Hi all,
I am really not au fait with this kind of technology, and don't even know the terminology to search for to try and work it out myself. Would anyone mind helping me by letting me know if what I want to do is even possible, and if so, how?
I currently watch films that are on my laptop, through my Samsung UE40D6530, so I'm assuming it's the same sort of principal to watch the video I'd like to loop. However, I've no idea how to make it loop? I haven't picked the video yet, but it could be anything between 10 and 60 seconds only I imagine, that I'd like to have displayed on the TV. Would it be possible to do this? Normally I click the 'source' button on the TV remote, and then navigate to the video file and click ok, then it runs. I don't think there are many options when doing this, but maybe there is a loop option somewhere I am not aware of. Otherwise, maybe I'd have to loop it with some kind of software on my laptop and somehow get the TV to 'see' the laptop monitor rather than load a file?
The connection between laptop and TV is over a wireless network btw.
And at the same time as the video is looping, I'd like to load up a playlist of music files. Idealling I'd like to simply use my itunes library on random but I have a feelign this may not be possible, and I'd have to load up a music file through the TV as per the way I load up films (once a file comes to an end, the TV automatically starts the next one, so it would cycle through all the files I put in my playlist folder).
Is this combination of looped video and music files possible to set up at all?
I'd be very grateful for any help at all!
thanks
Charlotte
