My new Samsugn blu ray player must be connected to the cable modem at the same time as my PC to stream movies says Netflix. Only problem is there is only one HDMI connection back there. I do not wish to by surrounded by RF so I want to go with cables. What is the best way to proceed? I repeat, I do not wish to have a wireless router.
I have a 655 and two TVs. One is connected to my network by a Samsung 5700 Blu Ray player, and the other is connected by x box. The x box is 20 ft away from my router and the Blue Ray is about 60 away with one wall between. The x box pulls movies down and plays them no problem, and Blue Ray takes about a minute for loading the moving, will start playing but them pauses several times throughtout the movie showing the loading sign on screen.
I have a readynas duo connected by cable to my dir 825,and i want to stream movies from the nas to my zbox,wich has W7 32bit and a sitecom dual N usb adapter,but it seems my wireless speed is to slow for mkv and m2ts(playback stutters),when i copy a file from the nas to my zbox i get 7,60MB using a 1,33gb file,when i copy the same file from the zbox to the nas speed is a little better around 8.20MB.all my devices are in the same room.
Does anyone use an external hard drive connected to their e4200 router to stream movies over DLNA? If so what format of videos are you using and what program and settings are you using to convert the movies from DVD or blu-ray to video files?
I have been using handbrake to convert both blu-ray and DVD movies to MP4 videos with AAC audio and I have been getting strange results. If I convert a blu-ray movie to MP4 with a DTS audio track down mixed to Dolby Pro Logic II AAC then I can play the movie and I am able to fast forward and rewind. If I convert the same movie but convert the audio in any other way, AC3 pass through etc., the video will play but I will not be able to fast forward or rewind.
I've got a E3000 router and I'd like to be able to stream movies and access files from the USB connected HD on my router to my galaxy tablet.I understand that this can be done. I've poked around and cannot find anything that's worked for me.
I am in need of playing a stream (generated by s program like VLC) on more than 3 TV's. The TV's are dumb lcd's with just hdmi connectors (no lan). I thought about getting some media players that I connect to the local network which will then pick up my stream and stream it further to the TV's.
I posted this on a previous thread along with another question, but since I marked that as answered I'll post it here so people will see it.Is there any way I can use UPnP WITHOUT having to have the videos I want to stream in my WMP library? Windows Media Player has always been a pain for me, from my videos not showing up in the library when I know they're there to not being able to switch audio streams in a video. (If VLC Media Player or iTunes had a UPnP library.
I have an E3000 with an external hard drive attached via USB with several movies saved on it as ISO's. How to stream a movie to my wireless blu ray player, Sony S580. I was able to stream the iso to a netbook attached to the LCD tv by using VLC on the netbook. The only videos I can access on the blu ray player that are on the external hard drive are home videos I converted to DVD quality before uploading, they're not HD. I can access pictures and music on the blu ray from the external hard drive as well. I tried converting an iso to MVK but was unable to access/find it using the blu ray player.
I got no code, and as a matter of fact have no Internet connectivity to my Bluray player. When I go to my Bluray setting tab and run a network test the MAC Address checks out but fails when it gets to IP Address. My Bluray is plugged directly into my router and it still shows no Internet connection between the two, even though my x-box 360 has no problem nor does my computer. When looking at my network settings the IP Addresss boxes all have numbers in them, the Subnet Mask boxes two of four boxes have numbers the others are zeros, the Gateway boxes are all zeros, and the DNS Server boxes are all zeros. I read many of the posts in this forum and all problems seem pretty similar to mine.
I have a problem getting connected with my wired powerline network to my DirecTV DVR and Sony Blu-Ray player. I have had no trouble in the 2+ years I have used it until last weekend when my modem locked up.I first used the ISP's self-repair utility but it failed. I then rebooted the modem and router and got internet back but now the devices cannot connect.The DirecTV DVR HR20-100 reported it as connected to the network but not the Internet and the same with the Blu-Ray.
