I have an old Windows 10 laptop which im using to hold my music library.
All the music is stored on an external drive connected to the laptop.
I right click the Music folder under Documents and move the location to the external drive folder which holds all my music (this is a root folder of many other folders i.e. E:\Music but i could have E:\Images which i dont share).
When i now click Music folder in Explorer it takes me directly to my music.
I enabled Media Streaming Options and can see my devices listed (following this article https://pureinfotech.com/turn-pc-dlna-media-server-windows-10/)
The remaining settings i left to default.
I turn on an external device and navigate to equivalent area to browse for music (so this could be an app on my phone, TV etc) - all on the same network.
All the devices show the Media Library folder but if i go into All Music or All Artists its empty.
I turned off the firewall and same issue.
Thinking it may be sharing or permissions i went to the HDD holding the music and shared it and changed permissions to Everyone for the single folder.
I have restarted the computer a couple of times too.
I can go to another PC and see the folder and contents i.e. in the run command i can type \myLaptop\Music and the folders with music files are found.
Am i missing a step to enable this to be available on other devices?
