Sharing with a network drive

A computer with Windows Media Player 11 may share digital media with a network drive or remote share (for example, a computer with Windows Media Player 11 that is attached to a network configured with an HP Media Vault or other network attached storage). When your MediaSmart HDTV is connected to the same network, it aggregates this content for you to browse from a single interface on your MediaSmart TV.

To authorize your MediaSmart HDTV in Windows Media Player, and to select or add media to the shared folders, see “Adding media to share on the computer” on page 96.

Software

The MediaSmart Services Gateway software (also called the HP Server), manages the downloading and storing of movies onto a PC from the Internet, for viewing on a MediaSmart HDTV. The HP Server must be running on your PC to purchase and download movies from your TV, as well as view certain image and video file types not supported by Windows Media Player 11 such as .png, .ma4, and .mp4 files.

The software is loaded onto your PC by the MediaSmart HDTV Installation CD. Look for the icon on the desktop.
