First, streaming is a black art to me so please treat me like the ignoramus that I am on this topic!
I'm trying to set up streaming from my Win 10 PC to my smart Panasonic TV using MediaMonkey. This is instead of WMP, because I cannot get that working reliably. Usually, fiddling with the PC Win 10 and WMP settings, switching on/off, cursing, etc, gets me up and running eventiually, but since yesterday I've been trying for many hours in vain.
So what I'm hoping for are simple step-by-step instructions please. And any key Win 10 settings if needed too please.
The only reference I could see to streaming was in the dialog below. I assume this shows that DLNA (which I gather is the thing that works this magic)
is enabled OK?
Clutching at straws I then tried to 'Install as service' (is that good?) but was then asked for a password to my account. I've no idea what that means. What account? In case it meant my Windows 10 User Account, I entered that (although I use only a PIN to logon to Win10), but that wasn't accepted. (
"The service did not start due to a logon failure.")
Anyway, as you can see, I'm lost!
Detailed steps (or a link to them - my searches have so far not come up with any) - would be warmly appreciated please.
