tried to a play a different format and TV beeps and turned off! so, final verdict, download Serviio (for free) and allow it to do the necessary conversions for me. Payed MP$ move fior 2 minutes then froze up. BTW…I had the same issue as someone else using the thumb drive. jpg, etc).” As if anyone in the free world knows what “etc” represents.

#VIZIO WHAT SETTINGS FOR DVR PLAYER MANUAL#

Ironically, the manual says, “Files … must end in a supported file extension (.mp3. What frustrates me the most is that Vizio doesn’t say, in the manual or anywhere else, which media file types are supported. I have used Serviio before with great success on on older Samsung TV and will probably give that a shot.

It plays the “Sample” videos that are included in Windows 7 (WMVs) but won’t play my downloaded streamed video files (also WMV). Great thread! I just bought a Vizio E-Series and out of the box it could see all my PCs in the house, but it is finicky about what it will play and what it will not.

All I had to do was install it and reconfigure my external hard drive’s folder structure, and viola, just as vaughnteegarden said, it showed up on my Vizio’s Media menu!!! No issues yet! Thanks again! After reading this great post by vaughnteegarden (thank you very much, by the way), I had another look into the routers capabilities, and I found that it had a DLNA Media Server built in.

The idea was to keep all my music and major family photo and movie files on an external hard drive connected to one of the USB ports. That said, I had to buy a good router to match, so I bought an ASUS Router (RT-N65R) for less than $150 which has 2 USB ports built in. I’m frugal as well and refuse to paid for cable/satellite and get all my info/entertainment online, therefore I pay a lot per month for 100 Mbps internet access. I was a bit discouraged in much the same way vaughnteegarden was. I got it mounted on the wall, got the audio setup, and started going through the manual in detail and was shocked to find how little it covered. Greetings, what a great thread! We all seem to be after very similar solutions! This was perfect timing as I just received my 55″ Vizio Smart TV (in the mail) the other day.

I hope this post helps others searching for a way to play video files from their PC on their Vizio TV. It’s worth the money for the speed, range, and extra features. I have the excellent Asus RT-N66U, and I can’t recommend it enough.

I had read a recommendation of this server as being one that “just works”, and so I downloaded and ran it.įrom then on, it “just worked”. I looked up the wikipedia entry for DLNA media servers, and noticed the PS3 Media Server was listed. What the manual doesn’t tell you, and what I now know, is that your TV is capable of displaying media streamed from a DLNA-compliant media server. I stumbled across a post here suggesting that if a DLNA media server was present, it would show under the “Media” menu (which was only mentioned in the manual with regards to playing music off a usb drive).

My experiments with a couple of different media servers went nowhere. I read discussions of potentially making a widget for Plex, a popular media server, but no one had written one yet. The only mention of playing external media involves plugging in a usb drive, and that is limited to photos and music.Īfter several searches of the internet, I was becoming convinced it couldn’t be done. If you were to thumb through the manual of your new Vizio Smart TV, you might come to the conclusion that you cannot play video files stored on your computer’s hard drive on your TV.
