I also discovered Nero 7 which comes with many DVD drives includes Nero Mediahome, is also a Upnp media server. It triggered a copy of a virus scan that was installed with the system back before Microsoft had a service pack to correct an exploit in the Upnp. Uninstalling that program allowed all media sharing functions to start to work correctly.

After getting the sharing working all that is needed to do is locating streaming media and install the codecs that are needed and optimizing the system. Tversity has direct links to more transcoders than I may need:

• ffdshow - for MPEG2/4, H.264, Divx, Xvid, AAC, FLAC, Vorbis, FLV, and many more
• Haali Media Splitter - for better MP4 and H.264 support and for OGG/OGM and Matroska.
• Real Alternative - for Real audio and video.
• Quicktime Alternative - for MOV.
• MP4 Source/Splitter* - for better MOV support.
• FLV Splitter* - required for FLV playback (a more recent version with support for FLV4/VP62 is here - courtesy of videohelp.com).
• AC3 Filter - recommended for better AC3 support (in which case AC3 should be disbaled in ffdshow).

Some of these include locations of streaming video http://stage6.divx.com/rss/videos/order:rating any rss feed can be added in a few moments to TVersity library.
