Question:

How to Configure Your PC for Streaming Media?

Answer:

Turn on the Windows XP PC you wish to stream from and log into your account.

Ensure the PC is connected to your network.

Save the desired media files to the Windows XP shared or public folder. If subfolders exist within the shared folder, enable file sharing for them too. (See Microsoft's website for detailed steps.)

Check if any software like firewalls are active; disable or adjust permissions to permit other devices accessing the PC, if necessary. This step is only recommended if the Blu-ray player fails to detect the PC.

If using Windows XP Home and encounter issues accessing the shared folder, try logging in as a non-admin user to avoid authentication errors.
