Open media. How to open MMS on your phone: tips on settings. Display on PC

I have already published more than one article on the topic of setting up DLNA. We launched a DLNA server different ways, on different devices, and for different TVs. In this instruction, I will show you how to enable a DLNA server in Windows 10. Let it be a computer or a laptop, it doesn’t matter. The main thing is that Windows 10 is installed on it. There are many different programs that you can use to run a media server on your computer. But in this instruction we will not use any third-party programs. We will only use standard means Windows 10. By the way, this option is available in both Windows 8 and Windows 7. There are few differences there.

And so, first, let’s figure out what DLNA is, why run this server on a computer, laptop, and what to do with it. Everything is very simple. Using DLNA technology you can transfer media content (video, photo, music) between devices in local network. Most often, this technology is used for viewing on Smart TV TV videos, or photos that are on the computer. I wrote in more detail about this technology in the article: . If interested, you can read it.

How it all works: The Smart TV must be connected to our router. By Wi-Fi networks, or by cable. It doesn't matter. The computer on which we want to run the media server and from which we want to play video, photos, or music on the TV must be connected to the same router. The main thing that devices were on the same local network (were connected through one router). This does not mean that there should be only one computer and one TV, there can be several of them. Moreover, there may be other devices on the network that support DLNA. For example: gaming consoles, TV set-top boxes, satellite receivers, etc.

Before proceeding with setup, make sure that your computer and TV are connected to your Wi-Fi network, or using a network cable to your router. Check if the Internet works on the TV. If you don't know whether your TV supports DLNA, you can check the specifications for this information. I will say this, if the TV has a Smart TV, then everything will work.

And also in Microsoft browser Edge in Windows 10 has the ability to display videos, photos and music directly from the browser on TV. I wrote in the article how to do this.

I think we have figured out all the nuances, now we can start setting up.

Displaying video from Windows 10 to TV: a quick and easy way

A video, film, almost any video can be displayed from a computer to a TV in a few clicks of the mouse. Turn on the TV. Make sure it is connected to the internet (to your router).

On the computer, open the folder with the video, and right-click on the file that we want to play on the TV (Smart TV). Next, move the cursor to the “Transfer to device” item. Our TV should appear there. If it says “Searching for devices...”, then you need to wait a little. Leave open menu, or try again in a couple of seconds. As you can see in the screenshot below, Windows 10 found two TVs on me: LG and Philips.

Choose a TV. The player control window will immediately appear. In it, you can control video playback on the TV, add other files to the playlist, see information on the TV, etc.

The TV will immediately start playing the currently running movie.

We have just started watching video from a computer to a TV using DLNA technology. As you can see, everything works. And all this wirelessly, over the air. It's over if you have both devices connected via Wi-Fi.

Starting a DLNA server on Windows 10 using standard means

Above we looked at a method where you can send files to a TV from a computer. But there is still a great opportunity when we can view all files from the TV (to which access is open), which are stored on our computer. I think this is exactly what you need.

To start a DLNA server you can use third party programs, for example, "Home media server (UPnP, DLNA, HTTP)". I wrote about setting up using this program in an article. This program is suitable for all TVs. But each manufacturer, as a rule, has its own program. LG, for example, has Smart Share. The setup I wrote about.

Well, on the other hand, why do we need third-party programs if everything in Windows 10 can be configured using built-in tools.

1 First of all, we need to open the “Media Streaming Options”. This item is located in the control panel. You can simply start typing its name in the search and launch it.

2 In the new window, click on the “Enable media streaming” button. Thus, we enable the DLNA server in Windows 10.

3 Next, enter the name of your DLNA server. Then, in the device list, you can allow or deny access to the media server for a specific device on your network. If you are connected to your home network, then you can leave all devices.

If your TV is not on the list, then wait a little. Or close and reopen your media streaming settings.

Next to each device there will be a "Configure..." button. If necessary, you can set individual settings for each device.

4 You can now access the running server on your TV. It looks different on different TVs. On Philips TVs (with Android TV), for example, you need to launch the Media application. Or select this source from the available signal sources.

