Windows 10: How do I get my One Drive files AND folders to show on the TV when streaming to it?

Currently, all my video files are in separate folders on One Drive and on my computer. However, when I go to the TV and try to stream a video, the folders are not shown, just the files. So, it looks like all of those files have been taken out of each folder and shoved into one huge folder. What I want to see is each folder on the TV and then when I select one of those folders, the related content actual video files are available.

Media Streaming via DLNA to a Sharp Smart Tv

Hello Colin,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. Have you tried streaming through a different PC?
   
2. Are you trying to stream the content through an external hard drive?
   

Since you are able to connect the PC to the TV, I suggest you to copy the files to a USB and connect it to the TV to check if you are able to play the files or not.



Please get back to us with the detailed information to assist you better with the issue.

Stream a DVD from PC to Smart TV

Hi Greg,

Thanks for your Patience.

Following are the points determined by the escalation team:

• The Windows 10 DVD Player app does not natively support media streaming by design.
• The only way the DVD can be "streamed" wirelessly to a TV is through connecting the TV as a wireless display.
• The only way this is possible is if the TV supports Miracast. If the TV is not Miracast-enabled, the user will not be able to stream DVD's.

Mira cast is a streaming protocol that lets users mirror content from their Windows PCs/Mobiles to their TV screens.

If your TV is Miracast enabled, Please follow the below steps to cast a DVD to a Miracast-compatible TV:

1. Open the Action Center by clicking on the notification icon next to the date and time in the lower right hand corner of the screen.

2. Click on the Connect tile.

3. The computer will now search for Miracast-enabled displays.

4. If a Miracast-enabled device is in range, it will show up on the list, click to connect.

5. The computer should now be casting the screen to TV.

6. Open the Windows DVD Player app and load a DVD into the disk drive.

7. The app should now auto-recognize the DVD and it should begin playing.

Hope the information helps, do reply if you need further assistance.

Thank you.

 

Stream a DVD from PC to Smart TV

We have Media Streaming enabled to the Samsung Smart TV in Advanced Sharing options. The problem is that neither Windows Media Player, Windows Media Center, Movies and TV app nor Windows DVD player can play a Movie DVD in the laptop DVD drive to the TV,
since it cannot be loaded into the Library List to Play to: TV.

Can anyone suggest how to make this work. I've searched everywhere on the web and am astounded it would be made so hard and unintuitive.

Especially irritating is that the Movies and TV app which is supposed to be the solution will not even show up under Autoplay for the DVD drive. Did someone forget that DVD's are still a popular way to play movies and will be until they all corrode?
