Playing files from your device on DLNA Certified™ devices
Before you can view or play media files from your device on other DLNA Certified™
devices, you must set up file sharing on your device. The devices that you share
content with are called client devices. For example, a TV, computer or tablet can act
as client devices. Your device works as a media server when it makes content
available to client devices. When you set up file sharing on your device, you must
also give access permission to client devices. After you do so, such devices appear
as registered devices. Devices that are waiting for access permission are listed as
pending devices.

> Media server.

to connect to your device.
5 A notification appears in the status bar of your device. Open the notification
and set access permissions for each client device attempting to connect to
your device.
The steps for accessing media on your device using a DLNA™ client differ between client
devices. Refer to your client device User guide for more information. If your device is
inaccessible to a client on the network, check if your Wi-Fi network is working.
