I've installed Mezzmo 5.0.4 on a Windows 7 Pro machine; media files are accessed as shares from a Windows XP machine.

I’ve come across three oddities with the web interface:


1. When I access the web interface using an IP address:

http://192.168.0.28:53168/web/login?user=guest

I get the login page, and I can log in as expected.

When I use the computer’s name instead:

http://Peacock:53168/web/login?user=guest

I get the same login page, but my attempt to log in with the very same user name and password is met with the response, “You must enter a valid user name and password.”

What’s wrong? If there’s some reason we have to use a hard-coded IP address, we can... but I’d rather not.


2. On hover, the “hamburger icon” at the upper right of the web pages shows the title “Settings”; but it just returns to the library home page.


3. What does checking "Administrator rights” for a web login do? I can’t find anything different.
