Anyone know of software/hardware or a box, such that a LAN device or PC (windows, linux) with folders of photos, mpegs, can produce a USB connection as if it were a USB storage device?
Here's why: My new TV has an ethernet interface and lots of Yahoo Widget Apps, but none of them, nor the TV's firmware will detect a media server on the LAN, or at least I've not found how to do so.
The TV also has USB ports that, via a Yahoo "media" widget, will find photos and do slide shoes. But it's a hassle to move photos to a USB thumb/hard drive and go plug it into the TV.
I really misunderstood that this TV cannot find media servers on my LAN. I thought DLNA compatibility was what I needed. But there are so many acronyms in this HD and media era. And some vendors have their own marketing names for this stuff.
