NX803 - can't access / see shared folders on PC

CAG000 — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 22:47:10 GMT

I have a Sony NX803. This is connected wirelessly to a router. Conncted to the same router I have a PC. I've made some photo folders shared. But I can't see these folders on the TV. I've turned off firewalls, etc, on my PC but still have the problem. I've tried google'ing the problem but no luck. Anyone any ideas?

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks.

Craig

Hi Craig

What DLNA/sharing software are you using on your PC to enable this?

Thanks

Ah, that's maybe where I'm going wrong! No DLNA software installed. Went into a Sony shop and was told didn't need any software (though I have to admit the assistant didn't instill me in any confidence in it's tech skills).

Any recommended software?

Thanks for your help.

Head over here - http://www.serviio.org/ for great free software that plays nice with BRAVIA and point it in the direction of your folders.
