    Accessing Windows 11 Desktop from Smart TV


    I have a new Sony OLED TV model XR65A95L.Selecting Inputs on the TV remote and then Media Server on the Sony menu results in a list of apparently visible resources on my local network.My Windows desktop PC shows up but when I select it, the response is "Please try again later".Curiously, when I select the Windows 11 laptop that also shows up in the list, I get access to some of the files on it; e.g. some of the pictures and some of the music.I'd like to be able to play video files directly from the Windows desktop PC.Is this even possible?Thanks.

    :)

    Connect a desktop pc to a Samsung smart tv

    I'm trying to connect a older Desktop pc with Window 10 to my Samsung f8000 smart tv via wifi or LAN. My desktop pc is ethernet cabled to the Sky home hub and the smart tv ethernet cabled to the hub as well. My smart tv appears in the connected devices
    list but it doesn't seem to connecting, is it because I need a wireless dongle??

    Accessing Windows 11 Desktop from Smart TV

    Windows Media Player 11 only displays folder-names on Smart-TV

    I am using Windows Media Player 11.2305.4.0 within Win 11 22H2. Numerous MP4 video-files are stored on my D: HDD. (I do not use C: for video) I was able to access and view these videos on my smart-TV for several months. BUT - after attempting some fine-tuning, I can no longer access these files on my TV. I have deleted and recreated my Video LIBRARY... but problems continue. All files and sub-folders are visible when using WMP on the PC --- but only the sub-folder names are listed on my TV-screen. Any suggestions?
