The lad spent more then a few quid on me this year and asked father Christmas to send me a Wifi speaker 

It is controlled via the Muzo App on my gayphone and works pretty well tbh.

When I try and connect it to my homegroup / media centre via Wifi, it initially started to show on the phone screen the track names. When I tried to get it to show albums, it spat me out and now even though you can see the media centre on the phone screen, it shows no play lists / artists / albums or tracks 
No matter what button I press, it will not show anything what is on the media centre 

The lad tried to connect via his blackberry and could see everything on the media centre BUT the music 

Anybody any ideas on this please ?


I should also add if it helps that the 2 pc's and the media centre are hard wired together and you can see each others files via the network.
My pc and media centre downstairs are running Win 7 with Ms Essentials in the background.
The lads pc is running Win 10.

Trying to get Crapple and Windows to talk to each other....you ought to know better 

Apart from that no idea at all....still use CD`s round here

Could be a number of things, initial thoughts for me would be Homegroup permissions, Media Source sharing properties, Firewall permissions, etc.

What's one o them, new fanglled music type things.

Sounds like a permissions or a workgroup issue.  Trial and error should sort it out

Suspect we can ignore the MCE bit, its probably a non Windows device not properly talking to Windows devices.

What protocol is the unit using to talk to Windows?

A quick update on this ...............

Just finished my list of chores left for me by the missus  and decided to stick the Tunin app on from the phone.

While playing with it, I noticed that 1, out of about 6 albums is now showing and playing okay 

I'll have a look later at the properties of this album and the rest / other mp3 folders and see if there is any difference

I bet you're glad the ccr2006 still has a tape player

Well tried pretty much everything I can think of (other then t wating it with Percy the persuader) and still know luck 

I've got 2 pc's and the media centre linked up and can access / play anything but as soon as I try and go wifi to the speaker, it just goes tits up 

I've had Airfoil and Musicbee recommended by a couple of people who have had this problem.
Anybody out there in OOF land use these ?
