DLNA and PC.

August 28th, 2013

Well, I tried everything.. Connected HDD to LED-Failed.
Connected iTouch to LED-Failed.
Only FAT file system is working and it will take time for me to move 4-5TB of contents and format it.
SO I was wondering about DLNA stuff.
How does it work?
I got feature on TV
DLNA Yes
But to how make it work?
Thanks!

Answer #1
Use XBMC. You need a wifi network to make it work.

Answer #3
Not sure what you meant on “Only FAT file system is working and it will take time for me to move 4-5TB of contents and format it. “. DLNA, allows you to watch movies from your computer via your tv. That is, if your TV has built in wifi and your connected to your wifi or you have their USB Wifi which allows the TV to connect to wifi, and again your wifi. Then you just use PS3 Media Server (That’s what I use but you can use other DLNA applications in the computer, PS3 Media Server Imo works the best.). Then you go the input of your TV, and it should say DLNA, and you will see PS3 Media Server (unless your using a diff one you will see that one)
Answer #4
To use Wifi you will need Sony’s rip off wireless dongle. Best bet would be a straight cat5 cable connection to your wireless router.
You will need Media Server software.
Windows comes with a basic one which is good enough for music and photos but for video it is pants.
Alternatives:
Sony recommends Serviio, free but needs Java installed.

PS3 Media Server, as mentioned above, also needs Java.

Mezzmo – good if a little clunky at times. Search Apps to find version 2.4.2 as 2.4.5 crack does not work.