As you can see in the screenshot above, access will immediately be open to three standard folders: "Videos", "Images", "Music". You can view all the files that are in these folders on your TV.

These three folders are located at system disk. Agree, it’s not very convenient to copy the necessary films and other files there all the time in order to watch them from the TV. Therefore, you can simply share other folders.

How to add a folder for a DLNA server

Launch Windows Media Player.

If you want to add a folder with videos, for example, then click on the corresponding item on the left and select “Manage video library”.

In the new window, click on the "Add" button. Select the folder to which you want to open access via DLNA, and click on the "Add folder" button.

That's it, the required folder will appear in the list and will be displayed on the TV. For example, I opened access to the “Video” folder in which I store films.

In this way you can add any folders or remove them from the list.

1 If you need to open your media streaming settings, you can do so from Windows Media Player. Just click on the "Stream" menu item and select " Extra options streaming..."

2 If your computer goes into sleep mode while playing files via DLNA and playback is interrupted, simply turn on the "High Performance" power plan.

Several articles

There may be items in the Windows Player library that do not have or contain false media, such as song titles, track numbers, artist names, album names, or genres. It is possible that false information was added when extracting records from a CD or due to the use of another CD mining program.

Regardless of the reason, the player uses media to organize library items, so it's important that all items have accurate and complete multimedia data.

Automatic addition of multimedia data

In many cases, the player can automatically download media and add it to files. For example, when you rip a CD, the player can search an online database and download media about the recordings contained on the CD to your computer.

The player also periodically checks the library for non-media items. If records are found in the online database that match library items, the player will automatically download multimedia data and will add them to the library files.

Add or change media manually

Can add or change multimedia data manually. If there are items in the player library that have no media or are false, there are several methods that allow you to manually fix the media.

Adding media from an online database

An easy way to add media data from a file that is already in the player's library is to search the online database for information. This method works best when the information is in the database, but the Player cannot automatically find it for a file in the Player library.

  1. Switch to library
  2. In the Player Library, right-click and select Find album details. The player will connect to the Internet and display a dialog box Finding Album Information.
  3. To select multiple adjacent elements, click the first element and hold down the Shift key while clicking the last element. To select nonadjacent elements, Ctrl-click each one.
  4. In the dialog box Finding Album Information match the item or items to the correct album in the list or refine your search.

The player closes the window and adds the information to the player library. After some time (depending on how many changes have been made and whether the player is performing other operations), the information will be added to the file.

To have the player update the file immediately, click Arrange and select a team Apply changes to media.

Add media using the Edit command

If you're comfortable entering information manually, you can skip the online database and edit the information directly in the Player Library using the Edit command.

  1. Open Windows Player.
  2. If the player is already open and in playback mode, click the Switch to Library button in the top right corner of the player.
  3. In the Player Library, right-click the item name, artist name, or other media attribute and select Edit.

    If the attribute is not visible in the player library, you may need to scroll using horizontal stripe Scroll the bottom of the Player Library window (if available), left or right, or configure the Player Library, displaying the attribute column is hidden by default.

    To make the same attribute change on multiple elements, you can save time by selecting a group of elements before right-clicking the appropriate attribute. To select multiple adjacent items, hold down the Shift key while selecting. To select multiple non-adjacent elements, hold down the Ctrl key while selecting.

  4. Type the information you want to add or correct, and press Enter.
  5. The information will be added to the player library. After some time (depending on how many changes have been made and whether the player is performing other operations), the information is added to the file.
  6. If necessary, repeat steps 1 and 2 to correct other attributes.

Notes:

  • Some attributes, such as duration, size, and flow rate, cannot be changed.
  • Some attributes, such as artist and genre, can have multiple elements separated by semicolons.

Add media using drag and drop elements

If you have elements in your player library that contain the correct media, and you want to copy those attributes to another element that contains false information, you can quickly do this by dragging the erroneous element onto the correct one.

  1. Open Windows Player.
  2. If the player is already open and in playback mode, click Switch to library in the top right corner of the player.
  3. In the Player Library, click a view in the navigation pane, like Executor, Album or Genre.
  4. In the details pane, drag the item containing false media onto the item containing correct media.

    For example, drag "Unknown Album" onto the "Giant Steps" album. All elements of the "Unknown Album" will become part of the "Giant Steps" album.

  5. If a confirmation window appears, click Yes.

Protecting multimedia data from overwriting

Once media has been added to files, it is advisable to ensure that they are then were not overwritten by the player.

  1. Open Windows Player.
  2. If the player is already open and in playback mode, click Switch to library in the top right corner of the player.
  3. In the Player Library, click Arrange, select Options and click tab Library.
  4. In area Automatic update media file information make sure the checkbox is checked Add only missing information.
  5. This will prevent the player from accidentally changing the correct media that has been added to false information that may be contained in the online database.

Note: If the command is used Find album details To manually load media from an online database, the media data will be overwritten, regardless of the options selected.

One of the characteristics that distinguishes some modern televisions from others is their degree of intelligence. In a figurative sense, of course. We are talking about the technological advantages of the so-called Smart TV. Conventional digital TVs, as a rule, can play the role of the TV itself, working in tandem with a receiver, play media content using the built-in player (alas, often with a limited list of readable formats), and also serve as a monitor for a computer, game or TV set-top box . Whereas Smart TV, they are also smart TVs, are able to participate to a greater extent in the chain of content reproduction as independent participants.

1. About media streaming and DLNA technology

Smart TVs are actually the same computers, because they have their own hardware capabilities, have their own software, can connect to wired and wireless networks. And the last thing is almost complete independence from source devices. The advantages of direct TV access to the Internet are obvious, but there are many of them when local access to the computer. Streaming media from a computer to TV is the TV's direct access to files on the computer. Streaming eliminates the fuss with flash drives and external hard drives. Files are transferred from the computer to the TV over the network. Without the participation of a computer, as long as it is simply turned on, without the participation of a smartphone, without the participation of set-top boxes and other source devices, all permitted material can be played using a TV - video, photos, music, any media files that such a TV can play.

DLNA technology allows devices on the same network to exchange media content. Many people support her modern devices, capable of connecting to the network - computers, tablets, smartphones, TV and game consoles, and, of course, Smart TV. For example, smart TVs from LG that support DLNA technology have a proprietary Smart Share application - a shell of this technology with a user interface. Applications from other Smart TV brands are called differently and, accordingly, have a different interface. In particular, the smart ones Samsung TVs The shell for DLNA technology is the standard AllShare application. And Sony TVs is a Vaio Media Server application.

How to set up streaming media from a Windows computer - PC or laptop - to TV? We will examine this issue in detail below.

2. What do you need to set up streaming from a computer to TV?

To set up streaming from a computer to a TV, as mentioned, it is necessary that the latter supports the network. By the way, to stream media files, the Smart TV “status” for the TV is not required. The TV may not have super-functionality; it simply must support the network and allow the selection of a signal source with at least primitive standard functionality. Such a TV must have a built-in Wi-Fi module or an Ethernet network port. As a rule, modern Smart TVs provide both options – wired and wireless. network connection.

Both devices - the TV and the PC or laptop - must be connected to a single local network. When connected to a router (router), any devices - computers, smartphones, tablets, set-top boxes, smart TVs - are automatically combined into one small network. Of course, if you don’t have a router, you can get by by directly connecting the TV to your computer over the network. What you need to do this is to connect network cable to the Ethernet ports of devices. But in this case, if the computer has only one network port (one LAN card with one Ethernet port), you will have to constantly reconnect the cable from the TV and the cable from the Internet provider. It is not comfortable. A router must be in the house if there is a question of unlocking the potential of Smart TV. well and Wi-Fi router– a simply necessary thing if smartphones or tablets are used in the house.

The method of connecting the TV to the network - wired or wireless, if it provides both options, is not important.

The next condition for streaming is configured access using DLNA technology to the media library folders on the computer. On Windows, this can be done in several ways.

3. Setting up network access to computer files in Windows Media Player

A way to configure access to computer files in Windows without the need to install third-party software is to use the standard Windows Media Player.

On the Windows Media Player toolbar, click the “Stream” option and check the box next to:

  • “Enable media streaming...”

