What is that strange media source?
It looks like a bull's eye and also I get the 'unauthorised' in the end of the name. Why do i get that?

I have all NMT application started, and this one is above the myihome app..

This is the Windows media sharing icon - and it means that your PC running windows have media sharing turned on - you can turn it on/off through windows mediaplayer 11.

All the PCH access to your WMP library will make the word unauthorized disappear.

Open WMP and goto library sharing and allow access.

You need to "Authorize" the PCH as a device in WMP11. Open WMP11 and click on Tools/Options menu. Choose Library tab, then configure sharing button and then highlight the PCH and click "Allow". This will change it to "Authorized" on the PCH.....

I have the same behavior... 50% of the time. But even when it shows "unauthorized", it will allow me to access the files.

Try it then ive also had it show unauthorized and allow me access. Whether that is related to some genrall network setting in Vista such as media sharing I wouldnt like to say. In fact it may be that as ong as you allow the connection in WMP11 that the unauthorised comes from Vista network settngs.
Anyway if it plays and it should do if youve allowed it access in WMP11 library your away.

I don't think it's just a "Vista" issue. I'm running Windows XP home. Must be a WMP11 issue I think...

RE: What is that strange media source?
I found this extremely annoying so i just disabled the service entirely on my os.

goto start > run type services.msc

Look for Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service.
Stop service and set to disabled.
