Media Server is set up, shared folders for Video, Music and Pictures are configured and the Server seems to run correctly so far, BUT it offers no files for streaming.
The Media Server is up and running, the underlying services are OK, no errors show up in the event logs.
I ran the Powershell tasks to correct possible account issues:
- Add-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -Identity MediaAdmin$ -MemberOf Administrators
- Install-ADServiceAccount MediaAdmin
... but still no effort.
The log shows stuff like:

I recognized that the index at C:\Users\MediaAdmin$\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player\CurrentDatabase_400.wmdb is created but at a static size of 896 KB. Even if deleted and recreated by the Media Server it stays at that size. I have some thousands of music and video files.
To me it seems that the Media Server is not indexing the shared folders.
Any clues?
Thanks,
Michael
