Playing files from your device on DLNA Certified™ devices
Before you can view or play media files from your device on other DLNA Certified™
devices, you must set up file sharing on your device. The devices that you share content
with are called client devices. For example, a TV, computer or tablet can act as client
devices. Your device works as a media server when it makes content available to client
devices. When you set up file sharing on your device, you must also give access
permission to client devices. After you do so, such devices appear as registered devices.
Devices that are waiting for access permission are listed as pending devices.
To Set Up File Sharing With Other DLNA Certified™ Devices
1
Connect your device to a Wi-Fi network.
2
From your Home screen, tap
> Media server.
3 Tap the slider beside Share media.
4
Use your computer or other DLNA™ client devices on the same Wi-Fi network to
connect to your device.
5
A notification appears in the status bar of your device. Open the notification and
set access permissions for each client device attempting to connect to your
device.
The steps for accessing media on your device using a DLNA™ client differ between client
devices. Refer to your client device User Guide for more information. If your device is
inaccessible to a client on the network, check if your Wi-Fi network is working.
You can also access the Media server menu from certain applications like Music or Album by
dragging the left edge of the application's homescreen to the right and then tapping Settings
> Media server.
