Likely so. I'm guessing using Indexing is an easy way to get it to update in the MS libraries. They assume that you'll be using it (since most people wouldn't know enough to turn it off anyway).

Yeah nothing made it update until I either set up media center or turned on indexing and I'm guessing it was indexing.

It didn't matter if I added folders to the existing ones, added files to existing folders, nothing made it work.

More on-topic, doing a quick search yields a note about Zune's "monitored" folders. Have you tried adding anything to the existing folders that you had when you installed (say you have a /atelo/music/wowsounds/) and dropping a file directly in there?

Yeah it was turned off for the SSD. It indexes file types and selected folders, and you can also change the location of the stored index so I've moved it. I think that's all I can do with it.

I'm guessing it uses the indexing service to monitor the libraries and if you have it turned off, it doesn't work. Apparently nobody has figured this out in 5 years.

I also installed a codec pack that lets media center play .mkv files for HD. The only problem is, you can't pause video when streaming with media player but you can when using zune.

I recommend melting down your xbox and enjoying the flames it makes.

Oh, I didn't try Media center first because I assumed I didn't have it, even though it was just not selected in the windows features section. When searching for the solution to the zune software problem, I found just as many of the same issues with media center.

Just sharing video and music with the xbox. The Zune software was the one listed on the xbox site for accomplishing that. The problem is that the software won't update anything new you add to it, and the problem, as it seems, happens in media center as well in some cases, which is why I haven't tried it.

I have never used the software, but I'm a little confused by what you are trying to accomplish. Why not just use Media Center?
