So, after hearing a lot about xbmc, i decided to install it and test it out. I heard XBMC was a great way to stream content from one computer to another, and thats what Im after.

So heres what I did so far:

I installed it on my Mac.
I installed in on my Win7 PC.

Under video source in Mac, I added my huge folder of videos.

Under video source in Windows, I added the Upnp source that appeared to be some sort of XBMC server, and i assumed this was my mac xbmc running.

But then none of my videos appeared, and i have no clue what to do from here.

So..... how do i stream videos from my mac to my pc using xbmc?

thanks!
You added your sources but have you 'set content' for them so they get scanned into your library?

Have a read here is you havent and further down on it there is an explanation on that:
