Samsung Wiselink Pro - play movies for 3-4 minutes only

Mar 8, 2009 7:17AM PDT

Hi,

I have a strange problems. I have an LE46A856 and I love it.
The wiselink pro (via a LAN Cable) is great for photos and music, but with movies I have some problems ...

I can see the movies, and play them, still, the TV plays the movies for about 2-3 minutes and then switch over to the next one.
Needles to say that is annoying, I can not play a single whole movie via the Wiselink (unless its 2 minutes long Happy )

My setup is:
- wireless router connected to the TV via a LAN cable
- the PC is connected to the router via wireless link (54g)
- PC is running Vista
- I am using Samsung pcshare 1.4.3

I dont expect any firewall issues as I can see the TV and the TV sees the correct pc with the correct defined port.

Please advise...

Thanks,
Tazzzzzzzzz

Hmm.. I noticed that some movies do work and some only work for 3-4 minutes.. I am guessing it has got to do with the file format or maybe got to do with wireless.

I will investigate if its the file format..

Ok, I managed to progress a little bit with this.
I placed the router and the PC next to the TV (avoiding the woreless setting).
ALL my movies plays absolutly fine with no issues at all.

It is something with the wifi.
I raised a call with Samsung UK (?) and I am waiting for thier feedback.
