Hello,

Until today I was with Free on ADSL (Freebox Revolution) and I used FreeMe/UPNP to watch movies stored on my Windows 10 64-bit pro computer on my TV.

Since today, I have switched to Orange for fiber, as they have just cabled my street and Orange had the monopoly on cabling buildings as subscription orders were taken with them.
I am very satisfied with the fiber speed, 380Mb, while on ADSL I was at best at 13Mb...

Anyway, I have this PC, a Livebox 5, and a TV HD decoder; the connection between the PC and the Livebox is via Ethernet cable and from this box to the TV decoder it’s done via WiFi.

Everything works wonderfully; my question is: how can I view the content of my computer's hard drives on my TV?? just like I did with Free,

Thank you in advance for your answers :)

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 77.0

    Hello hunter, you're distracted xiley has a question
    you need to go to menu, orange and me, media center, networks, access on the TV to the content connected to my network, click on the orange circle: music photos videos from the windows tree only appears
    with this decoder we can communicate by voice
    for the upstream speed I correct myself it's 380 megabits/second, Mbps and not MB

    please remember to mark "resolved" on your message if that's the case

    Hi,
    are you sure that freeme doesn't work for that anymore?
    Otherwise, media player or VLC should do the job.

      Hello,

      With FreeMe, I was constantly experiencing disconnection issues on Win10 while it worked well on Win7.

      I finally managed to go through Windows Media Player, as advised by Orange, and it works perfectly, except that I haven't been able to create subfolders yet; I don't even know if it's possible.
