So you don't want to leave your Desktop or Laptop or even couch to reach out to the Music Player/Home theater remote control ?
But want Instant Music playback ? Without any hassles.
Well if you don't already know this, the simple settings given in the article will make life a bit easy.
" Right Click a Music file and PLAY "
" Right Click a Music file and PLAY "
..yeah straight from your PC to Home Theater !
For this tutorial we take a Windows 7 Ultimate Computer and a Sony Blu-ray Home Theater.
Note: For such playback to work, the Renderer device has to have a network connectivity port like LAN or WLAN (Inbuilt WLAN or External). Also it should be DLNA/UPnP/Streaming compatible.
Faster and Reliable method of connection would certainly be using physical network/Ethernet cable. Connect the Renderer device to available LAN port on the WiFi router. Bring out another connection from the Router/Switch to your PC.
If your renderer device has WLAN support then no hassles of cables. This will obviously be useful if the playback device is not in the vicinity of the PC or router.
Check these Settings on PC
1. Go to Start >> Control Panel >> Network & Sharing Center
2. Click on Change advanced sharing settings
