Streaming Media from your PC to your HP
Smart Wi-Fi Display
Your HP Smart Wi-Fi Display can play the media files (photos, music, and video)
stored on your PC or network attached storage device. The HP Smart Wi-Fi Display
uses the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) A/V streaming protocol to automatically
find your PCs and servers, and will coordinate the streaming process between your
PC/server and the HP Smart Wi-Fi Display.
Media streaming on your home network requires four conditions:
• Your must have a PC or network attached storage device that provides a
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) A/V media server. For example, a Windows PC
running Windows Media Player 11, or an HP MediaSmart Server will provide
this media server functionality.
• Only media files are available for media streaming. The types of files that are
considered "media" are: photographs, music (audio), and video. Non-media
files, such as Microsoft Word documents, are not available for streaming.
• The media files stored on the PC or server must be of a type supported by the HP
Smart Wi-Fi Display.
Note: For the types of media files that are supported by the HP Smart Wi-Fi
Display, see “Specifications” on page 42
• The UPnP A/V streaming method supports streaming of unprotected media files.
Some files may be protected by a Digital Rights Management system, which
may prevent the streaming of those files. Media files purchased and
downloaded from an online Internet store are most likely protected.
Enabling Windows Media Player 11 UPnP
Note: The following section applies to Windows Media Player version 11.
Windows Media Player is bundled with Microsoft Windows Vista and is also
available as a Microsoft Windows XP update.
The HP Smart Wi-Fi Display supports media streaming from a PC on the same home
network with Windows Media Player 11 installed. Once you have installed
Windows Media Player 11 on the PC, you need to have media (photos, music,
video) in the library. You then need to configure Windows Media Player 11 to
share media from the Tools/Options menu by following the following screens.
