Greetings!
I am very new to this forum and friend of mine recommended me to this and so far it has been fun going through couple of interesting forums.
Anyhow, i've been trying to figure out how to play media content on my external hdd through my wifi router on my tv and have had no luck.
I dont want to use the USB cord to connect to the TV as probably i might have to connect a wifi dongle on it and unfortunately i only have one usb port in the tv. Also i dont want to use my laptop or desktop for this purpose.
Below are the components/ devices i own so far for this purpose.
32lv3730 LG LED Smart TV
D-Link Wifi router with USB storage port at the back
2 TB seagate external hdd
I am in the process of purchasing the wifi dongle for my tv (probably by end of this month)
I've been able to access the hdd on my laptop by connecting the hdd at the back of the router. However i am skeptical if my tv would be able to do the same once i've the wifi dongle connected to the TV. If not, is there an additional device or component i need to purchase so that my tv can detect the media off of my hdd through wifi?
