In-home Network Media Sharing

The BDP-105 can remotely play back music, photo, and video files stored on media devices that are connected to the same home network. You will need to prepare hardware such as a computer or NAS (Network Attached Storage) and install and configure software which is functionally equivalent to DLNA or SMB/CIFS (a network file sharing protocol) client. Set the My Network selection to On in the Setup Menu (details on page 79), press the HOME button on the remote to bring the Home Menu, select the Network icon and press ENTER button to show the list of available servers. In some case, you might need to disable the firewall on the hardware to allow BDP-105 to see the server.

The BDP-105 player can perform network sharing in one of the following three ways:

ξAs a digital media player (DMP): the player can actively search, access and pull content from local media servers which is functionally equivalent to DLNA.

ξAs a digital media renderer (DMR): the player plays content received (“pushed”) from a digital media controller (DMC). A DMC-capable media server is required. Refer to the server’s respective user instructions for correct configuration and operation.

ξAccessing a SMB/CIFS client: the player can directly access files shared through SMB/CIFS clients over the network, as if accessing an external USB hard drive. Most computers, especially those installed with Windows, already have an SMB client embedded. Please refer to respective OS instructions to set up the SMB/CIFS shared file/folder.

NOTE

ξNAS is a networked appliance that provides file-based data storage services to other devices on the network. Commercial products are available on the market.

ξSMB (Server Message Block) or CIFS (Common Internet File System) is mostly known as Microsoft Windows Network. It does not require an extra media server or perform any media format transcoding, which reduces the processing load and keeps the original content quality.

ξCompatibility with local network sharing hardware/software is on a best effort basis with no guarantee, due to variations in NAS devices, media servers and their configurations.
