Who Can Access My Shared Media Libraries?Ī HomeGroup is a secured set of Windows 7 PCs that can view and consume each other’s media seamlessly. In addition, Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center will automatically discover shared libraries from:ģ)All DLNA compliant media servers (Samsung AllShare devices) Windows Explorer will automatically discover and provide access to shared media libraries on other HomeGroup PCs. The scope of these libraries is the same from each of these views. As described in a previous blog post, these shared libraries are accessible from within the navigation pane of Windows Explorer and Windows Media Player, and from the “shared” view of each media category within Windows Media Center (see figures below). HomeGroup introduces the concept of “shared libraries” for music, pictures, and video. These options allow you to:ġ)Set up your home PC so you can access your media libraries while away from homeĢ)Allow other Windows 7 PCs and devices to push media to your Player and control itģ)Quickly authorize all home PCs and devices to access your media collectionĮach of these scenarios will be discussed throughout this post. There is a new “Stream” menu prominently displayed in the Window Media Player user interface (see figure below) that exposes simple scenario-based configuration options.
I use this all the time with my Captivate via AllShare, and I hope you can enjoy it like I do. This is from the Microsoft blog, but does a great job explaining how to set up your Windows 7 computer to stream via DLNA. First off, I posted this guide over the weekend and couldn't figure out where it went.until finding out today that the server had to be rolled back.
