Virtual media server. Installed the basic DLNA Home Media Server (HMS) setup on Windows. About multimedia streaming and DLNA technology

UPnP (abbreviationUniversal Plug and Play) – a set of merezhevyh protocols, which are published by the same forum.

Forum UPnP є vіdkritoy аsotsіatsiєyu representatives і v galuzі z vіroblennya stanіvіn UPnP tekhnologii, іє є є є є є є є є є є є є є є є є є є є є є є є є є є'dnannya іntelektualny і іntelektualnyh podstroіv spochatku spochatku spochatku spochatku rіvnі domіchі, and zgodom - corporate merezh.

UPnP will be based on such standards and technologies as TCP / IP, UDP, HTTP, XML, and will automatically connect between similar devices and work in the same room.

In such a case, in order to give access, for example, to the resources of an FTP server hosted on a PC, it is necessary to perform a port transfer operation on the router and assign a static IP address to the computer.

Get respect! Because of the UPnP functions on the routers, all the settings for port forwarding are set to automatic mode, this is the way for people who only repair the computer. The downside of UpnP is a decrease in the security of home security.

For most vipadkiv koristuvach otrimuє router with the activated UpnP mode. Let's check the activation of this mode in the settings of our router.

For which one in any available browser, you should write the IP address of your router (sound 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1), enter your login and password.

TP Link

Distributed "Forwarding" (Forwarding), expanded "UpnP" - "Status - Enabled (Uvіmkneno)"

D-Link

Expanded Advanced, expanded Advanced Network added a flag to the Enable UPnP field.

ASUS

Distributed "Internet", the tab "Connection" - "Enable UpnP" ensign of the settings in the "So" field.

In addition, as the UPnP mode has been added to the router, it is necessary to also add it as an add-on, which means port forwarding.

For example, to enable UpnP in Skype you need to go to the branch "Dodatkovo", pіdrozdіl "Z'ednannya" and put an ensign "Turn UpnP".

We create a DLNA home media server

DLNA- a technology that allows you to combine into a single digital network an add-on with a method of receiving / transmitting and reviewing various media content in on-line mode.

In practice, it looks like this, a computer with a hard disk with a larger capacity, on which photographs, films, audio recordings and other media content are saved.

Why do you want to look at one of the films not on a PC screen, but on TV with a great diagonal?

Or friends have come before you and you want to show photos from the entrance, either on the big screen of the TV, or on the telephone, to those who do not want to go into the booths.

Do you want to see your media files on your personal device (phone, tablet)?

The problem is being solved by the PC-based media server and by combining all the outbuildings into a single line behind the help of the router.

We destroy your respect However, routers that support 802.11N (data transfer rate up to 300 Mbps) can't handle large streaming high-density video connections over Wi-Fi and the TV screen will show up.

Zavantazhuєmo and install the program.

After the installation is completed, please indicate which directory that type of content will be translatable in the measure (button "Add" on the right panel of the program).

The choice is made by the way of installing green dots opposite to the corresponding directories for that type of content.

In order to add resources, placements on rimmed or outer disks, it is necessary to put the ensigns in the upper columns near the lower part of the window.

If necessary, you can add the program to autoload and install the service "Home media server", to allow the program to run in automatic mode after the computer is turned on.

To launch the DLNA server, press the "Start" button at the top panel of the program, after which you need to turn on the TV.

To launch the content, right-click on the file and in the context menu, select "Review on..." replace three points will be your attachment (ours has a TV set).

Not long ago, I realized that the TV sets dossi rebuvayut at the past century. As mobile gadgets and computers become more and more handy, smart and simple, the only thing that changes in TVs is the expansion of the screen and the expansion of buildings. For the time being, it’s not varto to talk about clarity.

A TV set without a media server on a computer, or a special device - it’s practically a marna richer, just because you don’t like to hang out, so I chose 5 best media servers for a computer, so that you can pump your TV set and add more functionality.

Plex

Plex is the most popular and, perhaps, a handy option. Having launched the server on a computer, you can access it from a browser, set up a media library, add subtitles and more. All the information about the Plex movie is captured automatically and it works perfectly in 9 out of 10 steps. The only disadvantage of Plex and other similar programs is that the TV does not have subtitles for films, but for the most part it does not mean much.

Plex is available free of charge, but additional features may require an additional fee.

I've been using this server for a long time on an old TV set. Pratsyuє vin to do good and on the vіdmіnu vіd Plex, HMS tsіy harvester, the functionality of anything I do not know between. The only minus will be the program's frivolous interface, but the shards of it will be needed for making films on television, but you will not become a great problem. The program is absolutely cost-free and only available in the version for Windows.

