[QUOTE="macnab, post: 1143656, member: 153595"] I have a normal everyday PC. On it I have folders with my ripped CDs and ripped DVDs. I have a router plugged into my Ethernet port. I have a LG BluRay player with built in 5.1 amplifier, and HDMI feed to my TV. The LG has an Ethernet port connected to the router. With WMP I select Organise, and then select the folders which contain audio and video files. This shares them (puts the into the Library folders), and I can navigate to the files with the LG home theater and play them. Except for MKV files. WMP can learn how to play MKV files, but not to share them. I am looking for something that will share my media files, including MKV. An app such as Plex does this, but it requires Internet access to even start up, and I can't find a way to add folders to it without it downloading megabytes of metadata, jpgs, etc. So I am looking for a replacement for Plex, that can be used without a major broadband connection.
