You can copy/add/delete files directly from a Windows PC or Macbook. You don't have to take out hard drive to put more files.
Router I used: bit.ly/2i8RYrU
After spending hours trying to play from windows media player over DLNA on my LG OLED, your video - BOOM - thank you! so simple the soloution
The problem is, there is no "device connection settings" on my LG OLED. there is only for IoT devices with IoT standards... and there is no way to connect to external storage server / PC anything.
you can also just choose "input" from your remote, and all DLNA sources are at the bottom of the input list... a lot easier and faster way to connect to any DLNA source.
Thanks Joe. I figured that out later after video was done. It is really easy to navigate.
or hold any number on the tv remote to quick assign the source to it, right??
Can you also use this while using a HDD/usb on the router? And acces it
Thanks for the video! Unfortunately, fast forward, rewind, and seek are not working on my device. LG webOS TV UK6470PLC version 05.50.15 .
I bought lg oled48a16 2021 and I haven't option content share. Do you know something about new lg tv?
Dose this work with synology ?
I have a LGTV like yours with the same interface, and a Synology NAS that is attached to the same router via Ethernet. However the LGTV does not "see" the NAS. What do you think I should look at?
Great video thanks. I can't seem to pick up my hard drive through my TV , I can find the hard drive over the WiFi with my phone and I can find my PC over the WiFi with my TV but I can't find it with my TV. Any settings I need to change on my Router?
Ur router should be NTFS format, not exFat. Some TVs only support NTFS. Hope this helps
Can i connect multiple hdd’s to my router with a hub?
cant we skip the router and plug in hard drive directly in tv's usb port?
Hi, I have installed LG SmartShare. I access it through the same method you use above, but where you click on your router, I click on this SmartShare icon. However, I cannot see files on my PC. Any advice? Thanks
Plugged my memory stick in the router but it's not showing. Does the memory stick need formatting in a specific way, not sure if it's currently NTFS
MyGadgetsWorld sorry for asking on such a long time - but will it work as fast from pc as fast from router with usb? is wifi internet browsing still available when used this way ?
Can you tell me how can I remove any unwanted mediaserver from the list? Thanks!
This is great! Do you have to connect hardrive to router? Can I create a shared folder on my Mac that will be seen on the LG tv?
Yes you connect hard drive to router and then no need to keep your PC or Mac running all the time. This is bet solution for people dont wanna use pc or mac all the time.
What about doing it through the lan cable?
Hi!! If you choose show pc screen and you play a movie on pc,will your hear sound on tv??
Not exactly sure how, my neighbors laptop is on my tv in my media server. How can I remove them & add my own
This is awesome... thanks so much.
+TheNotepadShow you're welcome. :)
Hey. Would you recommend a router+external hdd setup or a NAS (synal ds218j or wd ultra ex2)? Thanks.
Borzási Attila honestly I prefer PC . Because most of my content is in 4K. PC is the most powerful for plex.
Borzási Attila router and external hdd is also good for 4K movies. So depends on you if you want to keep a PC on all the time or you want router and hdd. Both are good.
Thanks for the reply. So a NAS will be the choice.
not sure how but managed to connect and watch my nas media in my lg tv ty
Give us the steps asshat!
What hard drive do you use and how do you connect it to your oled tv ??
+Bend Em i am using Wetern Digital Hard Drive External 4TB. It is connected with Linksys EA9300.
I've just set up a usb SSD to my router and my of WebOS 55 tv sees the server I've make but it finds no video files why is this
Can you enable subtitles?
anyway to connect kodi to the LG oled?
Hi m8, everything works great but cannot drag files to HDD connected to router from my PC ? any ideas.
Make sure that your router allows read/write both and windows firewall settings are not blocking network sharing.
Thanx for the reply, i was looking in wrong folder needed to goto Readyshare :) works now thanx for the vid.
No problem. :)
On Windows is bad. It only play videos from windows media library which is not compatible with mkv. I installed shark codecs pack and I can play and see mkv on the PC library but on the TV they are invisible.
+ MyGadgetsWorld sorry for asking on such a long time - but will it work as fast from pc as fast from router with usb? is wifi internet browsing still available when used this way ?
Is this also possible with samsung 4k tv?
Yes but to tell u the truth Plex is more streamlined and u can do much more customisation.......
How do you make it play episode 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. automatically after episode 1 is over? I have an older LG, it continues to play the next episode automatically. The OLED doesn't do that for me. Is there a setting somewhere?
i have all the files numbered properly on the same folder. it continues play for me.
Great video, i have some questions though...
I want to buy an LG TV with DLNA (55UK6200), i have a Cisco EPC3925 that gets the optic cable from my provider. On this Cisco i have 2 PC's connected. If i get the TV i mentioned, and connect it to the same Cisco (with an ethernet cable), will i be able to play my .mkv movie files from my PC? And will this give me 4K@60hz and HDR (if the movie file supports that)?
