If the TV claims to do this, I always have to check the manual and maker's web site to see how to set it up.
There's a reason why Apple TV tends to win folk over on this area.

I have a new LG 47" Smart TV and wanted to play music and video files currently stored on my home PC.
The TV is on the network and I can access the public folders and see the files but it wont play the MP3 music files.
WHat format do I need to RIP DVDs to so that they can be played across the network?
