DLNA - how to use?

td1 · 2010-05-04 11:12:11

I've just bought a DLNA-enabled blu-ray player, and want to access films etc. stored on my pc. Can I do this directly, and how can I find out if the pc is DLNA-capable?

You will likely need to install a DLNA server on the computer. Are you using Windows, Linux or a Mac?

Windows Media player should do it for you - my version does.

TVersity is another one I use.

Player says that "no server found". What do I need to do now?
