Hi,

I have just completed the setup of my homenetwork.

Connections as follows:

2 x windows 7 pc
Samsung BD-D5100 blu-ray connected via netwrok cable to router
Samsung LA40D550 LCD connected via network cable to router

I am struglling to use the allshar capability, neither of my samsung devices see my pc. i can also only see my tv in my network map.

Please help.
 
i use a duoplus 300wr router.

both devices connect to internet without any problems
 
i take it you want to watch movies or play music from your pc on your samsung devices?

you need a media server application running on the pc's, i use ps3 media server mainly because it's free and also because i can stream to my ps3
this will allow you to stream via allshare, works on my samsung galaxy s2
 
Or run the clunky Allshare software on your pc.

Download from Samsung website.
 
i have the clunky all share software on my pc.

When i look at the software, i can see both my blu ray and tv is connected.

I cannot see these devices on my network map. All my sharing options are correct and im also not able to see the devices on network sharing centre.

my windows firewall is switch off.

Im :wtf: dont know what to try any more
 
If I remember correctly you have to specify which content you want to share to which device as well.

Allshare was just a pain in the end for me as it would work for a while and then disconnect.

Rather use Serviio.

Agreed, the Samsung AllShare software for Windows is terrible. Serviio is probably the slickest, most compatible with Samsung hw DLNA server for Windows atm.

My media server of choice is Plex Media Server, but the (recently introduced) DLNA server functionality is not ready for prime time yet.

i cant get serviio to work....

Manage to get the crappy allshare software to work once... restarted my pc and now not seen on tv again!

HELP
 
What do you mean you can't get Serviio to work? What's the problem exactly?
 
Serviio does not see my devices

refresh is greyed out
 
is there someone out there that has succesfully connected samsung tv and blu ray to network and managed to stream videos etc from pc on these devices?

Please help? I am at a dead end!

Thanks
 
contacting samsung for help is just about like asking a todler for help :wtf:
 
Did you start the Serviio service?

And yes, I do use Serviio to stream to my PS51D550 telly with no issues.

Yes I have started serviio.

It shows server running in green, but no devices in the list below...

How do I paste screen shots here?
 
Yes it is enabled, as I said I was fiddling around with the crappy allshare software and it just appeared on my tv. Streamed video, mp3 etc, then restarted everything to confirm it will work when I switch on tomorrow, but no luck.

I don't use static ip adress, but both the blu ray and tv is set to auto detect.

This has to work, the allshare is the reason I bought both th tv and blu-ray as my other tv is a older series 4 to which I connected the bluray!
 
Sounds like something is wrong with your PC. Do you have another PC or laptop that you can install Serviio on?
 
My pc is part of homegroup... Must I be the main homegroup pc?
