Can a Philips BDP5010 Blu-Ray Player stream video from a Windows computer?

blu ray player for windows 7 image

Fletch

I see that Target has the BDP5010 Blue-Ray player for $80 now. It has an ethernet port, and can play DivX files. Does anyone know if I can stream videos shared on a Windows computer (Windows 7 Ultimate, specifically)? Currently I am using an Xbox 360, but want to setup another TV and don't want to shell out $200 for another Xbox.

Answer
The ethernet port will only get you whatever content is offered as features of that Blu-Ray player..This could be Net-Flix-Pandora Radio-You Tube -Blockbuster or others.It is also possible it is only there for doing firm-ware updates..Check the features closely...

How to stream to Sony BDP-BX57 Blu-ray player?

Patrick

I just finished setting up my Sony BDP-BX57 Blu-ray player and I want to stream files from my Windows 7 computer to it. The computer is wired to the network and the BDP-BX57 is wireless. How do I setup file sharing to it?

Thanks!

Answer
You use the windows media player, to stream files set the player up to share files with the public also set the network up for file share...also you have to have a wireless router installed if not you need to run an either net cable from the network router to the Blu ray player depending on what router you have......the blu ray will need to be detected by the network and may need a pass word to install depending on the router, check the network settings on your computer and also follow instructions on the TV screen for the blu ray....
