Introduction

Once your TV Media Player is connected to your network, and you have made the
correct network settings, you can play media files through your network. If you
want to share media files on your computer in order to let the media player play
these files, you have to setup your computer as a UPnP server or samba server.
This guide will explain how to setup your computer as a UPnP or samba server.

Create a UPnP server in Windows Vista

Your computer does not share media by default. You will have to install a UPnP
media server on your computer to add this functionality. If you are using
Windows XP or Windows Vista, you can use the built-in UPnP media service of
Windows Media Player 11. If you enable this option, your media player can
access the music library on your computer. Follow the steps below to enable this
option:

1. Click ‘Start’.

2. Click ‘Programs’.

3. Click ‘Windows Media Player ‘.

4. Click ‘Tools’, then click ‘Options’. The following screen will be displayed:

5. Go to the ‘Library’ tab in the left upper corner of the options window.

6. Now click ‘Configure sharing…’.

7. Check the “Share my media” checkbox and click OK.

8. A list with detected devices will appear within a few seconds.

9. Click the name of your TV Media Player (default is MD-270).

10. Click ‘Allow’.

11. Click ‘Ok’.

12. Click ‘Ok’.

13. All files in the media library of Windows Media Player will be shared with your
media player from now on. The media library will be accessible using the remote
control and display of the media player.