After switching on this parameter a system window will open with streaming parameters, where you can specify the name of the media library and flexibly configure the availability of media content for specific devices networks: for some, leave the preset resolution, and for others, remove it.

The configured permissions will allow other devices to access files over the network only in the user profile folders. These are the “Video”, “Music”, “Pictures” folders, which are displayed in Windows Explorer along with disk partitions, drives and removable devices of the computer. If this is more than enough, you can start testing file playback on your TV using local applications that work with DLNA technology.

But storing files in user profile folders on the system drive is not a good idea both from the point of view of the availability of free space on drive C, and from the point of view of the safety of these files in case of a critical failure Windows operation. As a rule, media libraries of impressive size are stored on non-system partitions of the computer disk. Folders of such media libraries must be added in a separate step to the Windows Media Player library,

To make the contents of other computer folders available for streaming to the TV in the Windows Media Player window, click the “Arrange” option, select “Manage Libraries”, and in it – one of the content types: “Music Library” for audio files, “Video” for video files , “Gallery” for photos and pictures.

A window will open with a list of existing libraries, and to add the desired folder to this list, click the “Add” button on the side. Add this folder in the Explorer window that opens, then click “Ok” in the list window.

Alternative way adding folders with media content to the system list of folders with public access for home network devices - adding to the library using the context menu command in Windows Explorer. At any time, any folder on your computer where videos, music or photos are stored can be accessed for playback from network devices. To do this, you need to open this folder in Explorer, call up the context menu and select the “Add to Library” command. The folder will be added to the appropriate library and its contents will be available for streaming.

The list of folders with video and audio files open for streaming will also change when changes are made to it using the standard Windows 10 Movies and TV and Groove Music applications. In the settings section of both applications, you can add and remove folders to local collections of video and audio files. Local application collections work in conjunction with system libraries.

4. Setting up network access to computer files using the LG Smart Share program

Some Smart TV brands have their own software for desktop operating systems, through which you can configure access to your computer's media files. These programs can be downloaded from the TV manufacturers' website or on the Internet. For example, to access smart TVs Samsung to computer content, the South Korean corporation has created Samsung program Allshare. And for LG TVs, the LG Smart Share Windows program for PC is available for free download on the company’s website. Let's take a closer look at it. On the LG website, select the version for Windows and download.

Installation of LG Smart Share is standard. After launching the program, you need to select any of the proposed content settings options - Movie, Photo, Music.

In the window that appears, access must be enabled. If it is disabled, set the switch to the “On” position.

Switch to the “My” tab shared files" Here you can allow access to files in the specified folders. Using a button in the form of a folder with a plus sign, you need to add any other folders with media content to the existing folders of the user profile. After adding, click the “Apply” button at the bottom, then “OK”.

All - now the content of all folders displayed in the “My Shared Files” tab of the program will be available for network devices, in particular for TV.

In the program settings tab just below - “My device settings” - you can change the computer name. Using this name, the computer will be identified on the network for other devices.

The LG Smart Share utility process will automatically start along with the Windows system, providing further access to your computer's media files.

To make sure that everything works as it should, launch the SmartShare application on the TV.

Go to the “Devices” section and select our media server.

Open any of shared folders, which contains media files.

Let's try to play the file.

5. Setting up network access to computer files using the Home Media Server program

Another way to provide TVs, set-top boxes, mobile and other devices that support the network and DLNA technology with access to your computer’s media content is the Windows program “Home Media Server (UPnP, DLNA, HTTP)”. The program works with many popular TVs: LG, Samsung, Toshiba, Sony, Philips. Using this program, a DLNA server is launched on the computer, to which all network devices can connect. By default, the program allows you to manage server files from the TV - essentially, computer files.

The advantage of using Home Media Server over all of the streaming options listed above is that it has more features and is more customizable. The program provides various transcoders for video and audio files, which allows you to convert media content, if it initially exists on the computer in a format not supported by the TV, into a format that is supported by it. You can additionally configure the broadcast of individual Internet channels on your TV (radio and digital television).

“Home Media Server” can be downloaded absolutely free on the creators’ website.

