SOLVED: Windows 7 Media Player "play to" doesn't work with WDTV Live and McAfee firewall

editorial posted by c_prompt in windows

It took me days to figure out a solution to this, so I'm posting for others who run across this issue. McAfee support (which stinks) didn't know how to solve it and I didn't find a solution anywhere on the Web.

In order to allow WDTV Live to use the "play to" feature with Windows Media Player, you must check the Enable UDP tracking button within Firewall - Smart Advice and Advanced Settings.