The back of the PS3 Media Server has been expanded as an addition to the PlayStation 3, which allows you to play movies on TV for an additional console. Then the program began to live, let's make a living. Like the previous alternatives, they support the implementation through DLNA and do not interfere with the hacks.

Serviio is far from being the most popular media server, but it also deserves a place in our top. For $25, you can buy the PRO version, which gives you access to your content, not only at home, and allows you to play content from the web (this function is given as a recognized free version). Serviio has programs for Android, however, they act as an additional remote control for the server part on the computer.

Kodi (more XBMC)

XBMC is designed to install the video playback function on the Xbox. Let's keep the project alive and at the same time, Kodi is one of the most popular media centers, which supports almost all platforms through open source code. Kodi has programs for iOS and Android, which allow you to turn your smartphone into a remote control. The service lives on a donation and is absolutely cost-free.

For me, the clear leader is Plex. And what are you rooting for?

As part of this article, I will write how to create a home media server for Windows 10. The creation of a DLNA server allows you to host a media library on your PC for other attachments. We are proud of those who have Smart TV.

What is a DLNA server?

DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) is a special protocol that allows various devices to transmit and receive media traffic (video, music, photos) from the home local media, as well as broadcast yoga in real time.

If you add on to this technology, you can set it up and automatically combine it into a single mesh behind the trunks of the coristuvach.

What is needed for streaming creation?

Please! In order to display media content on another device (tablets, smartphones or smart TVs), do not necessarily set up a DLNA server, homegroup, or allow shared access to a folder. Speed ​​up the function.

For the work of the home media server in Windows 10, it is not obligatory to open the folder for open access in the media. You can rebuy at the globally accessible yard (to be shown along the yard line), but you will work on the stream.

To set up a DLNA server on Windows 10, you need:

1. Two attachments are connected to the same home local area (for example, connected to one router). How many attachments will be connected (LAN or Wi-Fi), no role played.
2. So Smart TV (or other attachment) was promoted and promoted DLNA technology. LG TVs call it Smart Share, Samsung - AllShare, Philips - Simple Share.

Nalashtuvannya

You can set up a home media server in several ways:

• for assistance in the development of Windows 10;
• for the help of special programs.

Waking up with Windows 10

To include:

1. In the Windows 10 prompt row, enter the query "Streaming media settings" and select the program found.
2. Press "Enable multimedia transfer".
   
3. The extensions, which are located in the merezh, may have access to multimedia files. For bazhannyam, deyakі can be seen or carried out їх nalashtuvannya.
   
4. Having selected the checkbox “Vykoristovuvaty parameters for locking”, you can set up some filters, as they will be fixed for which I will add.
5. Now you can access to the broadcast of multimedia from the "Music", "Video" and "Image" folders on the TV. To upload a video from any place to a broadcasting attachment, right-click on the file and select "Bring to Attachment" in the context menu.
   
6. The Windows media program is being verified, through which I will send a request to the merezhny annex. Then the content is launched and broadcast on Smart TV.
7. A similar function is in the player "Kino and TV". It is necessary to take into account the fact that a player of vibraniums "for locking", that and vikoristovuvatime for streaming creation.
   

If you want to broadcast directly from the TV, place the media content in a folder accessible to your home or add a new one. You can use Windows Media Player for help:

For help programs

In fact, there are not many cost-free and handy programs with the necessary functionality. The middle program for the DLNA server would like to indicate:

Zagal, in a similar way to set up streaming in Windows 10, the program can be more fine-tuned. The stench works with playlists, without any audio and video formats (including RAW), you can easily sort and navigate. The interface is easy for rozumіnі and is not to blame for the complexity of the difficulties of the sizable coristuvach.

Please! If you use the Android Box, you can access media. For anyone on a Windows 10 computer. On Android, select ES-Explorer, open LAN and press Scanuvati. Select knowledge from local attachments and you will deny access to the shared folder.

If you want to create, on the basis of a TV set and a computer, a home network, as we give all the possibilities for creating content of a different format, then you can learn how to set up a home media server. Let's see how to install a program for creating a server, and then we'll wonder, how much opportunity there is for koristuvachs.

Installation of computer and TV

The first step is to install a home media server, it is necessary to turn on the power supply from the computer connection to the TV. It is better to install a remote installation of attachments, a twisted LAN cable and a router. Obviously, it is possible to vicorate a non-rotor connection, protetodes become fallow due to the tightness of the antenna and the visibility / visibility of the transition.

In order to avoid possible problems from watching films in Full HD format, it is better to use a LAN cable, carefully laying it between a computer, a router and a TV.

The router, obviously, is to blame for the hacks for getting into the network, otherwise no media server is practical. Once you figured out the power, how to set up the Internet on Windows 7, you can go directly to installing and setting up the program.

