    Hiya mate,

     

    I use PS3 Media Server with my parents Samsung Smart TV and it works perfectly for streaming video with audio through the TV completely wirelessly! Don't be fooled because it's called PS3 Media Server, it also allows me to stream through the XBOX 360 although there are less file formats that work through XBOX.

    Enjoy

    thank you for such great detail!  My question about using Plex - I just downloaded it on my Macbook air, and also on my Samsung TV.  I'm already able to play videos in a folder...  Is there a way to play something that I have on an external drive from my macbook air, stream it to my samsung, thru the plex?

     

    thanks so much!!

    Okay I have been looking for hours to get this work!

    I have a new samsung smarttv 62inch and an older macbook pro 2009.

     

    I wanted to achieve screensharing via wifi, but this seems until today impossible without buying some products.

    What I did get to work and solves my purpose "watch movies with SUBTITLES" is play video, photos and audio on my TV only, so no actual screensharing.

     

    For this to work:

    I downloaded Vuze which works great (tip: while installing choose custom installation, because it wants to install a lot of unnecessary crap).

    When I open Vuze I can drop a movie on my samsung TV list. I go to my TV and simply select my macbook as a source which shows up as soon as I open Vuze.


    All good, I can now watch my movie but without subtitles !

     

    First I though that the only way was to hardcode them into my movie. I have an .mp4 and .srt file.

    And while this of course will work, hardcoding subtitles is a long process because every frame has to be recreated including the subtitle.


    But I found that hardcoding was NOT necessary, you just need the subtitles to be in the same package as the video (and not have two seperate files as I did).

    This is very easily done with a program for OSX called: MKVToolNix.

    In more or less 1 minute you can create an MKV file that includes your mp4 (video and audio) and the .srt (subtitle) file. It is extremely easy, just select the correct input files (tip: test if the subtitles are in sync with VLC player first) and then press "Start Muxing".


    Now you have a single .mkv file that you can add to Vuze and plays the movie including subtitles on your TV!

    Hope it helps someone!

     

    Cheers

    Thanks Nick. Dead easy! Worked 1st time. Just had to let Vuze install a transcode. No problem.

    Excellent, Serviio works a treat using my new Macbook to a Samsung smart TV in the lounge. Saves me biting another Apple TV!

    Many thanks for posting this solution.

    Hi littlescargs99,

     

    Thanks so much for your post.  I installed Serviio on my 2008 Macbook (which doesn't have an HDMI port).  It took a few minutes to configure Serviio, but following your excellent instructions was easy.  Now, all I have to do is boot up the Macbook, turn on my Samsung TV and press the "Content" button on the remote.  Then, I simply navigate to the folder with my video files and select the one I want to watch.  The play, pause, stop buttons on the remote control playback.

     

    In my situation, an HDMI cable hookup would work well, but since I can't do that, Serviio is an excellent solution.

     

    Thanks again for taking the time to provide such complete instructions.

     

    John
