Tick won't stay
where to begin?
Like to smash this
Reason:
I can hoike a HDMI cable from my Nvidia Card
into the back of my Viera Panasonic TV
However I am unable to play
a stored movie on my HDD via ethernet
despite there being a MAC and IP address .
Not good
Windows 10
can it be done
From my L32G20 manual
- AVCHD and DivX files are not supported by DLNA, but can be played by Media Player
Lets do it
or we handover to Plex, Serviio, or e.g DivX Player
where I can only play Mpeg2 -- which sux as files are massive
I'm a little confused. Where are the movies stored that you want to play and what are you trying to play them with?
My setup is:
Movies are stored on a Network Attached Storage (NAS) hard drive. All that does is just share the folders and files on my network.
My computer actually plays the movies using the Kodi media player. It plays the movies on my HDTV via an HDMI cable.
My HDTV is not a smart tv, it is not connected to my network in any way, it just gets the video/audio from the computer.
Kodi has Ethernet remote control capability built in so I usually use an Android app on my phone (Yatse) to control the Kodi program running on my computer. My Android phone connects to my network via WiFi.
Not sure exactly what setup you are trying to make work, but maybe using Kodi on the computer might be your answer:
Kodi | Open Source Home Theatre Software

Hi, thanks for having a go
Movies are on my HDD,
using windows media player
( used to work in win 7 as a media server )
a good example is this video:
now you can't save that tick as per OP
this where it all goes belly-up
my HDTV is smart-ish (* viera ) and is connected via ethernet
Kodi is a fine product, but not a media server as such
UPnP/Server - KodiAlthough it is UPnP media server and not DLNA.Kodi has a built-in UPnP A/V media server (UPnP-server). Originally added to help share files to other Kodi instances as a UPnP media source, Kodi's UPnP server also enables you to share media with other UPnP-clients on your local network.
ooh that's quite interesting, will have a closer look then ..UPnP/Server - Kodi
Although it is UPnP media server and not DLNA.
its all about connecting to a found DEVICE that can be recognised
then configured.. .. thanks
