It will then only share the media types in that folder you select. As for audio, unfortunately it doesn't support flac.2, It doesn't require a password, its a DLNA serverģ, Your neighbours can only connect to it if you Ī) run a network cable from your router to a network device they ownī) you give then full access to your wifiĬ) you have open wifi with no password (not recommended)Ĥ) Streaming won't affect your PC download speed (unless something is very wrong)ĥ) You can setup Serviio to share any folders you choose, totally up to you and call them want you want. It only seems to get it perfectly right with MP4 files (which means a lot of 're-wrapping' for me).
It's not too good, however, with getting the aspect ratio right, especially with MKV (sadly, as a lot of my files I've wrapped in that container). I don't know how many files you've tested by plugging into the USB port, but the TV's software does support a good range of types, including the more obvious MP4, AVI, DivX, Xvid, h.264, x264 and even plays some flv files (good for videos from YouTube if they are more recent encodes), but the TV software will also support the MKV container. If you don't get anywhere with AllShare or the suggested software, or would just prefer an external HDD, you might want to take the same precaution by using a short extension too. So when I switched to the second port (which is not labelled to support USB HDD but still works), I've used a very short extension which I leave plugged into the TV, and it's that into which I plug my drive. The first USB port on my Samsung TV failed pretty quickly - perhaps from nightly plugging/unplugging.
The beauty of it is I can set the TV timer so it turns off after I've fallen asleep and the drive is turned off too (it naturally gets power from the TV). Do you know that your USB ports on your TV will support an external USB hard drive? All my video files are stored on a single drive and I plug it in every night. I got to thinking that maybe you're looking at AllShare because a USB stick doesn't hold much data and you don't want to be transferring single files to it when you want to watch a film or series episodes each night. I AM able to play the same files using the USB stick, directly plugging into the TV.
