Guys,
Couple of questions. First, does anybody know what file access protocol is used by TV's etc to access media files on networked computers similar to Samsung's "All-share" on windows? I'm sure it's something related to smb, but haven't tcpdumped it yet to dissect it. I have an old box that is currently dual boot that I have connected to the TV via a wireless link. In win, the TV can browse the pc just fine with the help of the win application "all-share". I would like to get the TV to access the opensuse side of the box. Any ideas what's involved?
Are you talking about DLNA David? http://www.dlna.org/digital_living/how_it_works/
This is being baked into lots of TVs (targets), and DVD Players, BluRay (sources), Windows, Android (sources as well as targets).
Googling shows All Share is simply Samsung's name for DLNA. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5vie0bFRao Windows Media Center supports it in either target or source role, and this page has some links to Linux packages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Living_Network_Alliance Various Android devices have both target and source apps available. (You probably want 802.11n for this). My android tablet can browse and play videos, music and pictures on my network with software (clear.fi) that came on the tablet. Any modern TV has this build in for the last few years. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
