Selected 'Choose folders to share'. Did not respond, no folders shown for selection. Tried Chrome, Firefox and even IE to no avail. Waste of time - I'll stick with PS3 Media Server thanks.

Couldn't get to the admin page using IE or Firefox. Wasted my time trying to troubleshoot so I uninstalled. XPSP3

I find it problematic that this media server is not a stand aloner application. I am not interested in Google Desktop, but very interested in the media server.

use winamp orb

Not bad for Beta, needs alot more polishing, more options (folder management is horrid). Looking forward to future version!

BBwonder, that must be your computer cause I use Chrome as my default browser and it works perfectly.

After spending several minutes trying to understand why I couldnt view the admin webpage (using Google's own browser - Chrome) - I tried it using Internet explorer which worked first time!!! How did this app Pass Quality control??

For the longest time I was trying to figure out what was slowing down my computer. I rarely ever turn it off. I checked task manager. Google Media Scanner which is a process run via Google Media Server had hogged up 700+ MB of memory!!!!!!!! Can you say memory leak!

Why no Linux version?

Still buggy - Does not work consistently! Gave 4 star for good concept.

Some information on what to expect, and how this works would be nice. It appears to be opening every media file on my PC atm and taking up a LOT of CPU usage. The admin page doesn't open, which I can only hope will eventually work when the indexing is done. I simply wanted to use this to view my Picasa albums via my consoles, etc It would be nice if it had given me the option to configure it prior to it going mad indexing all it can get it's hands on! I'll leave it go for a few hours but so far I'm not impressed.

Awesome! I am PS3 and it works well. Very user friendly and has changed my home entertainment for the better! I would recommend to use a similar Picasa search engine for consistent media discovery - but a whole lot better than dealing with that windows Media..
