But I am can't figure out how to save those photos to My Picture file. I can save them to Snapfish but nowhere else. I'm sure it is something simple I am not doing but for the life of me I can't solve the puzzle. Thanks for any help.

The media streaming app in the HP Mediasmart Server menu wants to stream over the internet. I've tried Windows Media Player 11 (all updates installed) but it will not pick up the videos when I add the folder to the library and when I navigate to the files and try to open them, I get an error message stating the ".mp4" extension is unrecognized file format and the file will not play. I've not been able to figure out how to use Twonky Media, is that what I need to use? I know this should be simple and straight forward. What am I missing?

The reason I ask is, I have 2 users on my machine, and in some cases 2 VERY different musical tastes. I'd prefer it if the 2 libraries were not consolidated like that. On top of that, this promise of full Libraries support isn't quite what I expected. Because of a limitation in Windows Search 4, when the Library aggregrates any music files from the server, most of the thumbnails are shown in duplicate and all of the file names have the .mp3 extension at the end of them, despite the option being enabled to show otherwise. There are a few other things it does that make the Library look like crap. So I would like to prevent the libraries from scanning the Music folder, or hopefully change a setting on the server to prevent it.

I have an EX485 where I have several home videos stored. I use WMP 11 on my computer (not the server) with XP. I've been playing the videos stored on my server by going into the videos folder and double clicking the video I want to watch. This works well with one exception... It takes a good minute before I am able to change the volume and/or fast-forward/rewind the video. The video playback is fine, it's just my ability to the controls takes a while to "load". Any ideas, suggestions or solutions?

They play OK on my computer but stop before the end. If I move the slider the rest of the extract is there but for some reason doesn't play. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Got a HP EX485 set up with a household of WinTel Laptops, Macbooks and Playstation 3 devices. All the WinTel Stuff has all the functions of the HP MSS Apple/Mac has Time Capsule running and the Back ups are in place. Playstation 3 can play some Videos but not all. Issues: Apple/Mac - 2 Issues: 1) Picture copy from the Apple/Mac Library keeps crashing before all the Pics are copied to the shared Pictures Subdirectory (23+GB/7,400 Pictures) 2) In Safari https://www.SERVERNAME.hphomeserver.com/ does not connect to the MSS to allow any work with the HP MSS. I thought a browser would be the "COMMON GROUND" for interoperability. (My iPhone can play the Streaming Media from the HP MSS using the HP MSS Application.) Playstation 3: Are the Codec's for PS3 to play all videos? My xBox 360 seems to download codecs when it needs them. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I am hitting the end of my solution trail.
