Need assistance in sending films over your Wi-Fi connection.
I'm working on passing them to various devices. Would you like me to clarify or adjust anything?
I've sent the PC drive over the network, and it appears on my TV and laptop but not in the shared folder. It might be an issue with the sharing setup—let's begin the process again from the first step.
I use Plex with the server app installed on a network computer. In my setup, I had an older gaming console. I install the Plex app on streaming devices such as Roku and Amazon Fire Sticks. You're all set to go. Plex is free, but the basic version has some restrictions. Upgrading to a paid plan unlocks hardware transcoding and Live OTA TV recording if needed. The free tier should still support easy movie sharing. For viewing on other devices, just open a web browser.
The main device I need to stream is my TV. I’m not sure if Plex works on it. I’ve shared the PC drive over the network and can see it on both my TV and laptop, but when I try to access it, nothing appears. It might be an issue with the setup—please try the sharing process again from the beginning.
First, see if your TV supports the format you're trying to share. If not, that could explain why you're missing the data. A good starting point is using a USB drive with a movie or two and testing it on your TV—this helps confirm compatibility. Some TVs only allow streaming via DLNA, meaning you'd need a separate server to share the content instead of just copying a folder. I'll check my TV to see if regular folder sharing works. [edited] It seems streaming directly isn't possible without DLNA, so it might depend on your TV model.
