My media server/player is a Windows 7 PC with WMP setup. Now I want to be
able to control that WMP from a WMP running on another PC or device.
Please note that I am not talking about streaming.
I believe that the functionality that I am after is referred to as UPnP
control point. Can WMP be used as a 'control point'.
I am using Windows 7 on my media server/player and I have Vista on the PC
that I am trying to use as my controller.
On WMP on my media server/player I have specified the option "allow remote
control of my player" (on the stream menu).
On my other Windows PC's, when I look at the network, I can see a reference
to my media, now shared from the first PC. It is listed as a 'media device'.
The problems start when I try to use WMP as my control point on one of my
other PC's. I can find the remote media, and I can stream it such that it
plays on my local PC, but I can't find anyway to get it to play on the remote
PC.
What am I missing? Is there a help page or FAQ for how to do this?
