First make sure your TV is DNLA / UPnP enabled. It is able to browse internet so I am guessing it does support these protocols.
There are many ways to connect your PC to your TV. Here is very one of the easy way. I have just implemented it at my uncle's house few days ago, and it works just fine.
1. Download and Install Serviio[^] on your PC.
2. Setup serviio, it is very easy and make sure it finds your TV connected in the home network. After that the software will decode the movies / music / pictures on your PC and send it to your TV.
3. Add Files / Folders that you want to share among your connected devices.
4. On your TV try to access DNLA / UPnP Devices, once it finds serviio. It will list all the files / folders you have shared.
More info, and one quick note, in the TV's network settings I assigned it an IPAddress, so that whenever the router restarts it finds the TV easily. (And so that my uncle doent call me every other week  )
After this you will be able to access your content from any device connected to your router, including your smartphone or tablet.

Rutvik Dave, after struggling as a mad man with that, finding that:
- WMP12 can't read correctly some files in it's library and assigns them 0 seconds lenght.
- WMP12 fails on finding TV.
- WMP12 mixes all the files of one kind (music videos and films).
I've installed Serviio, and it has started working properly just after installing it.
Wonderful toy.
Thank you! 
I'd like to be able to upvote your post more tan once...

Windows Media Player's Library will show up on each and every computer on the network unnecessarily. And just when you want it to work, it is acting out. Crazy...! 
I am glad I could help.

Yes, it seems incredible that the OS manufacturer ends up with something with so much personality... Then you can download something small that works...
In my case I will deactivate the windows media player network service to free resources...

And also, you need to check "Shared" on your media directory.

Already solved megaadam, after installing serviio everything started working like charm. 
|

The simplest solution?
Get one of these[^], and add your TV as a duplicate monitor.
Then you can use any of the multitude of WiFi remote control apps to control the feed with your phone/tablet, no matter which media player you're using.

OF course Mark, this is the simplest one as VLC would play virtually any file under the sun...
But now that I have it working I enjoy the benefits of using the TV remote to go to the next picture, pause films, select which film to play...
No extra cost as I had all the required equipment (one crossed cable (which I tried and works) and one access point (which I'll test today)).
Nowadays for strangely coded files I was using my laptop connected through HDMI and using my blackberry as a remote control for the laptop, so in case something fails (a file that is not capable to be sent to the TV for any reason I still do that).
It just works, and well! ![Jig | [Dance]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif)
Thank you for your idea!

Definitely use the TV as a monitor.
If it's plugged into an old desktop running a full OS, add a USB dongle for digital TV, plug the aerial cable into the dongle, and watch tv or listen to music or surf or blog, or slip a DVD into the drive or whatever.
Sound cards cost £20, you can plug them into a 5.1 speaker system for permanent home cinema or decent music.
My system has fully configurable TV channels, about 20 or 30 of them, plus radio, plus music. It runs Ubuntu 13.04, so all the software was free.
The whole system cost about half the cost of the TV/monitor, a budget 40" coming in at £300. Just don't forget a wireless keyboard and mouse, so you can sip beer and dominate the world from your comfy chair.

Yes, this could be a good option that I've seen in more than one friends house...
But now that the serviio is working and that I can stream pictures, music and films to my tv using only the TV remote, it is really convenient and it works like charm... I'm happy as a clam!
PS: It has always seemed to me incredible how IT people become happy with such those things...

Nicely done. Sounds like a cool system.

What do you think guys?
It is a paradox that paradoxes would actually exist in reality.
That means of course that they don't exist.
However, they do!

Obviously it cannot be Sacha!
It's horizontally flipped, which is technically impossible if you don't have a mirror...

Unless...
...Sacha painted the wall, disguised as a Spanish Lady, in which case he would have used a mirror...

Nope! #10,000,000 is easy to find, but since numbers aren't recycled when a member is deleted (for spam, abuse, or at his request) the 10,000,000th member would be "ten million and a bit" - and there were probably a couple of them, since spammers are removed on a regular basis. You could ask Chris, but in all probability you'll get much the same answer!
(And I strongly suspect that #10,000,000 was a coded-in fix  )

I think there was about 3 million members when I joined, but my 'mid' is 671686, so I don't know how that works.

Guess I should have looked at a bigger sample before syaing, yep that how to do it

We are in the unenvious position of having to move off Silverlight in the next couple of years and management insist on a web based solution. This seems to leave me with precisely 1 choice MVC - back to the future AAahhhhh.
Problem is I have not used ASPX for a decade (winforms then Silverlight) while these young whipper-snappers have all been using it much more recently and some have used MVC so I had better get started says I. Download VS2012, comes with MVC 4, great, find a tutorial [^]and away we go.
Now I don't want to follow the tutorial exactly, I want to build something relevant to me, a movie database is not! Naturally I make a couple of errors while putting it together and have to change the name of a table from Currencies back to Currency. EF generously created the Currencies table for me at which point I recognised my error.
After renaming and not being able to locate Currencies anywhere, deleting the table and the migration table (oh and the 2 MDBs created by my mistakes) I run the app - error EF cannot find Currencies  is going on!
Ah well it is only a learning project, nuke the app, remove the tables and create a new app, same name, SAME F***ING ERROR apparently EF retains a bunch of info somewhere and re applied it. Now to try with a different named project, after that EF is out of here.
I do like the MVC structure, it will be interesting trying to duplicate the Silverlight apps in MVC, I do love a challenge.

I suspect something isn't right with your mappings. EF will infer if you're not explicit. EF shepherds you down the path of how they want you to do things. And if you deviate from that path you'll be lucky not getting your leg broken for the trouble.

It turns out it is a fairly simple exercise to implement my own DAL layer into the solution so EF just got removed from the solution. I really wanted to see if it could be used, it would save me such a lot of time reworking my code generator, but not even being able to locate the code that is giving me the problem sealed its fate!
