latest question in my quest for media perfection
im happily listening to 6 music and spotify on my squeezebox now, so turning to dvd now.
we've got a dvd/freeview recorder. we dont use the freeview now as the HD telly has it inbuilt, so its just a dvd player really. i thought id try and play a dvd through my laptop, and if it works, mebbes get rid of the dvd recorder.
i got it playing using the HDMI cable. so happy days. but i realised i had to have the laptop playing the dvd next to it, as its a shortish cable. so big screen and little screen showing the same thing next to each other. not really ideal :-/ when i shut the lid, obviously the tv picture goes off as well.
so i thought id try dlna. i had stuff connected a week or so ago using my android phones media connector, but i want to keep my phone out of it really, in case my wife wants to watch stuff when im not there.
ive googled it and it seems possible, but i cant find proper instructions of how to get it set up. ive got my sony bravia tv to recognise my wifes laptop, but it wont show the dvd.
the laptop has got windows media centre on it which i hoped would maybe help too, but just cant suss it right now.
anyone got any advice for me please?
