Samsung forum: Samsung DLNA PC Share for MAC OS??

Hello
I intended to buy a SAMSUNG B7000 led TV, attracted by the DLNA connection.
However, I am on Mac and discover this doesn't work, or did not work at the time of your answer in january.
What is the status of the DLNA version for MAC in August 2009?
Please SAMSUNG experts, let us know.
Is this available in France?
Thanks for your answer

We don't officially support the Mac platform at this time. However, I might take a look at this thread, as someone seems to have gotten it to work.

Just bought the LED 8000 series LCD TV, partly because of its internet and computer connectivity. Now find it won't work with Apple macintosh. Could Samsung please release software for the Mac or come and collect this piece of junk from my living room....

After purchasing a new Samsung Series 8 TV mainly because it had DLNA I then spent around a month trying many different DLNA servers on my Mac mini. Pretty much all of them including Eye Connect, PS3 Media Server, Twonky etc all suffered the same issues, TV could see the Mac however movies were either reporting unsupported format or the movie would play but only for a few minutes. Needless to say this was extremely frustrating.

Solution: Use Vuze. It has a DLNA plugin. The interface is a little clunky but it is free and it works. Occasionally I hit a problem playing a movie but this is generally due to the audio codec embedded in the mkv container not being supported by the TV. I now stream 8-9GB HD (1080) movies via a cabled network to the TV without issue. Currently using Vuze 4.4.0.4.

Hope this helps

TVMobili is fully compatible with Samsung TVs. It supports everything including 1080p mkv streaming with dts ouput

In reply to an email I received about locking this post and deleting a post.

These forums are here to help people with their technical problems, whether they be computer, TV, Car Tech, and so on. Specific questions are asked, and the members here do their best to resolve the issues.

At some stage discussions end for the user who posted the problem, (the OP or Original Poster). It is hoped that the problem has been solved and in the majority of cases this is so, but inevitably some issues remain unsolved in these forums.

When that period has been reached there is little purpose in further posts, in particular those that offer help or solutions. That period is difficult to define, but in this case this discussion is now over 18 months old. Further posts for the OP are no longer required.

It is often said that such further posts may help others who may be searching the internet for solutions. While that may be true, these forums do not exist for SEO or Search Engine Optimisation of 'possible' solutions, or comments, or personal views. These discussions are created by users who are seeking solutions to their own problems. Others may intervene during the life of the ongoing discussion with help or with their own problems, but at some stage time must be called.

These older open discussions also become a magnet for spam, posters whose sole purpose is to promote their products and increase their search engine ratings.

The Moderators here work very hard to keep these forums free of advertising, promotions, and scam posts, amongst other things, and as a result these forums are remarkably clean of such things compared to some of the other public forums.

Some of our decisions may seem harsh, and while this is regretted, we will continue our work to keep these forums and discussions clean of spam and unnecessary posts.
