Can you play music from computer through a blu ray player?

Rick Ross

i have an lg 3d blu ray player. and the other day i realized that when i look under music, it recognizes my laptop and i can go through the player to find files on my laptop and play music files. The thing i was wondering is if there's a way that i can play music on my laptop so that it streams directly through the blu ray.

Answer
Some Blu-ray players are DLNA Certified. Meaning you can stream files such as videos, photos and music from your computer to your blu-ray player. And playback on your TV. You should look in your owners manual or go to the LG web site and get step by step instructions on how to step this up.

What is the difference between Blu-Ray and 3D Blu-Ray?

The Star K

I've seen Blu-Ray movies lots of time on my Playstation 3, but I've never seen a 3D Blu-Ray
movie before. Have you ever seen The 3D Blu-Ray movies before?

If so, then what do THEY.... look like, the 3D Blu-Rays?

Answer
I would consider LG BX580 Network 3D Blu-ray Disc Player, Black

3D Blu-ray Disc Playback
Integrated Wi-Fi Connectivity
NetCast Entertainment Access
DLNA Certified (Home Link)
Full HD 1080p

What would you like to ask?Best DLNA server for Panasonic Blu-ray BDT210?

Dallasguy

I have Panasonic Blu-ray BDT210 player that has DLNA client. I am using Mezzmo DLNA server but this is not supporting .mkv files (It is suppose support). So I am looking for good DLNA Server for Windows.

Answer
I have a Panasonic BDP (different model to yours) and I use Mezzmo without any problems. All my files stream perfectly - including my MKVs. Just make sure you have the right device profile and the latest version of Mezzmo. If still no success, ask the Mezzmo developers. They are quick to respond and helped me with my setup.

What is something I can use to play digital movies on my TV?

blu ray player dlna image

Morgan

I bought an external hard drive. I want to play my digital movies on my TV. I have a Panasonic Vera that won't play MP4 (the format my movies are in). I know i can just convert them but the file browser is also very clunky and unattractive. I also have an Xbox and Samsung Blu-Ray player. My Xbox wants me to format the drive before i can use it, and the blu-ray player works, but it is extremely clunks and unattractive as well, which will work for a while, but i don't play to use it in the long run. Is there something I can buy that i can plug my 1TB hard drive into that plugs into my TV and can browse files and play video other that my laptop? or maybe some device i can buy that i can put my movies onto that is designed exactly for what i described i want to do?
'aight doug. I think i'll try that plugging into the router thing. If that doesn't work, the Roku an WDTV look awesome. but, so if i plug the harddrive into my router, how would i access the files from my TV and stream them? I have relatively new Netgear WNDR3800, along with all those devices i listed above.

Answer
There are a number of ways to do this. One is to use a Media Player (a hardware box, not the Windows Media Player software, although that can be made to work also with many video formats).
The Western Digital TV player already mentioned is one with USB port to accept an external flash drive or HDD. This has features like optical digital audio out, HDMI out, and a remote control:

Another very popular one is the Roku box - very highly rated with same features looks like this:

There are others - just search [streaming media player] to find more (Netgear, Linksys, etc).
I stream movies all over the house using our home Wi-Fi network and our computers to play the files (either from system HDD or external) either with Tversity media streaming software (there is a limited function free version we use, and a more comprehensive paid version), and also using a free program called PMS - Playstation Media Server, using the DLNA capability of the PS3 as a media server to stream wirelessly. It's free to download and use and is very capable and functional. So the options are huge - takes a little learning to pick the best for you... Good luck!
