Local service "HOME Media Server"(HMS), deployed on a user's computer with IP address 192.168.1.2 will be available from playlists, but requires some additional setting.
Installing and configuring Home Media Server (User Manual Baryon.)
Advantages of viewing a video in this way before viewing the built-in player by DLNA:
- no "brakes" when viewing files m2TS., with rewinding;
- view files from the media server located outside your local network Using all HMS features
I recommend version 1.19, it seemed to me, in this version web interface works more stable (in other versions there is sometimes an empty window in the browser). Direct link to file: http://www.homemediaserver.ru/files/119/ setup_ms.exe
If you do not come across this program, here are the basic settings:
Select on the tab "Devices" "Television samsung. (DLNA, 16: 9, 1920x1080) "
and click on the tool icon in the "Device Device Type" string. In the device settings window, select the Checkbox. Web.
Here, on the bookmark "Additional"it is necessary to remove the check "Creating media resource playlists in Web navigation mode"
Now HMS will be available at: http: // Your IP: 45397. The port number is defined on the bookmark "Server".
For sure to disable video recoding, which is turned on about and without reason, I recommend to delete everything except tsmuxer. and hMSmpeg. in the window "Transcoder profiles",pre-installing Galka "Transcoding buffer - without disk using"
Note: transcoder tsmuxer. Does not reset the video stream, but only changes the source video file container on MPEGTS (with the extension remains the same), which absolutely does not impair the image quality; transcoder hMSmpeg. In combination S. tsmuxer. Transcoding only audio streams (DTS, DTS-MA, AC-3) in AC-3 (helps when sound is interrupted on BD-REMUX).
Transcoding loads the computer processor with HMS and, if the compaction is weak, may not cope with this task, which in turn will cause the "brake" in the image.
In most cases, for the embedded Samsung player, it is not necessary to recode or translate or transcode and to play the file unchanged, it is necessary in the HMS directory tree to move in such a sequence:
Movies-transcoding-catalogs MediaResours - the name of the directory- (T) file name-(O) file name
- It's important to know:
- rewind is possible only when viewing non-transcoding files;
- pause works when playing both original and transcoded files;
- in files m2TS. With a single track DTS-MA. neither pause nor rewind
http: // iP Computer with HMS installed:45397
The browser should open a window with directories:
If the IP address of the computer on which HMS is installed on 192.168.1.2 In order for the HMS directory structure in the application, you must either change the IP of the computer to the specified one, or add a block with your IP to the starting playlist of the application: start.xml.:
- For app nstreamlmod.
<!]>
tsnakeman.
http: //syt/widget/logo/hms.png. - For app OVP (Online Video Player)
<!]>
It must be borne in mind that the application message:
Not Correct Server Response Status: 1007!
It may appear if port 45397 blocks the firewall.
In this article, I want to tell once again about how to create on a computer (laptop, netbook) DLNA server. This will allow you to watch movies and photos on the TV, as well as listen to music that are on your computer.
But, as the result, it turned out with the Smart Share application there are many problems. It does not start, it gives different errors, or it is independently closed. You can read about it in the comments that visitors left to the article, the link to which is above.
There is very good and absolutely free program “Homemade media server (UPNP, DLNA, HTTP) "which is an excellent analogue of Smart Share from LG, or for example, Allshare from Samsung.
"Home Media Server (UPNP, DLNA, HTTP)" This is such a universal program with which you can run a DLNA server, and connect to it almost from any TV that supports DLNA technology (And if you have a Wi-Fi, or a network connector, then it most likely supports this technology). In principle, the DLNA client may not only be a TV, but for example a play bailium.
This manual is suitable for TVs from different manufacturers: LG, Samsung, Toshiba, Sony, etc. Compared to branded applicationssuch as Smart Share, "Home Media Server (UPNP, DLNA, HTTP)" has large quantity Settings.
We will not delve into all the nuances, and consider only how to open sharing to the desired folders, or disks. How to create a server and how to start watching the movie dLNA technology On the TV.
Connecting TV for DLNA technology
Before you start setting up the program, we need to connect the TV with a computer, or a laptop. If you already have everything connected, for example, through a router, you can go to the next item.