Download the program, install it and run it. Upon startup, the initial settings window will immediately appear. You can leave everything as default and refuse to scan media files. Let's move on to the program settings in a separate order.

In the program window, click the “Settings” button on the toolbar at the top of the window.

In the settings window that opens, we will see the category tabs on the right. In the first tab “Media Resources”, using the “Add” button, we can add any folders with media content to the program list to give them access for streaming. General access can be opened immediately to all partitions of the computer disk (C, D, E, etc.), to all network drives, to all connected removable media. To do this, you need to check the boxes next to the required options at the bottom of the window - accordingly, “ Local disks», « Network drives" and "Removable devices".

The Media Resources settings tab provides many options for the added folders. For example, by clicking the “Change” button, we will be able to exclude hiding files and directories, remove certain types of files, set a different folder name - and all this within the framework of the DLNA server, without changes on the computer.

At the bottom of the “Media Resources” tab there are separate sections with an abundance of different settings. In the “Scanning” section, you can pay attention to the option “Always use file name as the name of the media resource.” Without checking this option, the names of media files in Russian will be converted to transliterated Latin letters or unreadable crocodile.

In the “Devices” settings tab we will see a list of all detected network devices that will have access to DLNA server files. Any of the devices on the list can be disabled by removing the green activity button.

In the “Server” settings tab, instead of the default DLNA server name, we can set our own name, for example, more convenient for perception. Next to the server name field we will see its port - 45397. It may happen that the antivirus or firewall running on the computer will block the operation of the DLNA server. In case of such blocking, the DLNA server port must be granted permission to work in the antivirus or firewall settings.

Also in the “Server” tab, you need to pay attention to the default option that prevents the computer from going into sleep mode while the DLNA server is running. If it becomes necessary to put your PC or laptop into sleep mode, the DLNA server will need to be stopped in the future. If, on the contrary, the checkbox for the option “Prevent the computer from going into sleep mode while the server is running” is not checked for some reason, it is better to check it. Otherwise, watching a movie on TV will be unceremoniously interrupted as soon as the laptop goes to sleep to save battery power.

The Home Media Server program has a very rich selection of settings, and its potential can be revealed gradually, testing certain features as you become familiar with them. For now, let's limit ourselves to the settings already made and save them. Click “Ok” below and agree to scan media files in the configured folders.

After the program completes the scanning process, we can launch the DLNA server. To do this, click the “Launch” button on the toolbar at the top of the main program window.

Home Media Server runs in the background and can be controlled from the system tray. By calling the context menu on the program button in the system tray, the DLNA server can be stopped, started, or restarted.

Automate this process so that the DLNA server starts automatically with starting Windows, you can in the program settings. The last settings tab “Advanced” provides in the “Startup” column options for autoloading the program itself when Windows starts, autostarting the DLNA server when the program starts, as well as installing its background service in the Windows system.

Once the DLNA server is running, all available media content on the computer can be played on the TV through a local DLNA application. In the TV app, the DLNA server will appear as a connected playback device. Inside it, folders with computer media content configured in the Home Media Server program will be available.

You can launch available media content for playback not only in the TV application. You can also assign the Home Media Server program to start playing media files on your TV. To do this, in the main window of the program, select the appropriate content - click on the “Movies”, “Music” or “Photo” button on the toolbar at the top. The right side of the program window will display folder files that were previously accessed for broadcasting to the TV. Select the desired video, audio file or picture from the list, call the context menu on this file and select “Play to” among the commands. In the list of devices that appears, select the TV. The selected movie, track or photo will unfold on the TV screen.

6. "Bring to device" function Windows 8.1 and 10

The function of starting playback of media files on a computer with displaying the image on a TV is also provided as part of the standard functionality in Windows versions 8.1 and 10. If the Windows system allows playback of computer media files by network devices in Windows Media Player, as discussed above, a movie, audio track or photo can be launched on the computer, and viewing or listening can be continued on the TV. This is a handy thing when you don’t particularly want to fiddle with the TV remote control and look for, for example, the desired movie among a bunch of other media files, killing your nerves with monotonous flipping through file after file.

To launch a media file on your computer, you need to open the context menu on it in Windows Explorer and select the “Bring to device” command. This is the command for Windows systems 10. In Windows 8.1, this context menu command is called “Play To”.

