Is the HP MediaSmart TV compatible with the HP MediaSmart Server? If so, how ?

‎01-05-2010 06:02 AM

I have a HP MediaSmart TV which works fine connected to one of our PCs via WMP 11.  However, I want to move our media files off a PC and onto a home server.  I've downloaded the trial version of MS Home Server and got it up and running.  The TV can "see it" but gives me a "Not Authorized to Browse Server" error when I try to connect to the server.  Shouldn't the TV be able to connect to any UPnP Media Server?  Are there instructions / tutorial out there that explains how to do this?

There are instructions for using the HP MediaSmart Server, for example http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01764617&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3969717

These may or may not apply for you based on your usage. You can try searching on the phrase "media sharing" for example from the MS site, as well as the MediaSmart Server site.
