Videos which are stored on my linkstation that stream to my xbox do not show the artwork like they did when I had the media on my laptop and streamed it using windows media player. Now when I add these videos to my windows media player library to attempt to stream to my xobx using windows media player instead of the built in twonkyvision media server function on the linkstation I get this message from windows media player. It tells me that the media was added but they cannot be shared becasue they are on another computer and the sharing settings could not be changed. That other computer is the linstation, any ideas why this is happening? Thanks

That is weird, is your firmware up to date?  I wonder if this would happen with Playstation 3 considering it is a DLNA certified device.

The strange thing is that before I had a linkstation live I had a linkstation gigabit and of course that one does not have the media servier option so I had to stream the videos from my computer, but the same problem would happen. I was unable to stream anything that was on the NAS, only items that were attached to my laptop. So what I did was that I purchased a 500gb usb drive to match the 500gb on the Linkstation Gigabit and I streamed the items from the usb drive and just used the NAS to backup the USB. I got tired of having to have my laptop on so I purchased the Linsktation Live and its still not able to stream using my laptopn. I have asked other people and it seems they are able to. It has to be a windows thing thought, because I can't stream using windows media player, Zune software or even the Windows Media Center extender option. Very strange....