We need to connect a laptop and a TV to the network. If you have a router at home, it is enough to connect your computer to this router, via cable, or Wi-Fi, it does not matter. And you need to connect the TV to the same router. Connect the TV as well, or by Wi-Fi (We look at the connection instructions ) .
Our task is that TV and computer (in my case laptop)were connected to one router. I have a TV to the Wi-Fi router LG 32LN575U. and laptop ASUS K56CM.. In their example, this instruction will be.
And what to do if there is no router?
In this case, you can connect a computer with a TV with a network cable directly. Just take the right length network cable (it can be enclosed in almost any computer store)and connect the TV with a computer.
It looks like this:
Connection in this way should work perfectly. But I have a TV refused to see the server created on the laptop. But, in the program "Home Media Server (UPNP, DLNA, HTTP)" TV was displayed and I could start viewing a photo from the most laptop, and the photo appeared on the TV.
It also has a thought, how to connect them without a cable and without a router. But, not sure what happens and suits this method only for televisions that have the ability to connect to Wi-Fi.
You can try on the laptop to create a computer-computer connection, which I wrote about in the article. " Then, connect the TV to the created access point and try to access files on your computer.
I think that the connection figured out. Let's go to the server setting.
Setting up the program "Home Media Server (UPNP, DLNA, HTTP)"
To begin with, we need to download and install the program itself. I advise you to download from the official website: https://www.homemediaserver.ru/index.htm. There are always there a new version And so safer.
Save the archive to the computer. To install, simply run the setup.exe file, which is in the archive. I will not describe the entire installation process, it is simple. Follow the instructions.
After installation, run the program with a shortcut on the desktop.
Let's go right away in the program settings. There we will not do anything special. We just specify local discs, flash drives, external hDDand, or folders, the contents of which, we want to see on the TV. For example, you can only open several folders with movies, photos and music.
A window with settings opens. In the first category Media resourcesWe need to specify which discs, or folders we want to see on the TV. Default, there are open standard folders With photos, videos and music.
The program is trying to sort. And what would not be confused in all these folders on the TV, I advise you to open sharing local disks. By default, if I'm not mistaken, access to them is already open. Check if the checkbox is installed near Local disks.
If installed, this means that you can open any file that is stored on these local discs. (Discs C, D, E, etc.).
You can also specify individual folders, or for example outdoor hard disk. To do this, click on the right button. Addand select in Explorer the desired folder, USBA, or hard disk.
We can see to what folders and disks, we opened access. We can delete selected folders. These are the basic settings if you look, then there are a lot of settings, there will not be very much, I will not consider it. To save, click on the button OK.And agree to the scan of media resources.
We are waiting until the program scans the folders and disk. Next, you can already run the DLNA server itself. For this, just click on the button " Running“.
We observe the message that the server is running.
Now, just turn on the TV. If everything is connected correctly, it should appear in the Home Media Server (UPNP, DLNA, HTTP) program. To do this, go to the tab Playback Devices (DMR)and right, click Refresh.
If our TV appears, then everything is fine. You can try to start viewing a photo, right from the program.
If the TV does not appear in the program, and on the TV you can also see the server created by us, first of all, check the connection. Whether the TV is connected to the network, and whether the laptop is connected.
Then, completely disconnect antiviruses and firewalls. They can block access to the server.
To do this, in the main program window (at the top), select one of the tabs: movies, music, or photos.
In the left window, media content will appear, which is in those folders and disks to which we opened access. Right-click, for example, on the photo and select "Play on", I choose our TV further.
The photo immediately should appear on the TV screen.
Similarly, you can run video playback and music. So, we can from the program "Home Media Server (UPNP, DLNA, HTTP)" to run playback on the TV screen.
But it is not always convenient. Much better, go through the TV, and open files. To do this, leave a running server. You can hide the program "Home Media Server (UPNP, DLNA, HTTP)". Click on a red cross (Close the program)And she hides on the notification panel.
At the same time, the server will work and you can enter the computer from the TV.
Run view files by DLNA from the TV
So the server on the computer is running, the files for viewing are open.
Now, we are on the TV, you need to go to the program that is responsible for working with DLNA technology. For example, in LG, this is Smart Share. On other TVs, this application may be called differently.
For example, to launch Smart Share in LG, go to Smart TV (Blue Button on the Remote) And choose Smart Share. If there is no Smart TV on the TV, but there is a DLNA, then the process can differ.
