A question for the computer gurus please.

I want to stream video from my Windows 7 PC to my Samsung BD-P3600 BluRay player.

I have a wired Ethernet connection which connects to internet (Youtube) no problem but, although it sees my PC, it cannot see a "shared folder"

Can anybody advise please?

I've set up the Free Proggy " Serviio" for doing just that .. sending movies from a PC to a Sony BluRAY via a pair of home plug types .. works very well ..
.. worth a go ..

eh wot !! :-D download it .... run the installerm reboot to start the serviio service .

Then go into the serviio console just set the Video folder path to your folder where your movies are.

Will take a short while to up date the library with you files if you have a lot .

Then fire up your DVD and use the menu system to find the Serviio proggy via your network .


Done!! :gmc:

PS one proviso! your movies do have to be in a format your DVD can understand and play ??

Mpeg/ AVI/ divx ?? MKV ??

hmm... could be a few things .. could get a bit more complicated ..

Does serviio console list any devices ( ie your bluray?) that will show the actual network is working ok .

The firewall either in Windoze or in you router could be blocking.

Check the bluray's IP address is showing corectly in serviio..

have a read here

there a fair bit of help on the servio forum
when I set this up all I did was just load in and it all worked ??

OK, thanks for the extra help Chris :) It's much appreciated.

I have now solved the problem though :lol:

I was calling my Shared folder "videos" and there is already another folder on my PC with the same name, albeit on a different drive so my shared folder was being seen as a network resource called "videos2"

As soon as I told the BluRay player to look for "videos2" all worked properly.

Thanks again for the help though. I'll keep Serviio and perhaps have another look in the future.
