    All share is only for Samsung gear. Try VLC. As long as you have the libraries with media shared, all are in the Public folder, the firewall does not block the RTSP ports, you do not have the media password protected, you should see up in the Inputs the computer or use Plex even for media sharing. Plex does a way better job than having to run Windows Media Player or VLC all of the time.

    I have a Synology DS216+2 NAS that I run PLEX on. I had to upgrade the RAM to allow for better media sharing. Go that route instead of the computer.

    Hey Badger100,
    When I got my new Vizio Smart Tv, I couldn't figure out how to show media on it from my PCs. Turned out it all I had to do was use "Cast to Device" by right clicking on a media file (image,music,video) which did a search and added a NFLC Media Renderer (the name may be different for you) .... which also shows up in File Explorer > Network > Media Devices.

    Note: If it doesn't find anything when you do "Cast to Device" ... open Settings > Devices > Add Bluetooth or Other Devices and in the popup window choose Everything Else and hopefully it will find and set it up.

    Hi,,,and thanks for your reply. You were right I do have cast to device...and it does sort of work. If I right click on a single photo it does open up on my TV in about a quarter frame size. I can use the media player on the TV to magnify X2 to make full TV frame size. If I right click on a folder of photos ...again quarter size and plays a slideshow slowly. The WMP controls for next/last photo do not seem to do anything ?. Are their settings somewhere where I can improve the performance ?. I warn you I am not very savvy with PC's so make any instructions as clear as you can please. Many thanks.

    In that case it's the TV software that displays the pictures the range of Zoom, slide show etc is controlled by that.
    My TV seems to be limited to a zoom of x2 at the most (described as Zoom and Crop) and won't show really large images, a limitation of the TV software.
    You don't have to use Cast to, you can just navigate with the TV via Network to Laptop, and the Media folders and do it that way.
    In both cases it's the TV software that is limiting the display.

    You can obviously use the Laptop to ensure every photo is in the displayable range of the TV.

    My old notes for Samsung AllShare (with Sony TV) state "Works to some extent though software seems very unresponsive, not at all on some things."
    Not worth finding. There other Media servers like Windows Media Player and others.

    You would use Plex. VLC can be used as a Server, you just need to read up on it in the information with the program. You should start by actually learning how to use the program by using it and getting to know it. That is how all of us have taught ourselves, instead of having others hold our hands.
