9. PLAYING YOUR PC'S SHARED MEDIA

You don't have to limit yourself to playing only the video, music, and photo files that are stored on your device.
When connected to your home WiFi network, your ARCHOS gives you the possibility to watch, directly on your
device, the shared media files (videos, music or photos) stored on your computer. There are two main ways to
"stream" media to your ARCHOS via WiFi.

9.1. Media from your PC's shared folders (SMB)

If there are computers on your WiFi network that are sharing folders, then you will be able to browse
those folders and play whatever content is in them. As shown to the left, a folder on your PC that is
being shared has the hand-holding-a-folder icon.
To share a folder on your PC, right-click on it and select Sharing. You can browse all the shared folders by using
the Files application on your ARCHOS. In the file browser, find the group External and select Shared folders
(SMB). You'll see the computer's name here, and then the shared folders and files inside it.
