I tried streaming from my laptop Windows 7, wireless and it worked with no problem. I went back to my PC and when I clicked the link to show the full network map I saw my laptop with a dashed line to the router, and my PC with a solid line to unknown, and unknown to the router.

I read that if I go to my network adapter properties and un-check ipv6 it might clear up the unknown, and sure enough the unknown changed to switch, which I can only guess since my PC is connected directly to the router, than the hard wire ports are considered a switch. This leads me to believe that there is something with the router that is preventing the wired connection from working.

I have now tried wiring the TV to the router, and it still won't pick up the PC. Oddba11 Jim. Joined May 12, Messages 8, Wired or wireless should not matter. And since you can see and ping the devices, you have proven network connectivity. So most likely it's a configuration issue. As Seen On.

Welcome to Tech Support Guy! Latest posts. Windows Do you have anymore advice on how to only have it see just my Public Folder? I realize this advice is for those with a Vizio, but it seems universal and has been except this one area. It seems to do this with any folder I open. Moved my movie folder to documents and found it through the server but when I open it the tv turns off.

Also, check the media server and be sure it is looking for the kind of files you want to serve out. I have found out the your TV can also play mkv file also by changing the extension to mp4.

Greetings, what a great thread! We all seem to be after very similar solutions! I got it mounted on the wall, got the audio setup, and started going through the manual in detail and was shocked to find how little it covered. I was a bit discouraged in much the same way vaughnteegarden was. The idea was to keep all my music and major family photo and movie files on an external hard drive connected to one of the USB ports. After reading this great post by vaughnteegarden thank you very much, by the way , I had another look into the routers capabilities, and I found that it had a DLNA Media Server built in.

No issues yet! Thanks again! Is there a way to mirror my browswer onto my Vizio TV using this? Does anyone know why this might happen or what I could do to fix it? That is pretty bizarre.

Certainly sounds like a bug, but I have no idea what would cause that. Is there anything else inside the folder besides the movie file? Maybe try removing items one at a time until you figure out what it is.

And I also have pS3 media server running on my pc. The tv will show my computer listed and shows ps3 media server. Why is this? Now, if I switch to my xbox and use ps3 media server, all the movies play. I set up Plex media server and turned on transcoding. I used a thumb drive to play a TV show and it worked great until there was about 5 or 10 mins left in the show. It stopped for now reason at all. I hit play again and fast forwarded to where it stopped and it played on for a few more minutes, but then stopped again before the show was over.

Anyone have this problem or know how to make it play videos all the way through? This is great information! I picked up the 55 inch M Series Vizio today because of the fantastic picture quality. I was going to get a Samsung because it has a Plex app…. I see that we can access DLNA……problem is that there seems to be no codecs audio and video that work….. How do I get p mp4, avi, and mkv files to play??

I have not found any way to install codecs. You will either need to convert them I use WinFF for converting video or you can get a transcoding media server. Add folders where your movies are located in 2nd box. I use Plex now instead of PS3. Just turn on transcoding, and it will play anything. Can you please provide a screen shot or instructions for how to turn on transcoding in the Plex DLNA server?

What do you mean by ,.. Do i need to purchase something or what? Except my generic DLNA tells me it doesnt have the codec. Plex just acts like its ignoring me when i try to play files that need to be transcoded. I see the files dvr-ms but when I click nothing happens. The ps3 log seems ok, says it is serving the file.

Could this be a router problem? Should I try an older version of ps3? Try using Plex media server. It take a while to load the first time it indexes all your media, but after that it works flawlessly. Just turn on Transcoding and you are set to go. Great thread! I just bought a Vizio E-Series and out of the box it could see all my PCs in the house, but it is finicky about what it will play and what it will not.

I have used Serviio before with great success on on older Samsung TV and will probably give that a shot. Worthless text. BTW…I had the same issue as someone else using the thumb drive. Good Luck everyone! I struggled with Serviio for the E-series Vizio.

There is an issue with trancoding on the fly with this software. But apparently there are good reasons for that! Many look a lot like a slightly oversize USB thumb drive. Some of the better models also have an ethernet port. Mine is a Mini Xplus, which is no longer available. Another brand with a similar name is MiniX. IMine works well with my Vizio. Do you know what file types can be played?

I downloaded and installed this software but I am unable to get the movies and videos to play. So I downloaded another mentioned here Serviio. After that, it began to list the files inside the folders, and to my pleasant surprise play them. Thanks so much for this post!
