Hi Rick/Patric, Thankyou for your responses. I probably need some more assistance on these. I have minidlna installed already but haven't been able to figure out how to use it. I have also been told that XBMC to XBMC streaming is not a godd idea, how valid is that? Also, like Miracast under Windows, doesn't Linux have to be able to see the device before any of the mentioned package can stream to it? regards, Steve On 09/09/2014 06:43 AM, Stephen Morris wrote:Hi, I was given a Smart Media Player for fathers day, which I have connected to my TV via HDMI. When I power it on and it establishes its wireless connection to my router, Windows 8 automatically detects it and adds it as a device it can stream to. Under Fedora 20 none of the network interfaces available to Dolphin can see the device. What do I need to do to get the same automatic setup under Fedora as I do under Windows, or if Fedora has detected the wireless device, how do I find out? Also, under Fedora how do I set up Miracast (which is native to Windows 8) or Airplay streaming to the device once Fedora can actually see and use it?
I've not really used either one of those--I was just suggesting things that I've seen that address those protocols. Patrick probably can speak to it far better than I. I have MediaTomb running on a box at home, but that's a DLNA media server app and several of my devices don't like it much. Or I don't understand it very well and haven't invested the time into sorting it out. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Duct Tape + Magic Marker = Label Maker! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
