On PC1 (Win7 64-bit) I've got a UPnP server running through Windows Media Player. The "Videos" library consists of three separate folders located on that PC (internal drives).

I've got XBMC 11.0 installed on PC2 (also Win7 64-bit). When I go to "Add Video Source..." --> Browse... --> UPnP Devices... I can see PC1 there, but only one of the three folders with my videos is visible there. Why aren't the other two folders appearing?

In Windows Explorer on PC2 I can see and access all three folders without a problem. It's just XBMC that doesn't see them all.


Thanks!

XBMC 11.0 (Eden) on W7 Home Premium 64bit, Pentium Dual-Core E5300, ATI Radeon HD 4350 512MB; Samsung UN55B7100; Mediagate MCE remote (AVS GP-IR01BK)

I have a very similar issue where xbmc I'll not list files/directories that are of/over a certain size.

Unfortunately, my post received no replys from the devs/users but after extensive testing, I'm pretty sure that the xbmc inplementation of its upnp server is buggy.

I have now changed/moved on from using xbmc as a upnp server and all now works well, when i re-enable he xbmc server to test it, same thing happens... It won't list my large directories?

I know this post orang help in any way, but just wanted to say, you are not the only one with xbmc upnp issues Smile

(if that's any comfort) Smile
