Connecting to LG Blu-ray Network DVD Player

I recently purchased an LG blu-ray disc player, model BD670, and it comes with a disc with a program called "Nero-home media" for streaming movies/music/photos off my computer and onto my TV. The only problem is that the program is WINDOWS only (according the the unhelpful pass-the-buck-to-Mac tech support guy). Is there a download I can put on my laptop that will allow it to connect to my DVD Network player? The built-in installation guide says I can use CIFS instead of Nero, but honestly I don't know what the heck that is or how to configure my computer to connect to the player using CIFS.

Macbook, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

Like Geraldoh, I have the LG BD670. So I installed TVMobili on my OSX 10.8 iMac and shut off the firewall for testing. Unfortunately, nothing shows up on the BD670 server lists for either music or photos (both of which TVMobili reports as successfully shared). Both nodes are on same subnet and I am able to telnet from my macbook to the iMac DLNA port 30888. So not sure what to do next. Any ideas?

What is wrong with Lion? I was accessing my shared folder; after updating the OS, the LG started throwing "network access error"?

Any solution yet?

Our Mac guru in the office says this user is not probably an admin. He must have limited account. Can you login as admin if this is the case?

The Accounts preference in Snow Leopard and earlier has been renamed to Users & Groups in Lion.

I recently installed Twonky Media Server. Otherthan the hassle of turning it off before shutting down the computer, I works with LG, iPad and iPhone!

Have you found a solution for Lion file sharing with LG Blu Ray player? I am having the same issue.

I just installed Playback and it works great with my LG BD690 Bluray player. I tried 6 other programs with no luck until this one. Thanks.

Try TVMOBiLi for Mac (DLNA Server) - I'm running that on my early 2008 MacBook Pro (10.7). Works fine playing video files with my LG BD670. I also have a longer post about this (above).

I just installed TVMOBiLi and my Sony BluRay player now sees my MacBook and I can access my music, videos, etc.
