Samsung UA40ES5600R and AllShare

[pvijay]

Hi,
I have installed the AllShare app on my Windows PC and I am able to hook it up with my new Samsung UA40ES5600R. Though both my PC and TV are able to view the computer's shared *folder*, I am unable to add music, pictures or videos to the shared folder.

When I click on the "Add files to play to the list" button in the "File Management screen mode", the explorer view opens up and I am able to pick files on my PC. The file then gets copied to the folder (say Music), but on the AllShare dashboard, the file is never listed. I have tried different file formats but each time, the app stubbornly refuses to display the file.

I tried following some workarounds suggested in other threads like giving admin access to the three files AllShare.exe, AllShareAgent.exe, AllShareDMS.exe, rebooted the system - but still no luck.

Any tips from anyone out there?

Thanks

I tried using Serviio and it worked like a charm. On the same set of folders and files, Serviio was able to successfully share the files with the TV. Some problem with AllShare I guess, any inputs would be appreciated...