Open folder My computerAnd we see our local disks there, and other folders to which we opened access.
Afterword
"Home Media Server (UPNP, DLNA, HTTP)" is actually a very cool program, with a large number of settings. We also reviewed the opening general access to files and server start. When I started watching the movie through the Smart Share program, the laptop went into sleep mode, and the playback was interrupted. In the "Home Media Server (UPNP, DLNA, HTTP)" there is a blocking that does not allow the computer to switch to sleep mode when it is used as a server.
I hope you all happened, and you now watch your favorite films on big Screen TV using DLNA technology.
If something failed, write in the comments, we will try to figure out.
If you get access to your own home media server for Windows, then your ability to use the accumulated information will be significantly expanded.
It happens very useful if there are not one at home, but several PCs and TVs, but even on mobile phones, laptops and consoles server will simplify the use of information, because they will combine everything into one network.
With the help of such a network, any user can view the available photos and videos, listen to music and so on using the desired device for this.
1. Home Media Server - this ...
This is a special software that makes it possible to simplify information between devices connected home network - for example, smartphone, computer and TV and other equipment with similar technology.You will need a DLNA for its operation (data streaming standard) and free Apps Type: " Home Media Server UPNP, DLNA, HTTP».
Each of the devices may be associated with a single network using a "wired" connection, even if the home network setting is very complex and with clocks. But this option will provide an incredible speed of up to 1000 megabytes per second.
The second option is wireless connection Devices via Wi-Fi Router, which can maintain speed up to 300 megabytes per second. But when watching video as 4k and 1920r, hanging is possible.
But this connection is greatly simplified - because it requires only a router setting up and connecting TVs, smartphones and PCs to it.
Most often choose exactly the second option - wireless networks Due to the simplified method of connecting and the minimum number of wires around the rooms.
Yes, and in modern worldMost of the equipment simply does not have the right connectors, the same tablets and smartphones.
2. Create a DLNA server
To create a DLNA server, you first need to download and install special software on PC.Today for all systems from Windows 7 and above, you need to perform the following actions:
- through the "Management Item" to go to the "home group";
Picture
If such a "home group" has already been created, then the list of devices connected to it currently will be shown.
If the group is absent, then it must be created using a special item "Create home groups", it is done through the "Creation Wizard". Next, you need to specify which information on the main PC information will be opened for any connected device.
To view movies from the Winchester PC, you need to choose " streaming on all devices. "
The same item will be needed in order to create a DLN server.
We save the changes made and wait for the end of applying the desired settings. During the creation of such a network, the password for it will be set automatically. View password is available in the section "Show or Print Password home group", I changed it can be in the same paragraph with the appropriate name.
3. Setting up a DLNA server created
After creating a DLNA server, you need to configure it, and to start, select the name of the library itself.
In a special menu of "streaming", devices will be specified that are already connected to the network.
You can quickly access the DLN server settings using windows player Media Player.
On the PC, you should open this application, it will be a "home server".
Thus, on a TV that does not support any format, playback of music and video will be possible.
4. Special programs for settings
Creature DLNa.server can occur with other applicationsHome MediaServer is one and those programs that makes it easy to work with PC files. You can download it on the official website in Russian.
Plex- no less convenient work with media files. The server can be launched on a PC, and controlling it can be done from the menu of the Plex itself or through the browser. Judging by user reviews to 90% of them are satisfied with the work of the program.
PS3 / PS4. - Media server, needed to work with the attachments of the same name, namely: Sony Play Station 4 and 3.
Using simple settings and software and even windowsYou can personally create a home network for communicating home devices locally.
This will greatly simplify viewing various programs or movies on a TV, without buying a package of services for a certain telecomania, and this will make it possible to withdraw information from the Internet to any gadget in the house.
If you want to create a TV and computer based on a TV and computer, which will provide all the options for playing content of various formats, then you should be interested to know how to configure your home media server. Let's study how to install the program for creating a server, and then see what options it provides users.
Computer connection and TV
Before you start installing a home media server, you must resolve the issue with the computer connection to the TV. It is better to carry out a wire connection of devices using the LAN cable and router. Of course you can use wireless connectionHowever, then you become addicted to the power of the antenna and the presence / absence of obstacles.
