Experience Level: Advanced
This add-in allows you to edit the settings for Microsoft’s media serving software, Media Connect, which comes bundled with Windows Home Server.
The configuration software is available in-box on HP’s MediaSmart Server or it can be downloaded from here if you have other brands of Home Server.
This add-in simply starts that configurator from within a Windows Home Server Console Tab and allows you to allow and block access from your home server to various media devices in the home – an Xbox 360 for example.
From the main screen you can see which media devices that have tried to connect to your sever. Here you can choose to allow or disallow access from those devices. From the shares screen you can add, edit and remove the folder you want to share. And from the settings screen you can decide if Media Connect is to start up automatically, and if new devices will get approved for access by default or not.
Sometimes you need to click the “Media Connect” toolbar multiple times in order to get the application to dock in the WHS console.