I can't find this piece of information anywhere, please someone share his knowledge with me!
If you're using a pc as a plex server. Yeah easily, Although, this video is about eliminating the pc as a server.
not working for me. It sees the media server I've created but the webos does not see any hdd I've attached to my router or ask for a username and password.
The problem I have is I can't get the "photos" to work. If you click it , it shows nothing, empty.
Will this show video cover art
Ηello. I would like to know if LG CX can passthrough Dolby Atmos into my Denon 3700 receiver, when viewing a movie from my pc's harddrive via its integrated media player(plex)?
There is something wrong with your video, it seems to be when an add is about to play I get the ménage SOMETHING WENT WRONG tap to retry.
Well you tap to your hearts content but the video will not continue.
My WiFi is fine everything else is working correctly BUT I CANNOT SEE YOUR COMPLETE VIDEO.
I have a Synology NAS, that my LG Thin Q TV sees and it displays the Music, Video and Photos folders but when I click one of those folders I get a message saying that the folders are EMPTY, THEY ARE NOT.
Thanks, now i can stream my videos from my LG WebOS TV.
The only problem is, my Linksys Router's DLNA server, not showing all of the folder and file in my 2TB Ext HDD.
Only 3 folder can be seen in the WebOS DLNA browser.
Is there any limitation in Linksys Router's DLNA Server?
Anyone had the same problem?
Hi, yes I am facing the same problem. Only few folders from my 1TB ext HDD through router are showing up. I am using latest LG OLED TV CX OLED series, it was exciting initially but then when I increased the folders it stopped showing after particular number of folders. Not sure why. Do you have a solution or work around? I see that you posted this an year ago.
@@harikirandosapati3123 I'm using QNAP Nas now for the DLNA Server.
So the problem with folder limitation is gone.
Are you using Linksys Router as the DLNA Server?
From what i read on the net, Linksys firmware, limit the folder to show on DLNA. I don't know if this is true.
@@BlindBanditStory I am using TP-LINK ARCHER AX6000 Wifi6 router as Media server. May be it is a limitation of all routers in general. When I connect my 1TB SSD drive through router it shows some 6-7 folders, but if I connect the SSD drive directly to the TV it shows all the folders. So If I use dedicated NAS server , it will fix the problem?
@@harikirandosapati3123 Well I can't guarantee, but at least it working fine for me.
haha always those Planet Earth examples, Normally it will be stacked with mkv movies from NZB's, TPB or RARBG ;)
How can i uninstall media server from my tv?
subtitles not work-LG WebOS failed experiment
theres a way to make it work, and without transcoding...mkv + embeded subtitles
@@jpgpsantos Not a single update from more then 3 years t. Missing clipboard feature, rename, copy or move folders also. Like I said - fiasco OS. I can buy for 30$ cheap android box with enabled all this features and many more. Like millions apps and software. LG IS GARBAGE!!! Big GARBAGE. This will never be smart TV. It is just one good mouse. One mouse in store is 5$. Totally 25$! The TV Smart features are equal to how much? It is not wortet and 20$ compare it to the real features and software programs.
@@SoWhat07 I agree, but i meant a solution for the ones that only have an LG smart tv. Was is the same boat some days ago and it took me some experiments to conclude that mkv + embebed subtitles works perfectly via DLNA. Another solution would be video + external subtitles via USB. I would say that a dedicated android smart box would be the best in most of the cases independently of the tv brand. For now im happy with what i have. But yes, overall is not a good SO, and probably hard to maintain and extend with new features
Hi MyGadgetsWorld,
Great video! I use a netgear nighthawk r7000 router and using a wd mypassport external harddisk it works great! But i have one problem i cant solve yet and maybe you can help me. When i add with my computer a movie or a new folder on my harddisk it will not appear on my oled55c7. It will appear on any other device except on my tv. I tried to refresh the harddisk on the storage selection screen with using the refresh button on the right top corner but it wont work. I also tried to disconnect the tv to the internet and connect again but still no succes. Turning tv off and on again but still no appearance of the movie or folder. Even when i delete a folder from the disk the tv remembers the folder and still showing that folder. The only solution i found was disconnecting my harddisk from the router en connect it again but i think there might be a better solution.
Are you familiar with this problem??
Sven Gillis thanks Sven. Sometimes few files formats are not supported by TV that's why it doesn't show. It happens with me as my main setup is same as yours. I use Linksys Ea9300 router and sometimes TV doesn't play some file types but my apple Tv and shield TV can play using VLC player. See the file which plays on your TV and download that specific file type to play on TV.
Thank you for the quick response! But the issue is not the file format because its a mp4 and it works fine when he appears. Its just the tv wont refresh the data from the harddisk. When you open the harddisk on the tv for the first time he will remember all the folders/files in his memory no matter what kind of change you do for example delete or add something from your harddisk he will show the same folders/files that he saw on the first time of the connection and he wont refresh to the current data on the harddisk. When i plug the disk out of the router en put it back in he will show the changes. But that is of course to much work to do every time XD. I think i just have to deal with it.
