Windows Forum / Windows Media / Player / May 2008PS3 removed from Media Share will not reappear
Hi. I configured WMP 11 running on Vista to stream files to my PS3. The PS3 appeared in my Media Share as an unknown device. I mistakenly right clicked the unknown device and selected the "Remove from list" option. Now whatever I do, I cannot get WMP to recognise by PS3 ie the Unkown device will not appear as an option to allow. I notice that the "Remove from list" option has a Security Centre icon next to it. I had a look in here but am unable to locate an option to place the PS3 (unknown device) back into the list. I would be grateful if anyone has got any ideas. Thanks Hi Phill, I have the exact same problem as you. I stupidly removed the icon from the list and I have never seen it since. Don't bother with the system restore I tried and it didn't work. I have also tried every other method that I could find and I still cannot get the bloody thing to work. It has driven me insane for the last couple of months. I am contemplating paying someone to try and sort it out for me. I am running XP, which shouldn't be too much different from you. Let me know if you manage to fix the problem. Good luck Scott > Hi. > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Thanks Skoot, I think there may be an issue with the registry settings. WMP does it's own security and lists devices which it will permit (as defined by the user). Try this link http://blogs.msdn.com/alan_ludwig/default.aspx and this section within that page Windows Media Connect can’t see my DMR Very thorough and explains registry settings, etc. Haven't had time to run through it all yet but would be worth a try. Would certainly allow you to understand all the issues! Cheers, Phill > Hi Phill, > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > > > Thanks Cheers for this Phill, I'll have a look when I can.

Complete reinstall of Vista sorted it. Everything appears to work (which is where I was before I removed the PS3 by mistake). I suspect that there is some security setting (as indicated by the shield in the context menu) somewhere which is not publicised...security through obscurity. However, it seems silly that it is not possible to reinstate a device which has been removed without a reinstall. I have to say that I have seen several threads on this issue and no-one has found a solution...so good luck. Phill > Cheers for this Phill, I'll have a look when I can.
