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.

 

DVD Player


Couple months ago I updated my OS from Windows 8.1 to 10. Yesterday I wanted to use my laptop's DVD player and I received "an unknown directory" error message and the DVD kept on ejecting. I am assuming that it is a DVD unit driver problem (Out-of-date Driver). Does anybody have any comments or suggestions?
Thx.

Eric

 

Watching DVD Movies on Windows 10 (or not)

I doubt a huge deal to most, but I hate it when they do that! *Shadedshun :shadedshu:
