Question:

How can I stream media on my Samsung TV?

Answer:

You can stream media on your Samsung TV using its DLNA/AllShare feature, which allows you to connect and share content with various DLNA certified devices. To do this:

Ensure all devices (e.g., computer, mobile device, or TV) are connected to the same network.

On your Samsung TV, navigate to the 'Home' menu and select 'Photos', 'Videos', or 'Music'.

Select the option for 'DLNA/AllShare', which will search for compatible devices on your network.

Once your device appears on the list, select it to browse and play the desired media content.

Note: While there are numerous DLNA certified programs available, Samsung only officially supports and provides guaranteed functionality with their Samsung Link software. Additionally, Samsung does not currently support streaming from Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices, although third-party software might offer workarounds.
