How to set up DLNA server for Samsung 46C750

Hi Folks,

After couple weeks of dealing with well-known DLNA servers like TwonkMedia, MediaTomb, Serviio, TVersity, miniDLNA i finally find what i am looking for. It is surprising that the solution is from Samsung which is called Samsung PC Share Manager.

This is a Win-based program and it easily share your content with your TV through DLNA protocol. But it is better than any other DLNA server that i tested so far. Cause it has all the strengths but not the weaknesses, weaknesses like not playing .mkv or load subtitles. Samsung PC Share Manager can plat mkv and add subtitles (it should be named same with video file).

Only trick in the program you gotta allow your TV to get shared content from your PC. To do that, Share->Set Device Policy->Select your TV and Set State "Accepted". That's all. Well done Samsung.

I hope you find it useful.

  1. I cheer with you but i cry for the mkv files not being sync. Also lose sync when pausing of fwd-ing. You got a solution?

  2. Well, i didn't face with that problem actually, but i have an idea why it occurs. As you might know mkv files are very loaded and it consumes like 15-20 Mbps while they're streaming from your computer. If you're using a wireless dongle to stream that media, it could be the cause or may be computer cannot handle the work load, can you computer play that mkv file properly in locally?
