Cannot access My Media + Poor Logitech Customer Service

[DaveElson]

The name of my PC is Dave-PC, and that's the Hostname under the info tab in LMS.
My Stuff is simply the media library name I gave to LMS.
So how do I deal with this Hostname, what should I change / add to get it to recognize it?
But to reiterate, under the player tab it says player not found.

I'm a bit puzzled by "My Stuff" your Radio doesn't connect to a folder. What have you got for your Hostname (see pic) you should see your computer name, not a folder.

Make a note of YOUR server IP address (see picture above)

On the Radio> Settings > Advanced > Networking > Remote Libraries > Add New Library, put your IP address here. Anything?

[DaveElson]

currently nothing shown, and while I can put the first 2 sets of 3 digits in, I can't see how to complete it, if that's what I should do (sorry - networking is not quite my cup of tea).
Edit: Unless I can add the server somewhere in software? On the player it looks like I can only enter digits in threes?

My IP I would put as 192 168 001 139

I put it in (thanks) but still cannot connect.

If you've entered your Server IP address and pressed the big knob, do you get the option to "Connect to this Library"? If you press the big knob again what happens? if it says cannot connect, then I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. maybe someone else can think of something.

Sure you're Radio is connected to your own network, not connected to a neighbours network with the same SSID?

[DaveElson]

I do get the option to try and connect to it, then I get the same message (Problem Connecting).
I am on the correct network, it is ours and my computer is on the same network. I will call Logitech again on Monday (fortunately I'm off next week, have time to harass them
I do appreciate your help, I'm sure I'll get there eventually.
Cheers.

Nothing else to offer, just want to clarify a point I may have misunderstood. Is this where you added "My Stuff" (see pic below) if yes, then you are correct with "Connecting to my stuff", sorry.

[DaveElson]

Yes, it's just the name I gave it. It's a folder on the c drive.
I thought I may have had an answer - I went into network sharing center and saw that media sharing was switched off. I changed it but to no avail. I then re-entered my IP address and this time it went straight to My Stuff, but still did not connect. Previously it tried to connect to the IP number.

Yes, that's how it should be, if I enter my server IP address as you have done, then I get connecting to Desktop, which is correct.

BTW, can you play anything on your Radio at the moment, Radio stations, etc.?

Media Sharing is just a Windows thing, it allows computers on the same network to share media files, nothing to do with LMS, I keep it switched off.
