The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is an open standard used for sharing media files within a home network.<\/p>\n
Before we go deep into the set up, know first that the device that sends the stream is the DLNS server, <\/em>while the receiving end is the DLNA renderer. <\/em>Both devices must be connected to the same network for them to work.<\/p>\n Set up a DLNA server on Windows<\/strong><\/p>\n Windows support DLNA server set up without the need for additional software. You can use Windows Media Player as a DLNA server, but you have to set it up as such: Select ‘Stream’<\/em> from the options then turn on media streaming. In the ‘Media streaming options’<\/em> that pops up, select ‘Turn on media streaming’ <\/em>then you’ll be directed to another dialog box where you can control which devices on the network can receive the stream. Easy peasy!<\/p>\n Android, iOS, Mac OS X, and Linux also have DLNA server function, as well as consumer Network-Attached Storage (NAS).<\/p>\n Set up DLNA compatible media players<\/strong><\/p>\n After setting up your server, it’s time to set up your renderer. Network capable HDTVs, players, and game consoles can already render DLNA. If you’re unsure, you can check your device’s home screen for music, pictures, and video options. Selecting one of these will give you a list of DLNA servers available on the network. Just select the server and media file you want to access and have it on your rendering device.<\/p>\n