Installed software

Get the software distribution package to get it installed. Get better from the official site, because the current version of the utility is posted here. You can choose two types of attachments - the *.exe file or the archive format. There are no retailers among them, so choose to your taste.

The installation process itself is borderline simple: you only need to specify a directory in which to save the program files, and download, and you need to create a program shortcut on the desktop.

After setting the parameters in the installation, press the "Install" button. Wait until the installation is completed, so that the programs can be adjusted.

Programming

At the first launch of the program, it may appear with cob settings, where you need to select your media attachments.
It is necessary to display the list of formats through which the list of formats that are rendered should be displayed according to the type of possession specified by you in the field “Initiated support”.

If your TV can change the format, there are none in the field "Introduced support", mark the item "Good addition". Write by hand the format that suits your possessions, and press "Dali" to go to the upcoming window.

At the "Catalogs of media resources" window, you need to create directories visible for your add-on ("share") or local disks. For locking open standard folders, but not to stray from them, it is better to allow access to local disks. To complete the procedure, tick off the disks that you want to make available through the media server, and press the "Scan" button.

You can also manually add catalogs or other extensions. For which you need to press the "Add" button, select the desired directory and start the scanning process.

After scanning local and external disks in the program interface, you can download the latest list of audio, video and photos that are saved on your computer.

Remember that the more multimedia information the programs will have to revise, the more it will start up, do not overdo it with a large number of "expanded" catalogs.

The next point for setting up is the backup parameters. You can choose your way to save a backup copy, how to win for updating these programs, or delete everything.

After pressing the "Vikonati" button, the process of creating a backup copy will start. You can specify which parameters should be saved in the backup-file by ticking them. After the completion of the reservation procedure, press the "Close" button.

Server start

After setting all the important parameters, you can go directly to the DLNA server on your computer. For which it is necessary to click on the "Start" button - a message will appear on the screen that the start was successful.

After starting the server, you need to turn on the TV. If the connection is set correctly, the wine will appear on the tab "Additional connection" in the program. If the list is empty, update it for the help of a special button on the right-hand panel.

Test the server by running the files from the computer on the TV screen:

If the "Home Media Server" program is configured correctly, you will see a file launching from your computer on the TV screen. However, do not download media files from the computer manually, so you need to learn how to start them right on the TV.

If the program does not respect you on your computer, close it by pressing a red cross. The work of the home server is completed, nothing is cleared up, the fragments of the add-ons do not fade away, it is less likely to burn into the system tray.

Viewing files on TV

After setting up the server on the computer, you can go to the TV set and navigate through the new opening of the “shared” folder. On different models of the TV set, the connection to the created server works in its own way. For example, the LG add-on may have introduced the Smart Share program.

Choose how to create a home server signal. If this item is not in the list, update the list again.

Do not forget to configure the firewall by turning it on at the same time; Otherwise, the firewall is blocking, try connecting the TV to the home server.

If you select a signal, you will open a directory of folders, among which directories will be shared on the computer. You can launch available files and watch them on your TV screen.

Mobility zastosuvannya

The Home Media Server program gives homeowners a little bit of opportunity, which allows them to expand the functionality of a great TV to the level of their home center.

Interactive TV broadcast

In order to be successful with all the advantages of interactive communication, you can upgrade the TV channel of Rostelecom. Another option that allows you to get by without installing an additional site with a provider is to get an interactive TV playlist and run it through your home media server.

To work with IPTV, you need to install VLC Player. The installation of this program does not need to be done at the koristuvach-pochatkivtsya, so as a manual installation master, everything is done automatically - you only need to press the "Dal" button.

The next step is the restart of the home media server, which is hit by the pressure of a special button on the top panel of the program.

Then you can go to the TV and select the Internet TV folder in the media server directory. Once you've made a working playlist and installed it correctly, check out the list of views on the new channel.

Obviously, the price is not the best option for creating an interactive TV channel, especially if you have a smart TV, or the IPTV function is configured as a provider. However, even though there is nothing more than a home server, then the Home Media Server program can be called the most adequate solution.

If your TV does not support Smart TV, or if you want to be able to watch online broadcasts, then you can delegate some of the smart TV functions to the Home Media Server program, and podcasts are installed.

Podcasts in this way - these files, which allow you to run online movies on your TV without interruption. For example, on the forums of the official website of the program "Home Media Server" it is fashionable to make a podcast for the creation and creation of video files from the social network VKontakte.

Download the required podcast to your computer and download yoga from the brand new program, just like you did with the interactive TV playlist file.

Expand the distribution of "Pidkasti" and choose the additions you want for online broadcasting. Press the right button on the new one and select "Update".

Wait until the update process is completed and go to the TV. Find the folder "Pidkasti" and select in the middle of it I will be interested in the program through the media server.