I've connected my Panasonic TV successfully to my router via cable using the Auto IPS Address setup. I'm now trying to connect the Panasonic Blu Ray player using the Auto setup but it says it can't find IP address and asks me to check the router.
I have a Magnavox Blu-ray player, model number MBP5130/F7, that I cannot get to connect to the internet. The Blu-ray player has built in wireless and I have tried connecting it through a wireless and a wired connection but neither one works. I keep getting an error message that says "DHCP cannot be aquired. Please confirm connection or set it with manual operation." I have 3 laptops and 2 video game systems that connect to my router perfectly fine so I really don't understand what the problem is.
after i enter the security key for my router it says it is unable to connect to the network. it also has me manually put in my ip address and it says my gateway ping is incorrect. where do i find this information
I have a Samsung BD-C5500 Blu Ray player and am using the Samsung PC Share Manager software. For some reason, the software is not recognizing the player. However, the player is able to connect to the internet (I stream Netflix). I am running Windows XP service pack 3 and both my BD player and PC are connected to the same router (D-Link 601). IP address for BD player is 192.168.0.102 and PC is 192.168.0.100. BD player firmware is up to date.
I've bought a D-Link DIR-615 Wireless N Router. I have a SONY BDP-S370 Blu-ray player with a LAN socket.
I have my Dell Inspiron laptop working on Windows 7 (with LAN socket and wireless N card). I have a HTC Desire phone. I use my HTC Desire as a WI-Fi hotspot to connect to the internet.
I would like to plug the router to the Blu-ray player so that I can use the internet connection broadcasted by my phone. I would also like to be able to access the contents of my laptop on the Blu-ray player through the wireless router.
I just bought a magnavox mbp5130/f7 blu ray player and i cant get it to connect to my wireless internet. I chose all the WPAs available on the player and entered my password on all of them, but none worked.
I bought a Philips blu ray player that has an ethernet port to connect to stream movies. My router is located on a different floor so connecting via an ethernet cable is not an option. How do I connect my blu ray player on the 2nd floor to the router on the 1st floor?
I am trying to set up to watch a live webcast and get the the following essage,"Windows Media Player cannot connect to the server. The server name might not be correct, the server might not be available, or your proxy settings might not be correct." I have tried to verify proxy server settings and it still gives me the message.
I have WRT54G router. The VIZIO VBR231 unit finds the network OK and indicates it is connected, but nothing will stream, and when I run a Network Test it gives me this 3 line error:
Connection to 0.0.0.0... successfully established Resolving... could not be established Please check your connection and try again.
The VIZIO support folks were not beneficial at all, and said something about Port 80 or Port 43 not being open or available. When I talked to linksys support, they said I needed to add the VIZIO player's IP (which appears to be 0.0.0.0 in the system settings). I poked around a bit, including the Port Forwarding tab on the router setup, but could not see a way to assign 0.0.0.0 to one of these ports, and I am hesitant to experiment.
I'll probably just return the unit to Costco, but I'm trying this forum as a last ditch effort. BTW I have a VIZIO internet TV that I love, and that had absolutely no problem at all connecting to the wireless.
I'm trying to delete downloaded movies off my laptop to free up some space-I tried uninstall but realize it isn't a program-we want to keep only a couple of movies-no success...
I have a NAS (DLink) connected to my router, and my samsung smart TV. I currently use a Boxee Box for the family in another room, and it works great. However, I now want to be able to watch the movies (.mkv's) stored on my NAS, on my smart TV in my room. I want to be able to do so without leaving my PC on. The TV uses a Samsung 'dongle' to connect to my WiFi.
Have a look at the diagram showing my router/modem setup here:I'm not sure the proper terminology or how to say this but I would like Router A to broadcast 1 IP and and Router B to broadcast another.For "business" reasons I need my "normal" IP on router A and for "pleasure" reasons, I want to have different DNS on router b.I'm in canada and I'm using a DNS service to make it appear like I'm from the US.
