Media Sync. I've got that set up to manually sync my Captured Photos and Captured Videos to my home network, and it'll happily scan what files are available, but then when I get it to Sync, it does nothing. If I get it to show me what files are synced to the network, there's obviously nothing there, because it's not syncing anything. It thinks that syncing is disabled for all available sync-to-network file types, regardless of my settings.

 

So my question is, has anyone got playing to/from devices over the network with Home Media to work, or Media Sync to the network to work? Ever? I can't find any examples online of somebody who's actually used either of these features successfully. How did you do it?

Hello.

You need to activate shareing from WMP. That is easy and works good in Windows 7 but in WMP 11 I find it harder to get working.

So if you dont use Win7 a suggest you go for TVersity, Winamp Orb or Nokia Home Media.

 

A plus with Win7 and Nokia Home Media is that you can use the feature "Play/Show via Home Network".

Hi,

 

Sorry for the late reply, but I've got it all configured right, it just doesn't do anything on "Sync To". After running the wizard, my N79's still sent to "synching off" for all items in the "to home" section, and the only options outside of the wizard are:

 

Target devices: This just shows a box marked "synchronisation off" with a check-box which can't be cleared

Keep on phone: This just sets file size for after syncing. 

 

"Sync From" works fine but being able to automatically back up my pics over the WLAN is more useful to me than being able to grab music automatically over the same.