After this, we will see a list of network devices available for playback. Choose a TV. The launched file will unfold on the TV screen, and on the computer screen we will see a small Windows Media player window with a playlist where you can additionally add some files.

7. Bring to Device feature in Windows 10 Movies & TV app

Available for media files in context menu conductor Windows function“Bring to device” is also implemented in Windows application 10 "Cinema and TV". It works on the principle of launching a video file in an application on a computer and continuing to watch it on a network device, in particular, on a TV screen. Open the “Movies and TV” application, launch the video and in viewing mode, click the first button at the bottom – the button to connect to available playback devices. A list of all network devices defined for outputting the video file will appear in a small window. Choose a TV.

In the future, you can continue watching the movie again on your computer, in the “Movies and TV” application. This is a great idea for a home filled with digital technology that is connected into one network. For example, having started watching a movie on the TV screen in the living room, you can continue watching it on the kitchen TV screen. And then you can move back to the living room with the film. And to do this, you just need to pause for a couple of simple actions on the computer.

8. Conclusion

As you can see, the choice of ways to configure the computer part of the chain of interaction between the computer and the TV over the network is great. Despite the fact that the article turned out to be voluminous, in fact, not all programs on the software market for implementing multimedia streaming from a computer to a TV are considered. Setting up your TV is easier.

As mentioned above, your computer's media files can be accessed through local smart TV apps. And these are the above-mentioned Smart Share for LG TVs, AllShare for Samsung, Vaio Media Server for Sony and others. IN regular TVs, supporting a network where the firmware does not provide separate applications, access to computer files can be configured by selecting a media server as a signal source. In many cases, the source button on the TV remote is called “Source”.

Have a great day!

With the development of the era, mms had to lose their former popularity. But this did not happen for various reasons: firstly, not all people have access to the Internet, and secondly, sending MMS messages is much faster than in some messenger.

Advantages of MMS

MMS on Android

WITH operating system Android in most cases support data transfer when help MMS. You just need to configure it. You can change configurations on Android using automatic settings, you can immediately contact your mobile operator, configure it manually, or order settings on the operator’s website.

Automatic MMS setup

This method is very convenient because the technology will do everything itself instead of the user. The likelihood of making a mistake or damaging your mobile device is close to zero. The only negative: you can use automatic configuration only once (when you first register on the network mobile operator). How to set up MMS automatically:

  1. Install a SIM card.
  2. Launch mobile device and enter your PIN if required.
  3. Receive settings in the form of SMS messages from your mobile operator.
  4. Run the configuration and wait for the installation to complete.
  5. You can now read sent messages.

If you are unable to achieve success, then the problem is most likely in the user’s actions or in the settings of the phone itself. If you fix the problem It’s impossible to do on your own, you should contact service center mobile operator.

Those who worked with Ahead Nero- an application for recording multimedia content, we were faced with the opportunity to save the project, which is called halfway. This remarkable property is expressed in saving work with data in nrg file.

I will explain how to open such a file as we proceed. First, I’ll tell you what kind of file it is, then I’ll tell you what it’s used for.

1. What is nrg format. Purpose

Program Nero can work with disk images. The image is exact copy storage medium, in this case a CD. If such a disc is inserted into the drive, the application can create it imagenrg and save it in an accessible location.

When you need to restore data in reverse order - burn it to a CD, you can use Nero and other tools for working with images. The archive .nrg created in advance is, as it were, transferred to CD.

2. How to write an nrg file. How to open the created image

Let's say you have created a copy of the data in the specified format. And now this information needed to be transferred to a CD. Therefore, let’s look at how to open such a file and how to recognize it in AheadNero.

3. Opening

  • insert your CD without data into the drive tray. If AutoPlay works, it may open the My Computer program. In this case, close or minimize its window to the taskbar.
  • Open the Nero application executable file. Then the points "file" - "open". In the file selection window that appears, set a filter by type nrg, and in the file name field enter the desired option. Or scroll vertically if there are few files.
  • The second way is to click on the corresponding icon on the toolbar. The result is similar.