To avoid possible problems With playback of films in Full HD format, it is better to use the LAN cable, carefully paving it between the computer, the router and TV.
The router naturally needs to be configured to enter the network, otherwise there will be no media server. If you dealt with the question of how to configure the Internet on Windows 7, you can go directly to the installation and configuration of the program.
Program installation
Download the program distribution to proceed to its installation. Download better from the official site, as the current and verified version of the utility is posted here. You can select two types of boot - as a * .exe file or in the archive format. There is no difference between them, so choose your taste.
The installation process itself is extremely simple: you only need to specify the directory in which the executive files of the application will be stored, and decide whether to create a shortcut program on the desktop.
After assigning the installation parameters, click the Install button. Wait until the installation is completed to start setting up the program.
Setting up the program
When you first start the program should appear with initial settingsWhere you need to choose your media device. 
Depending on the type of equipment you specified in the "Built-in Support" field, it will be displayed through the comma list of supported formats.
If your TV can play some formats that are not in the "Built-in Support" field, then check the "Arbitrary Device" item. Write manually supported by your equipment formats and click "Next" to go to the next settings window.
In the "Media Resource Catalogs" window, you need to be made visible for your device ("split") catalogs or local and network discs. By default, standard folders are open, but to not be confused with them, it is better to allow access to local disks. To perform this procedure, tick the discs you want to make accessible through the media server, and click the Scan button. 
You can also manually add directories or external media. To do this, click the "Add" button, select the directory you need and run the scanning process. 
After scanning local and removable disks in the program interface, you can see a complete list of audio, video and photos stored on your computer.
Remember that the more multimedia information program will have to check, the longer it will be run, so do not overdo it with the number of "shared" directories.
Next setting item - Parameters reserve copy. You can specify your storage path backupused to restore the program data, or leave everything as it is. 
After clicking the "Run" button, the backup process will start. You can specify what parameters you need to save in the backup file, marking them with checklocks. After the data reduction procedure is completed, click the Close button.
Launch Server
After configuring all important parameters, you can switch directly to the server DLNA on the computer. To do this, click on the "Run" button - a message appears on the screen that the start has passed successfully. 
Running the server, you need to turn on the TV. If the connection is set correctly, it will appear on the Playback Device tab in the program. If the list is empty, update it with special buttons On the panel on the right. 
Test the server by running the files from the computer on the TV screen:
If the "Home Media Server" program is configured correctly, you will appear on the TV screen from the computer. But opening media files from the computer is not always convenient, so you need to learn how to further run them directly on the TV. 
So that the program does not interfere with you on the computer, close it by clicking on the Red Cross. The work of the home server will not be completed, since the application does not turn off completely, but only comes to the system tray.
View files on TV
After setting up the server on the computer, you can go to the TV and try to open the "shared" folders through it. On the different models TV connection to the created server is performed in its own way. For example, LG devices have a built-in Smart Share application. 
Select the created home server as a source. If there is no such item in the list, update the source list.
Do not forget to configure the firewall, temporarily turning it off; Otherwise, the firewall will block the TV attempts to connect to the home server.
After selecting the signal source, you will see the folder directory, among which will be "shared" on the computer catalogs. You can run the available files and watch them on your TV screen.
Opportunities
The Home Media Server provides users with several interesting features that allow you to expand the functionality of a regular TV to the level of the present home entertainment center.
Interactive television
To enjoy all the advantages of interactive broadcasting, you can customize Rostelecom television. But there is another option to do without the conclusion of an additional contract with the provider - Download Playlist interactive television And run it through a homemade media server.
To work IPTV, you must install the VLC Player program. The installation of this application will not cause care of even a novice user, since the convenient installation wizard makes everything automatically - only press the "Next" button remains.
Next step - restart homemade Media Server, which is performed by pressing a special button on top panel programs. 
After that, you can go to the TV and select the Internet Television folder in the media server directory. If you downloaded the working playlist and installed it correctly, you will see a list of channels represented in it. 
Of course, this is not the most convenient version of the playback of interactive television, especially if the user has a Smart TV or the IPTV function from the provider is configured. However, if nothing but the home server is not, then the use of the Home Media Server program can be called the most adequate solution.
