Using the Media Collector Server Status
By default, the HP Media Collector pane of the HP MediaSmart Server tab in the Windows Home
Server Console has information about the Media Collector along with a
Media Collector Status
link. After the feature has been configured, the pane shifts to display status information about the
Media Collector.
The information in the Windows Home Server Console relates to the Client Media Collector
Status Tool but there are some differences. The status on the server is largely based on client
status files being copied to the server. This means that if there is a connectivity problem between
the client and the server, then no status information about that client is available.
The status page displays a line for each computer in the home network that the server knows
about. Computers may be missing if they are Macs and/or if they do not have MediaSmart Server
software installed on them. For each computer listed, a status is listed.
Another important concept is that media collection executes on a per computer and per user basis.
So, if one computer in the home network has a single user while a second computer has two users,
the second computer’s status will be a composite value based on the different per user status
values for that client. In any case, users should expect to see status values such as the following.
