Samsung forum: Wireless TV to PC connection

DGC666,

Are you trying to stream files from the computer to the TV? Or use the TV as a monitor wirelessly?

Check your firewall or router is not blocking the TV discovery protocol (SSDP port 1900).

Can anybody answer this?
Thanks

Don - did anyone help you resolve this issue? I am struggling with the same thing. I've spent several days on it, and i'm very frustrated. the only reason why i purchased the samsung dongle in the first place was to do media streaming - not to get the cruddy internet widgets. I'm hoping you've been able to find a solution to your problem.

I have an older Samsung LCDTV LE46 and I bought the HT-C5900 Home Cimema W/the "N" lan dongle. and I have gotten Video streaming going quite well. using either Samsung Share mgr or just straight from My laptop. I am doing it wirelessly. I do have a problem sometimes tho with the wireless dropping and have to setup again. but most of the time its quite good once it settles in. Samsung pc share mger shows icons of the movie but the pc just shows that it is a video file.I have also been able to setup a friends tv (toshiba) with the samsung 3d BD player w/built in lan. but can't get it to play vids thru the Samsung share magr. only the pc(laptop)wirelessly. Streaming uses Windows Media Player so after you have setup your share lib's (video) open WMP and see if the videos update or are showing there

Hi,
Thanks to both for the replies.

The tutorial HDTech pointed to says...

"To use DLNA you must:

1. Connect your television to your home network via the Ethernet port on the television."

This indicates that you must use ethernet port implying that a wireless connection is NOT capable of connection to the PC.

However, what JW650 wrote... TV user guide says "Samsungs Wireless LAN adapter supports IEEE 802.11A, IEEE 802.11B, IEEE 802.11G, IEEE 802.11N. When you play DLNA video over IEEE 802.11B/G connection, the video may not be played smoothly."... this indicates that a wireless connection is possible.

So, again, has anyone successfully made a wireless TV to PC connection using the Samsung adapter?

Thanks,
Don

hawkster196,

If you have a wireless router, the BD-P3600 comes with the LinkStick that will allow you to connect to the internet. The laptop you have - does it have a wireless Wi-Fi card?

The Blu-Ray player, nor the television will transmit a signal to the computer.

hawkster196,

The BD-P3600 - at least in the U.S. - comes with a LinkStick wireless adapter that will connect the Blu-Ray player. If you want one for the television also, you would need to purchase a separate LinkStick (or a bridge of some sort, if you're good at networking).

All three should run at the same time, if set up properly. Again, there may be a limitation on the router as how many devices can be used at once, or how to set it up, but I don't see why there would be.

I am using PC Share Manager (2.3) to watch movies (.mkv HD, mpeg2 "huge" files...) from my PC to my TV (UE32B7000).
My PC is linked to a Netgear router through ethernet wiring, while I am using Samsung Wifi dongle USB on my TV (I got it with the P3600 Blu Ray reader which is also the way this reader is delivered in France).
The router speed is setup on 130Mb/s and I have very few problems of transmission. Some streaming buffering issues when too many computers are accessing the router thru Wifi and time to time an interrupt (not explained) of transmission.

BUT, when I have this interrupt (rare), the thing I have never been able to do is to restart where it STOPPED or to read VERY FAST from the begining of the file until I reach the point of break.

If someone can give me some solution here??? many thanks.

buddy,
i have a 46b8000 tv connected to my network via samsung wireless adapter. i have also instaled pc share manager. this runs perfectly except for the fact that When you play DLNA video over IEEE 802.11B/G connection, the video is not played smoothly.

Now, anybody knows if runing movies over ieee 802.11N is played smoothly?
regards,max

Yes, You can hook it all up wirelessly... You need to understand that what you are talking about is two different things!
you have to have the right devices though, to set it up... to hook up to your tv.
Network: DLNA-compliant Samsung HDTVs have an Ethernet port on the rear panel. This port must be
connected to a home network through a router... or other network interface through a wired Ethernet connection. Your Samsung HDTV can only use a wired LAN connection to the network interface. So this means, You need a wired lan connection that your are then going to hook up to a wireless access point... get it?

However, your networked PC can share files to your Samsung TV through both wired and wireless
connections to the network interface. It is recommended that you use at least an 802.11g wireless
connection (54 Mb/s) to your networked PC for viewing photos and videos and listening to music.

Could you please explain me which is the easiest method to wireless play pc games via my Samsung LED TV SERIE 6 via a home cinema HTC7550w system.

The problem is that I do not posses a HDMI slot for my pc video card, hence the the clasical connectiv style with a pc/sound out cables will be very low...

Thank you in advance for the answers.

Best.

Thank you, but the vvebeam has a 2 seconds lag for gaming. Any other similar products, with no lag. Best

Hi,
Was this issue resolved ? I have got a LA40C650 Samsung LCD TV (2010 Model) and got myself the Samsung USB wireless adaptor.
I have got a wireless router as its not possible to run the direct wired ethernet connectivity to the TV.
I am able to play out all the apps in the TV.
Have got Samsung PC share manager installed in my desktop. I am able to view the TV among the options (i have Allowed it to be accessed in my PC).
From the TV i am able to view the Samsung PC manager and the contents that i have shared in the PC manager. However when i try to play out the content i get format not supported error message be it a jpeg, movie, mp3 etc, (all supported formats of the TV).
I tried to use the UPNP option and share the windows media player. I am able to see the windows media player among the devices in my TV but in this case i am able to see the playlist but not the files in it.
Am i missing something ?

Hi,
Thanks for the URL. I shall let you know the progress on the same over this weekend. Meanwhile i copied the same file on to my Samsung WAVE 2 and used the All share feature, the TV recognises it and it is able to play (In fact it was a 720p HD content).
In this case it displays both the samsung PC share manager installed in my PC as well as Wave II content.
I tried the jpeg files in the wave-2 and it was displayed on the TV.
However i tried to access the file from the PC but it displays error (I do not think it was file format not supported but just file not supported - Shall confirm on the same).
