I know its a "Console" question but its really more of a Media Center Extender question!

I can access the data through the Video/Pictures options, but not through the Media Center App.

Also I can only see the videos that are directly on the Videos folder on my WHS, but not any of the subfolders. Same thing in my Laptop, if I connect to my WHS through Media Player it will only show the videos on Videos but not any other sub-folder, but if I open Media Center I can then connect to server and see all the folders.
