Hi, 

After trying to get the UPnP server in 7.6 beta to work and failing, I
have installed Whitebear 2.0.1.1433. It's a *great* thing! I am running
it on Windows Home Server and by SBS is 7.6 r32302.

Just to explain my setup: I have a server machine on which I have
installed SBS and Whitebear (running as a service). My music is mostly
there. I have a Win7 laptop, on which I also have some music, which I
want to use as the control for the Squeezebox 3 through WMP12. In the
main library folder on the server, I have a file shortcut which links
to the laptop's Music folder, so that SBS is able to scan the laptop. 

Whitebear mostly works: I can see the SBS library in WMP12, I can "play
to" that music to the Squeezebox and play it locally on the laptop---for
the files physically located both on the server and on the laptop. Since
the laptop has all the server folders in its own WMP library, I can play
the files physically on the server (i.e. directly from the WMP12
library, not whitebear) to the Squeezebox.

What *fails* is "playing to" the files located physically *on the
laptop* directly to the Squeezebox.  The server thinks it's playing for
5 second and then it stops. As I have said: playing the same files from
the Whitebear library is actually OK. Both SBS and Whitebear are
running as services under the same username as the laptop user, so they
do have access to the files.

Now, it seems as if there is a bug in the latest versions of SBS 7.6
which prevents me from browsing the the laptop files through the music
folder; I've filed it at bugzilla. Could this be the problem here
also?

If not, anything I should be trying? Thanks for this great thing!
