Ive just got my wifi stick to plug into my samsung ps51d550 tv and was wondering how i can turn it into a monitor over the wifi connection?

tversity and win media sever have been picked up by the tv but it wont play any of the files (films pics, and wont even see the music folders/files) but i am just downing allshare which i is what i need for this "i think", but i would also like to use it as a second monitor now and again the pc is in a different room and the tv is on the wall so hardwire isnt an option..

any of you guys know of a prog / way to do this?

music if fine it was me id moved the root folder and forgot, but it wont detect any video files .avi .mkv etc at all just empty folders via allshare and with tversity win media server it sees them but will not play them.. (they all work fine via ps3) there is also a dvd in the pooters drive which allshare will not let me share and tversity shows it but tv will not play it

that works a treat for the play back from ripped files on the hdd etc!!

any idea how to watch direct from the dvd drive also, and use tv as a monitor?

You can't unless your TV supports it and while I don't generally follow them I've never heard such capability mentioned.

surley theres a prog out there somewhere all its basically doing is transmiting a video image via wifi same as a film from the hdd..
