Since the beginning of the year (off & on), I've been trying to get my movies from my machine onto the TV.
Started off trying to set up an old box I had laying 'round - so I could watch from, record & play DVD's if needed - & trying all different programs.
Looked into dedicated hardware like BeyondWiz, Popcorn, WDTV etc
...so much reading, I was going quietly insane!
About 3-4 weeks ago, I read about our TV having this DLNA feature. So after more reading, it led me here
Downloaded it, & only just (last couple days) got 'round to having a play.
Gotta say...I'm impressed
Had it up 'n' running and watching basically straight away.
Had a few minor hiccups, like the grey bars when the picture doesn't fill the screen - cutting out the last minute or 2 - FF not working. But found all the solutions right here
Don't understand all this transcoding & stuff, but the app works...so do I need to *LOL*
Gotta say, I love the ability to FF/RW, others I tried, they wouldn't work.
Also love the fact it can be started from a User account, & doesn't have to be ran as an Admin - all machines on my home network are ran from a user acc. I know it doesn't prevent nasties, but
does lower the chances of gettin 'em
Enough of my ramblings, got a few questions needing answering, but they're for their own thread if I can't find it already posted.
Just felt like saying THANKS
Everything just works, especially streaming very high bitrate 1080P native BluRay content....
