Hi there, I have been playing with Windows 10 built-in media streaming service. My music files are in the shared Music folder on the Windows 10 PC. Another Windows PC on the same home network can play those files without any issue. For the playback I use Windows Media Player on the other PC.
The issue is that my music does not play back on an Android phone, using BubbleUPnP. I can see the Windows 10 machine as UPnP/DLNA library, but can't see the contents of the Music media share.
For comparison, I have a NAS with shared music folder, and I can play back all music on Windows or Android from there without any issue.
Why am I unable to browse and play music files from a Windows 10 using a smartphone?

I tried with VLC installed on the smartphone, same issue. It does not see anything in the Music folder of the Windows 10 machine. It can just see the folders' name.
I tested it on another PC running Windows 7, and it works. I have no idea why it does not work on Win10.
I believe that you need to install NET framework 1.0 W10 has a feature that turns NET 1 off if it is not explicitly used. At this point it has to be manually re added.
EDIT: as for the server side you may need to research how to make the service utilize the NET1 framework and also set up authentication schemes properly.

Hmm... W10 brought more restrictions so, maybe you just need to enable full (any user) access to these folders/files... and for (Android) software allow access to use these folders/files as well.
If it were a problem accessing a directory via the SMB protocol on top of NTFS that should be the answer but I ran into this problem half this exact problem with DLNA on a NAS and WIN10 would not access it but WIN7 would. Solution was to enable NET framework 1 on the win10 clients. I can't imagine your situation being that different.

I tried it on another Win10 machine (Home edition) and it works fine. I am still struggling with Windows 10 Pro.
You have full privileges in Home Edition... .
You said you see folders in Pro but can't see the files there ... this means probably you have rights to list folders but no rights for files itself. Check the permissions given for these folders/files.
Are you having trouble with the media server or the clients that you are trying to hook up?

I think it is the media server on the Windows 10 machine. All clients work fine with other media servers, even with another Windows 10 media server.
Never mind, this is not my primary media source. It was just bugging me. Perhaps some antivirus software or firewall issue.

O.K.
I would like to figure the problem out just because I am a GEEK. Is it the WIN10 pro that is not working as a streamer?

Win 10 pro networking needs a bit of setting up.
1/ Active directory light services needs to be on.
2/ SMB file sharing needs to be on.
3/ In windows explorer you need to "give access to" the folders you want.
The first time I tried setting it up took a day to get it working.
The reason why it took so long was I didnt restart the pc to install changes !
