How do you play a BluRay movie/file from your Win7 PC 64 through the Ethernet connection to the BluRay player connected to your TV?
A few Blu-ray players support UPnP so they can connect to any UPnP client. Windows 7 comes with Windows Media Player 12 which has this support but it doesn't support mkv files or streaming of discs. PS3 Media Server and TVersity can handle streaming of mkv files, by transcoding them to a format the PS3 or media player can understand. PS3 Media Server also works with non PS3 devices. What kind of Blu-ray player do you have?
I have the BDPN460 from Sony.I want to stream a .m4v, H264, .mp4 or other format BD/HD rip directly to the BluRay and TV the pc Win 7 64 is connected to the BluRay Player Ethernet connection by a shared router settings on BluRay Sony BDP n460 say 192.168.0.3 (or 4) and BluRay connects to internet content just fine (fear.net, etc at 192.168.0.2) TV is Emerson HDTV hooked to BluRay with HDMI when I click on a movie file (.m4v) Windows Media Player starts playing the file and the "streaming" options don't seem to work. The Internet Connection Sharing -ICS- is on but is not working and I have only one connection in my "network" ... nothing for the BluRay appears, so I don't know what to "bridge" VLC player has been tried as well as WildMediaServer with no luck. Maybe I am trying the wrong approach. Thanks for your help...
