I may be onto something...

I've done a complete uninstall and reinstall of Whitebear, and left the
ports as default and it still didn't work.  I can browse the tree on my
WD HD TV Live box but cannot play anything.

HOWEVER...my media files are all on a NAS server (Synology) and NOT on
the local PC that is running Squeeze & Whitebear.  I changed Squeeze to
look at a directory on the local PC instead and it worked.

The network share on the NAS unit has read privileges to the Guest
account and I can access the share from another PC without giving a
username/password to log in, so I would have thought that anything
should be able to access that share.

Do you think it's therefore an access privileges problem in my setup or
will Whitebear only work with files ont he PC it is running on?

The Synology has its own internal DLNA server and that serves files OK
to the WD box, but then again it's serving them from itself rather than
from somewhere else on the network.
