How to connect MBAir to home media player?

Hi,
I have a Western Digital home media player linked to my router, I’m trying to connect it to my MBAir via wifi so I can stream movies.

However, I can’t find out how to set up the connection on the MBAir. Can somebody please give me some instructions? This is the 1st time I’m tring to do this on OS X.
Thanks

Here are the steps i did to enable file shearing after reading posts from WD forum:
Went into System Preferences | Sharing and ticked the 'File Sharing' box, from there clicked 'Options', and subsequently ticked 'Share files and folders using SMB (Windows).
The external hard drive connected to the media player should appear in Finder side bar.
How to setup the media player for network can be found in the user manual here:

    If you press the Home button and open Security, you can change "Auto Lock Device" to "Never". Does that do what you want?
    Edit: I see you found the solution the Software board in this thread: http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=software&thread.id=13064

  • How do i get my Windows Media Player Songs to my itunes????

    Hi, I cant figure out how to transfer my w. Media player songs to my itunes?? I am still new at this can someone help me out? It asked me once along time ago but i didnt have any of my music on there then!!! Thank you so much for any help. I appreciate it! Emmers.

    Kudos!
    Anyway, I have 56 songs transfered from Windows Media Player to iTunes. I've done this over the course of one and half years at about every two or three month intervals. Every time I discovered new songs something changed in my Mom's PC and I would have to import into iTunes differently; for example, I would convert the songs and then just drag and drop into iTunes or save the playlist as a format that could be converted in iTunes. Right now I have about twenty songs in WMP waiting for iTunes. When I do drag and drop songs from WMP to iTunes they appear in iTunes but they won't sync to my Nano. They won't convert to AAC file either. Now, these are songs from the internet and that is exactly how iTunes reads them; files from a website. Is there anyway to get my songs into iTunes? I tried everything Dave Sawyer and Chris CA said but nothing seems to be working!

  • How to communicate servlets with windows media player

    I am new to web programming I am developing an application through which a client can play media file.
    I am getting problem in,how to communicate servlet through windows media player.
    I have developed the basic architecture of my application using tiger server,now I want to open media file through windows media player using openURL option(http request).
    Can any body guide me how to build a servlet which can listen this request and how to respond appropriately
    Please Reply.

    Check out the java doc for HttpServletResponse
    http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/http/HttpServletResponse.html
    Your sevlet will have to set the response contentType to the appropriate mime type
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwmt/html/mime.asp
    and contentLength to the file size (in bytes), then open the mp3/wma file and write the bytes to the servlet output stream.
    You could also choose to return an asx file (an xml document containing a url of the media file), and windows media player will automatically lookup the mp3/wma file stored on your web server.

    Qcurly,
    Probably your menu bar is hidden.  To reveal it, click the triangle by the half-shaded box at upper left and click on Show Menu Bar (as piictured).  This will reveal the menu bar with File, Edit, View, etc.

  • Sat M70: How to recover function of Express-Media-Player?

    I have M70 but I formatted it once I bought it. Now, could you tell me how to recover function of Express-Media-Player? there is not setup.exe file in the Express-Media-Player recovery CD/
    Thanks

    Hello Weimin
    In order to use the Express Media functions the Express Mediaplayer Recovery CD must be run before performing the Product Recovery from the Recovery DVD-ROM.
    You cannot run Express Media player after performing a recovery.
    On the HDD should at least 150 - 200MB free space be available.
    This free space should be on the end of the HDD and it must be unallocated.
    To start the installation you have to boot from the Express Mediaplayer Recovery CD
    Bye

  • Connect a camera to media player

    I have a NI 1764 camera. Is there any way to connect to media player from web builder? Like an webcam.
    Thx
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Adi_,
    At this point, the Media control and the Image control can only display videos and images that are hosted on a web server. So streaming video is not possible at this point. You may be able to simulate streaming by using a camera to capture images and save those images to a directory that is hosted by a web server. Then from your Web UI Builder application you could programmatically load the images in order at a desired rate (assuming the naming scheme of the image files are known). Depending on your application, this may or may not suffice.
    I apologize for the inconvenience, but your feedback is much appreciated.

  • How Access a Third Party Flash Media Player

    Hello eveyone,
    I was wondering if there is any way that I can know some how
    what buttons "Play, Pause, FF, etc. " has been clicked a third
    party Flash Media Player?
    Thank you and have a great day.
    Khoramdin

    Thanks for the suggestions it appears I was doing more or less the right things but miss reading the error message:
    Cannot access keyword.classes.thirdPartyClass
    bad class file C:\java\keyword\classes\thirdPartyClass
    class file contains wrong class: thirdPartyClass
    please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectroy of the classpath.
    While looking I have found that the classes do not contian src folders of Javadoc so I will go see if the third party can supply a Jar file or similar.
    Thanks

  • How do I transfer from Windows Media Player to ipod?

    I have recently brought my first ipod and need help transfering my libary onto my ipod.

    Hello bountyboy,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    The first thing you will have to do is import the music that is currently in your Windows Media Player library over to your iTunes library because that is the only way you will be able to sync any music to it. Here is an article that provides instructions on how to do this: [Transfer Music from Windows Media Player to iTunes|http://www.jakeludington.com/askjake/20080329_transfer_music_from_windows_media_player_toitunes.html]
    From there, you will be able to set your iPod up to sync the music and such however you wish. If you need more help on how to sync the music to your iPod, I think this Apple support document should be able to assist you.
    [Syncing Music to iPod|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351]
    Hope this helps.