If your TV does not support Smart TV, but you want to have the opportunity to watch online broadcasts, you can delegate some of the "smart television" functions of the Home Media Server program using installed podcasts.
Podcasts B. this case - These are files that allow you to directly run online cinema on your TV. For example, on the forum of the official website of the "Home Media Server" application, it is fashionable to download a podcast for playing and controlling video files from social network In contact with.
Load the desired podcast on your computer and throw it into the main program window, as you did with the playlist file of interactive television. 
Expand the "Podcasts" section and select the online broadcast you downloaded. Click on it right-click and select "Update". 
Wait until the update process is completed and go to the TV. Find the "Podcasts" folder and select inside it loaded through the media server application. 
At all hOME program Media Server is conceived by the developers as a homemade media server. But the most often HMS is used as a DLNA server. It is perfect for this purpose and has a lot useful settings, often functioning even better than such official programs as LG SmartShare PC SW and standard fashion DLNA settings through Windows Media Player. The meaning is to allow TV to play movies, music, pictures and other content right from your laptop or computer. At the same time, they must be connected to one home network, for the organization of which the router or router is usually used. After that, it remains only to configure the program, and the case is in the hat. You can download it on the official website http://www.homemediaserver.ru by clicking on the "Download" button.
Install Media Server is simpler simple: unpack the archive and run "setup.exe", where we agree with all the conditions and click the "Next" button everywhere. After successfully installing and running the HMS, the main program window will appear. When you first start, select your TV from the device list (for example, LG TV). Add Media Resources to which your TV will have access can be in the next window or in the settings later. In the Backup and Data Recovery window, click "Run" and "Close".
HMS as a DLNA server
Immediately go to the program settings. Here we have to configure our homemade media server. type DLNA. To do this, in the category "Media Resources" in the first tab of the "List of directories" using the "Add" button specify the paths to the folders on our computer, where Media files you want to see on a LG TV or other are located. After adding all folders, click "Scan". Although we will configure the autocaning of new media resources, new items are still not automatically appear, and you need to scan using this button manually.
On the Scanning tab, it is important to enable automatic directory scans when changing and starting the program so that new media files are immediately displayed on the TV.
In order for Home Media Server to start when the computer is loaded, in the category "Advance" you need to put the checkboxes "Autoloading the program when starting windows sessions"And" Installation windows services Home Media Server ... ". The HMS setting for the DLNA server is complete, click OK.
Next, select the "PC Connection" tab and click 3 times press the "Next" button. Note that your 3 step is selected by your home network (Wired or wireless, depending on the method of connecting the TV), otherwise select it.
On the 4 step you should see your PC. If it is not there, restart the server, usually helps. Next, select the device and get to the "Connected Devices" item.
Viewing Media.
After the first connection, our device will be displayed in the last LG Smartshare station - "Connected Devices". If it is not there, restart the server on the PC. For example, to view movies, you need to select the "Movies" folder, then "Catalogs of Media Resources".
Here you will see a list of folders added in the HMS settings. Go to any folder and run the movie. Sometimes the TV can write that "the file type is not supported." Do not despair, it's a glitch, try to run again and from 2-3 times everything will turn out.
Features HMS
The advantages of the home media server from SERVIIO are as follows:
- on the TV you can see a clear structure of PC folders;
- the ability to run the playback of media files to TV from the program itself on the PC. To do this, select a file from the list and click on the Green Play button, which is present if the TV is on;
- relative stability of work (after PC SW DLNA from LG is just a fairy tale);
- a large number of settings.
Disadvantages:
- some confusion for beginners;
- sometimes it does not work automatically scanning new files;
- periodically you have to restart the server so that the device appears in TV.
Despite these disadvantages, HMS is ideal as a home media server, including DLNA. The details of the Home DLNA server settings are on the following video.
Other features
The possibilities of the considered Home Media server do not end on the DLNA. HMS can provide access to Media computer resources still using UPNP (Universal Plug and Play) and HTTP protocol. It is more relevant for smartphones and tablets.
But for DLNA, this Server may still have a lot. For example, you can give access not only to computer resources, and also flow of Internet radio and television IPTV. There is also an opportunity to broadcast so-called podcasts from various online cinemas, such as HdSerials.ru, HDKinoklub.ru and hundreds of others. There are still possibilities for transcoding media format files that are not supported on TV. How do you like?
