    didn't work for me. In the Add to Library dialog folders didn't show and when I manually added the folders and clicked 'OK' nothing happened.

    What else should I do?

    This is why media player is crap. Wake up microsoft , the fact that people have to do this should be a great clue to what to do with your player in the future. How hard is it to fix it, really? Apple seems to be able to do this. Do the people at micorsoft that work on this just sit around and do nothing all day???

    This is really useful if your XBox refuses to update the videos in its media library and nothing you do seems to work.

    If WMP is still not adding files, it might be because they're marked as "Hidden" on the filing system. Files copied from out from an iPod, for instance, are hidden by default.

    Right click on the top of your music folder and untick the "Hidden" box, then make sure you select the option to apply to all files and subfolders when asked.

    Great, thanks. Works fine with Media Player 12 on Vista too.

    Gotta a PS3. It detects the Media Player Sharing device (my PC), but when navigating thru folders on PS3, it says no titles. This started to happen after I renamed a folder on my PC.

    Any ideas as how to reset Devices list on the sharing list in Media Player in Vista...???
