Sharing content with DLNA Certified™
devices
You can view or play media content saved to your phone on other devices such as,
for example, a TV, a computer, or a tablet. Such devices must be DLNA Certified™
by the Digital Living Network Alliance and must be connected to the same Wi-Fi®
network as your phone in order for content to be shared. You can also view or play
content from other DLNA Certified™ devices on your phone.
After you set up the sharing of content between devices, you can, for example, listen
to music files stored on your home computer from your phone, or view photos taken
with your phone camera on a large-screen TV.
Playing files from DLNA Certified™ devices on your phone
When you play files from another DLNA Certified™ device on your phone, this other
device acts as a server. In other words, it shares content over a network. The server
device must have its content sharing function enabled and give access permission to
your phone. It also must be connected to the same Wi-Fi® network as your phone.

Preparing to play phone content on DLNA Certified™ devices
Before you can view or play media files from your phone on other DLNA Certified™
devices, you must set up file sharing on your phone. The devices you share content
with are called client devices. For example, a TV, computer or tablet can act as client
devices. Your phone works as a media server when it makes content available to
client devices. When you set up file sharing on your phone, 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.
