Overlaycallouts In Thumbnails view, the name of the file is shown on a black overlay at the bottom of the thumbnail. When you move your pointer over the thumbnail, this overlay scrolls up, covers the thumbnail, and reveals clickable buttons. One button lets you select the files, and the other opens a detail panel with more options.

Podcasting support through RSS You can use the RSS feature of the asset library to set up podcasting for audio or video files that are stored in Asset Library. Site users can subscribe to the RSS feed for the library to receive new content as it is added via podcast. To learn how to add audio or video to a newsfeed post, see Add features to a newsfeed post.


Digital asset content types The Asset Library is pre-configured to support content types for image, video, and audio files. These content types include columns that enable you to track metadata that is specific to rich media assets. To learn more about content types, see Introduction to content types and content type publishing


Automatic metadata extraction for image files When you upload image files to an Asset Library, any existing metadata for the file is extracted and promoted to any available corresponding columns in the library. Automatic metadata extraction is supported for the following image file types: BMP, GIF, ICO, JPEG, PNG, and TIFF.


Occasionally (it seems related to crashes on the win 10 box, or disk failures) the media server is put into a state where new files in shared folders in the video library do not appear in the WD TV Live (the client) video list. New folders DO appear, just not the files. Note: new files in existing folders (that is, folders with media files that do appear) do not appear.


If I change the file name of the file that does not appear in a meaningless way (make 'a' 'A') the file appears in the client.

If I move the file to a different sub folder, the file appears in the client.


I have used the WMP 'organize content' option ; does not affect the list in the client.

I have dropped and re-added the folders to the win 10 video library; dnatlitc

I have stopped and restarted windows media player network sharing service & UPnP device host; dnatlitc

I have stopped and restarted all hardware components; dnatlitc


Problem is still there. And it seems to be getting 'worse', although it's difficult to say an indexing function that doesn't index functions 'worse' in some circumstances. I used to be able to include new content files into the media server list by moving the content files to a different folder; now, this has no effect.


The only way to get a new content file to appear in the DLNA client is to change the file name to something else; just adding a blank or underscore is sufficient. It will then appear in the client list. If I change the filename back to what it originally was, both filenames appear in the client list, one link 'working' (the one with the current filename) and one link that leads to a 'no content' error.


It would be helpful if someone could describe the process where filenames (and the file metadata) get into Windows Library, how they get updated, relative to the same data getting into the server filesystem. There seems to be some caching going on that is not well behaved. Whatever process is involved in watching the filesystem for changes is not working correctly.


As the problem description specifies, the relevant folders have been included in the library. If I navigate the Library using File Explorer, the content files are displayed on the PC being used as a media server. Some of the content files (as specified in the problem description) are not displayed in DLNA clients.


I had a similar problem and it was related to me relocating the libraries (video, pictures, music) to a different drive other than the C: drive. Many people use separate drives to store their videos, music, pictures, etc. I had relocated my libraries to a D: drive right after a Windows 10 clean installation. I had never kept any library files on the C: drive. When I enabled Media Streaming, the library folders on the D: drive appeared on my clients, but the files did not appear. In Windows Media Player, I also added the D: drive locations by right clicking on the libraries and selecting "manage library." Still, no files showed up on the client. What finally solved the problem was to relocate the libraries (video, pictures, music) back to the C: drive, and then relocated them a second time back to the D: drive. You do NOT have to move all your files, just relocate back and forth without moving the files. I will use the Video library as an example below:


The files should now appear in your client. Once the files appear, you will be able to "manage libraries" again in Windows Media Player to different subfolders. In my case, I ended up adding a couple subfolders on D: in the WMP "manage libraries" dialog, and removing D:\Videos root folder.


I think I figured this out. Was having same problem. Got new computer. Set everything up identical to old one but only video files were not showing on my DLNA linked TV - everything showed up fine - pictures, music. Set everything up exactly the same though. As above I did move the Pictures Videos and Music folders to my D drive. The DLNA linked tv showed the folder for videos but it was empty. It did show my videos from my Pictures folder though (even though I unchecked the show videos from pictures folder checkbox somewhere else in the setup but never mind that).


What I finally noticed was under the folder properties, under Security tab, my Videos folder was missing one of the Groups of users that both of the other folders had. Why? No idea. Do the same thing twice get a different result. That's Microsoft. But ultimately I added the Group that the other folders had (think it was "Users" - it only had Authenticated Users, SYSTEM, and Administrators) and bam it showed up along with everything else in my DLNA linked TV.


Hope this helps someone. Can't believe of all the posts I have seen about this very issue not a single solution showing to do this was posted, even by Microsoft "experts." Maybe my issue was different than everyone elses.


This specification describes the structure of executable (image) files and object files under the Windows family of operating systems. These files are referred to as Portable Executable (PE) and Common Object File Format (COFF) files, respectively.

This document specifies the structure of executable (image) files and object files under the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems. These files are referred to as Portable Executable (PE) and Common Object File Format (COFF) files, respectively. The name "Portable Executable" refers to the fact that the format is not architecture specific.


The following list describes the Microsoft PE executable format, with the base of the image header at the top. The section from the MS-DOS 2.0 Compatible EXE Header through to the unused section just before the PE header is the MS-DOS 2.0 Section, and is used for MS-DOS compatibility only.


The PE file header consists of a Microsoft MS-DOS stub, the PE signature, the COFF file header, and an optional header. A COFF object file header consists of a COFF file header and an optional header. In both cases, the file headers are followed immediately by section headers.


The MS-DOS stub is a valid application that runs under MS-DOS. It is placed at the front of the EXE image. The linker places a default stub here, which prints out the message "This program cannot be run in DOS mode" when the image is run in MS-DOS. The user can specify a different stub by using the /STUB linker option.


At location 0x3c, the stub has the file offset to the PE signature. This information enables Windows to properly execute the image file, even though it has an MS-DOS stub. This file offset is placed at location 0x3c during linking.


After the MS-DOS stub, at the file offset specified at offset 0x3c, is a 4-byte signature that identifies the file as a PE format image file. This signature is "PE\0\0" (the letters "P" and "E" followed by two null bytes).


At the beginning of an object file, or immediately after the signature of an image file, is a standard COFF file header in the following format. Note that the Windows loader limits the number of sections to 96.


Every image file has an optional header that provides information to the loader. This header is optional in the sense that some files (specifically, object files) do not have it. For image files, this header is required. An object file can have an optional header, but generally this header has no function in an object file except to increase its size.


Note that the size of the optional header is not fixed. The SizeOfOptionalHeader field in the COFF header must be used to validate that a probe into the file for a particular data directory does not go beyond SizeOfOptionalHeader. For more information, see COFF File Header (Object and Image).


The NumberOfRvaAndSizes field of the optional header should also be used to ensure that no probe for a particular data directory entry goes beyond the optional header. In addition, it is important to validate the optional header magic number for format compatibility.


The first eight fields of the optional header are standard fields that are defined for every implementation of COFF. These fields contain general information that is useful for loading and running an executable file. They are unchanged for the PE32+ format.


Each data directory gives the address and size of a table or string that Windows uses. These data directory entries are all loaded into memory so that the system can use them at run time. A data directory is an 8-byte field that has the following declaration:
