It can see DVR-MS files but not WTV files, so if Win7 is being used, you're out of luck.

Your not out of luck. Just right click on the wtv file and hit convert to dvrms

I do not have that option. Did you have to install something?

Maybe it is a windows 7 ultimate thing?

Nope, that's what I'm running.

edit: searching around google, it looks like it should be there, but I just don't have it. I can't even find WTVConverter anywhere on my system.

edit2: I found it in /windows/ehome/wtvconverter.exe so I wonder why I don't have a menu option. Maybe the recordings have to be on the C drive.

I do it on network shares all the time. Anyway, this might help some who have WDTV Lives and watch recorded tv from win7

The folder.jpg thing only works for attached USB drives, not network shares. It bums me out as well.

Mine show up wonderfully over network shares.

It seems like it either will work as seeing the computer as a media server, or as a network share, but only one or the other. If one way works the other doesn't and it changes randomly. I'd prefer it to work all the time with the network share so the thumbnails work but for now it's stuck in server mode.
I'm going to try and flash the b-rad firmware that is floating around it looks like it solves alot of the factory bugs.

Turn on netbios on the computer you are streaming from. (Windows 7 only turns it on if it detects a legacy device) I would only have the file browser show up sometimes also, after I turned that on it shows up every time.
