Hi all.
I hope I picked the correct forum for this post.
I have an LG Blu-ray player with my HD television in my living room. The Blu-ray player came with some software that you could install on your computer if you want to use the Blu-ray player's wireless capability to access files on your computer and then view them over your television.
The software is Nero MediaHome 4.
It's basically been working fine. I inserted a USB wireless device into the Blu-ray player, installed the Nero software onto my computer, and then the Blu-ray is able to wirelessly access my router and I can stream pictures, video files, etc.
I've come into some glitches recently: longer wireless access times from the Blu-ray into the computer (lag before the video file finally shows up on-screen on the television and plays); also, two (2) instances of Nero MediaHome in my Startup menu when I launch Task Manager and look at the Startup tab.
I contacted Nero's tech support.....and they said that MediaHome 4 is no longer supported by them and may not be totally compatible with Windows 8 (I have Win 8, 64 bit).
Does anybody know of any similar software that I can use to stream data wirelessly from my computer to my Blu-ray? Files such as jpegs, mpegs, mkv (matroska), etc.
Thanks for any input and suggestions.
