My Files Do Not Show Up on My DMA

Once WMC has been enabled to share a shared folder, it continually monitors the folder for
new files.
If your DMA does not display WMC from the HP MediaSmart Server, or none of your files
are found by the DMA.
If some of your files (e.g., files newly copied to the server) are not found by the 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:
