Sharing Video Over Network
Being lazy I'll ask here.
I tried playing video on my laptop shared from my PC wirelessly. But it was choppy. Is that to be expected? I did try cabled but it was the same. I tried just sharing the folder with the video(s). What should I be doing?

try a media server, rather than windows file sharing. and don't rely on wireless for reliable links.

If those don't work you can try VLC?

have you got a PS3, or has your TV got DLNA? install a DLNA server.

Nope. I don't have any consoles or fancy TV gear. Because I don't even watch it. I watch all my stuff on my PC monitor. 22' "full HD". Good enough for me. So I'm behind the times with media sharing.
I'll give VLC a go later. Though, I take it video can't be shared well over the router then?

TV that has DLNA? Needs must google, it would be pimp if I could share media directly to my TV without needing to route through my PS3. I haven't had any luck getting videos to play that way.
Meh, I just need to learn how to use the PS3 properly then. I wonder if I could stream videos through TVersity that are on the interwebs? Last edited by Lost; 06-17-2010 at 03:46 AM. |
