Hi all,

I have a Dell PC which hosts video content. It is connected over wi-fi homegroup to a number of different laptops which stream the content from the PC. I have a Folder on the PC containing 12 VLC files but when I access the folder from one of the connected laptops via either File Explorer or XBMC all I see are 7 files. 5 of the files simply don't show even though I have gone directly to the Dell PC and verified they are there and even played each one for a few seconds to ensure they are not corrupt or anything.

How can 5 files simply not display at all??

I'm baffled.

Ben
