Setting up DLNA (Smart Share) on LG Smart TV TV. We watch movies and photos that are on a computer

Admin.

I thought for a long time how to start this article, but then I realized that this is not an essay, but the instruction is therefore, immediately to the point!

In this article, I will show how to set up technology DLNa., (On LG TVs it is called Smart Share) And right from the TV access movies, photos and music that are on your computer. This is a very useful feature. And if you have a TV that supports network connection and DLNA technology, you must use this.

For example: You have a movie on your computer, or photos that you would like to view from the TV. How to do it? Yes, you can use the HDMI cable to connect the TV to the computer, but it will simply be as a monitor, and the cable may not be.

You can still throw a movie on the USB flash drive, connect it to the TV and run the movie. Yes, but here you need a flash drive, you need to copy the information. Much easier, go from the TV to the folder on your computer and just run from the movie from there, or see photos.

Before you start setting up, I want to tell you in a nutshell what DLNA and Smart Share.

DLNa. (in your own words) - this is a technology that allows devices that are connected to the same network and support DLNA technology to exchange media content (video, photo, music).

Now, almost all devices support DLNA technology: computers, televisions, smartphones, game consoles, etc.

Smart Share. - This is a company application (technology) of the company LG. Esley can be said, then this is such a shell to work with DLNA. Other TV manufacturers have these programs called otherwise. W. Samsung - Allshare.. SONY - VAIO MEDIA SERVER.

For example: You can watch photos on TV on your smartphone. I will write about it in one of the following articles. This article is strictly dedicated to the DLNA configuration between the computer. (laptop, no difference) and TV. Let me remind you that the TV should be able to connect to the network.

Setting up DLNA (SMART Share) between PC and TV

We need (necessarily) that our TV and computer (I have a laptop) were connected to the same network. What does it mean? This means that the TV and the computer must be connected to one router.

It does not matter how they are connected. TV can be connected as Wi-Fi ( how to connect read in this article ), so. Computer as well. For example, the TV and the laptop are connected to the wireless router.

This can be done even with the standard Windows Media Player. Despite the fact that in this method there is a small minus, we still consider it.

Setting up DLNA using Windows Media

Just start the Windows Media Player (Look for it in the Start menu)Click on the tab Flow And install checkmarks near two items:

  • Allow remote player management ...
  • Automatically resolve devices to reproduce my multimedia ...

It's all. You can already enter the SMART Share menu (In the case of LG TV) And watch all media files that are in public folders: music, video and images.

Add your folder with movies to Windows Media player

If you configure a server via Windows Media, only standard folders with video, music and images will be displayed on the TV. And the contents will respectively will be reflected only from these folders. Whatever copy the desired movies and other files in these standard folders, we can add the folders you need to the library, and they appear on the TV. How to do it, I was suggested in the comments.

Open Windows Media Player and press the button on the left. Arrogate. Mouse over to Library management And according to what media content you want to add, select Phonoteka, Video, or Gallery. For example, I want to add a folder with movies, then I choose video.

In a new window, click on the button. Add. Select the desired folder with the movies on the computer (in my case), highlight it and click Add folder.

In the list you will see all added and standard folders. You can add more, or highlight the desired and delete.

All movies, or other files that are located in the folders that you added to the library should appear on your TV in the DLNA server created by the standard player.

This method is very convenient, since it does not require installation special programs.

Setting up Smart Share.

Almost every manufacturer of televisions, there is a computer branded program that allows you to configure access to files (I wrote about this at the beginning of the article). In the case of LG TVs, this program is called LG Smart Share for PC.

We need to download and install this program. You can download from official LG site (If you have another TV, then search for similar programs on manufacturers sites). The program is on the link.

For some reason, from officially, this program has been loaded with me very slowly. Therefore, I downloaded it from another site. I post on my site. Version 2.1.1309.1101 (perhaps already outdated). Better to download from the official site.

