Itunes Server Help

Hi All,

 

Just got a 2TB MBL, copied over itunes library to public shared music. When I open Itunes I do not see the Network drive anywhere. Not sure what I am doing wrong. The share has media serving set to ALL.

 

Thanks,

Renkazza

Additional info. Twonky has everything listed under status but Itunes has nothing. When I rescan Itunes it doesnt do anything really. Just says initiated.

Re: Itunes Server Help

Does home sharing need to be turned on in itunes? I have turned it on but still nothing has changed.

Network Share configuration has nothing to do with iTunes Server.

Twonky Server has nothing to do with iTunes Server.

 

The ONLY thing you need to do is copy music to the Public / Shared Music folder and enable "iTunes Server" in the MBL control panel.

 

That's all.

Re: Itunes Server Help

Are you saying that iTunes server is now working?

Re: Itunes Server Help

Really? I don't see any share on my iOS devices and videos don't stream.

Re: Itunes Server Help

No, itunes server does not appear to be working. twonky server is working as it lists all media files in the status drop down and will update when rescan is selected. Itunes server IS enabled but has no status drop down and when rescan is selected, it simply states "itunes rescan has been initiated" and does nothing.