Thanks!
Sven Gillis i get your point now. I have this setup without any issue so far. Maybe se have different routers. Or TV model is different with different software. I have to check more into this as I never faced such situation. I prefer to use my Nvidia Shield or Apple TV to play content through this DLNA system.
Sven Gillis same problem with an oled b6. :(
Hey, I have the Nighthawk R7450 and I am not able to find the media server(connected Hdd to router) in my LG C9. Can you please help me by telling me how to configured your router? Did you install custom OS or is the media server working fine with the stock firmware?
Thanks
Thanks
How do you get rid of sharing.
But no Fan Arts or Movie Wallpaper
Yeah that's right. Good point
@@MyGadgetsWorld This is why we would like a "Kodi" thing on our LG :(
@@Lewil16 You can already use Plex or Emby mediaserver to manage media in one place and connect LG TV and other devices as a client... much better than DLNA or standalone KODI player.
Let's not compare LG built in media server cause it doesn't stack up to Plex....you can do waaay more with Plex, customisation, it organizes libraries in a fast easy to use way, you get cover art, support for various file formats and subtitles,audio tracks which some TV's still struggle with till today.....the day TV manufactures do what Plex does....that will be the day Plex dies.
My oled plays it all, I don't need Plex for my own content.
I cannot for the life of me cast my movies from an external hard drive connected to my pc on my lg smart oled tv
No subtitles? DLNA Failed!!!
theres a way to make it work, and without transcoding...
@@jpgpsantos how to? Pedro, através do router? Tenho Vodafone smart router v2 - - > USB HD - - > dlna webos 3.5 lg
Mas, não aparecem as legendas, apenas os vídeos.
@@zexzem eu uso o meu pc como media server DLNA (o que vem com o windows 10), mas penso que com router
com usb e como servidor de DLNA, a solucao seria a mesma. O que faco e embutir as legendas no video (como faixa, nao estampado no video, pois isso requer reencoding e e um bocado nhec). Ou seja, o video tem uma faixa de video, uma (ou mais) de audio, e uma (ou mais) de legendas. Para isso uso a ferramenta MKVToolNix, que faz isso em alguns segundos, muito simples de usar. O output e um ficheiro mkv. Funciona 5 estrelas, apenas perco uns minutos para adicionar as legendas, mas foi a melhor solucao que encontrei. De outra forma as legendas nao sao vistas como media, e portanto nao sao partilhadas com o aparelho consumidor, no meu caso uma TV da LG.
@@jpgpsantosObrigado. Realmente o que uso é ligar o disco por USB diretamente à TV - USB > filmes - e uso o leitor da TV (filmes em pastas com srt. E funciona bem)
O que queria era utilizar o EMBY no telefone com o 'EMBY Server' app android. Pois ao ligar o disco ao router da Vodafone, ele aparece nas definições do EMBY mas não consigo definir o endereço...
Mesmo no PC não consigo co figurar o disco no EMBY.
@@zexzem usb diretamente ligado na tv era como tinha antes, e sim, assim funciona bem, com legendas externas com o mesmo nome que o ficheiro de video (excepto a extensao claro). Mas andava a procura de uma forma wireless para ser mais pratico e foi a solucao que encontrei. Nunca usei o EMBY, talvez com outro software funcione? O meu router nao tem usb, mas cheguei a ler algures que para os que tinham, era o router que faria de DLNA server, com o proprio software do router para isso.
Can you play srt subtitles?
John Spirou yes you can but make sure that srt file is in same folder.
+John Spirou yes you can if SRT file is in same folder.
Did you manage to play any movie with subs???
DLNA lack lot of features in comparsion with any advanced mediaserver like Plex or Emby. Also using a proper NAS (prebuild or DIY) is way better than use USB HDD connected to your wireless router. Both solution sucks...
It's a shame that the self-promoting "SUBSCRIBE FOR UPDATES" is burned in to the video thus covering up the app icon (especially the icon this is "in focus") - but yes, I do know that the main purpose is not to share information but to gain more followers... ;-)
Michael? You sound like Rajesh, to me.
You are using SAMBA protocol, not DLNA which is different as shown when you browse folders... on your PC shared thru the network. DLNA works differently. I have an LG OLED tv and I can tell everybody that on $2000 LG TV DLNA IS NOT WORKING RIGHT. i'm not able to seek VIDEOS played with a DLNA command, I wrote to LG and they havent' answered me. So THUMBS down for LG. DO NOT BUY LG OLED TV. SOFTWARE HAS POOR QUALITY.
Michele Agnello im playing this on lg oled e6p model though my router called EA9300 using LG dlna . Otherwise it won't be playing. Did you watch complete video. Follow this and you will be able to play.
Samba is much better than DLNA, works without any additional server software.
the video image is too poor, you need to fix it more
I have actually. It is very old video.
