I am having an issue with windows media player 12 and my music library disappearing.  All of my music around 11,000 files will suddenly dissapear from the music library after the pc has been asleep.  The music is stored on a Windows Home Server that my user account has full access to, if i stop and restart the windows media player network service the library will rebuild itself and show all the music.  The folder that the music is in is shown to be a monitored folder, but when I put the pc to sleep when I go to work / bed then wake it back up I am forced to restart the sharing service to even be able to see my library. Has anyone else had this problem or seen anything similar to what I am describing?

Sounds like this:

Thanks for the link. I'm going to try their solution, I had a feeling that it may have been something to do with media sharing. I'll post again in a week or so if it works out well.

Well not even a day later and its still having the issue.  I tried what the thread suggested and turned off media sharing and the star ratings. It seemed to work for a while but even after listening to media player for over an hour. When I closed it and then re-opened media player it tells me there are no items in my library.  The network paths work propery and I can access all the music using the Other Libraries > Server (which happens to be the whs name) just fine. Any other thoughts?