To install just run the file setup.exe.which is in the archive in the folder LG Smartshare PC SW DLNA. Installation is simple, therefore, this process I will miss.

After starting the program, select one of the items: Movie, Photo, Music (To configure the program, it does not matter).

We immediately go to the settings, for this, in the upper right corner, click on the button Parameters.

And in the first window, immediately set the switch to the position ON.(Incl.)

Go to the next tab My shared files. This is the main point.

Here we need to add folders to which we want to allow sharing from the TV.

Just click on the folder button (See screenshot below)and select required foldersThe content of which you want to view on the TV. Click OK. To confirm. Then press the button Apply. The process of adding a folder will begin. If there are a lot of files, the process can last long. We wait.

After that, our folder will appear in the list available.

This configuration of the SMART Share program can be completed. If you want, then on the tab Parameters of my device, You can still change the name of the device that will be displayed on the TV.

All, the program window can be closed, it will now quietly work and display on the notifications panel. Also, after rebooting the computer, the service will run automatically until you turn it off in the settings where it turned on.

Configure DLNA on TV (LG SMART SHARE)

On TV just go to Smart TV. and choose Smart Share (Unfortunately, I do not know how to do it on other TVs, or in models without SMART TV).

Go to the tab Connected device. There we already have two DLNA servers. The one in the form of Windows Media Player is a server created in the standard player (first method). You can open it and view files.

The second DLNA server is the one that we created in the SMART Share program. He is needed. Open it.

We see the available folders. What to open our folder to which we opened access, go to the folder All folders.

Open it and launch the file you need. In my case, the film.

That's all! Settings are finished!

Update

If you have any problems with setting up, with the Smart Share program, or you, for example, another TV, then I have prepared an article on how to configure a DLNA server using the Home Media Server program (UPNP, DLNA, HTTP ) ". About which we have already spoken more than once in the comments. Here is the instruction. Connect the TV with a phone (tablet) directly, using Wi-Fi Direct technology


Connecting the phone to the TV opens up ample opportunities for their owners, ranging from viewing content internal memory And ending with the duplication of the screen of the mobile device. In this manual, we will tell about how to connect the phone to the LG Smart TV (and ordinary) in several ways:

  • Via usb.
  • Using the Smart Share function
  • With Wi-Fi Direct technology

Consider them in order:

USB

Connecting this method allows you to view the contents of the phone's memory on your screen. Duplicate the image of the display of the mobile device via USB will not be possible.

For connection it is necessary:

  1. commerize both USB cable devices (phone charging cable)
  2. choose the phone " Connect as USB drive"(But usually it happens automatically")
  3. select "USB devices" on TV, open it and select the name of your phone in the list.

After that, a folder with a mobile file files will open, and you can watch photos or videos on the TV screen.

The advantage of this connection method is that the TV does not have to have the "Smart" console, is enough to have a USB port and the corresponding item in the signal source menu.

Smart Share.

This way, you can connect the LG TV to the Mobile Phone of the same name, which supports the Smart Share function. TV in this case should be smart.

First of all, you need to connect the TV and the phone to the Wi-Fi home network (how to do it, read). And then, simply activate the SMART Share function first on TV and then in the phone.

After that, you can use all the features of this proprietary function from LG, for example, to display an image to a large screen.

Wi-Fi Direct

This method is suitable for connecting all smartphones that support Wi-Fi DIRECT technology. Of course, in the TV, it should also be.

Its plus is the lack of need to connect to a Wi-Fi router.

To connect via Wi-Fi Direct:

  • on the phone, go to the "Wireless Networks" section, find and activate the Wi-Fi Direct feature.
  • on the TV, open the "Network" menu section and, among ways to connect, select and activate Wi-Fi Direct.
  • after activation, the name of your smartphone should appear in the list of available devices. Click on it to send a connection request.
  • confirm the connection of the devices by clicking on the phone "Yes".

As you can see, everything is not as difficult as it seems. We hope we could help you. If you have any questions - ask them in the comments.
