Playing Media Files

When devices are successfully connected, the source device’s media files are listed on the smartphone. This networked media file access can be applied to several situations, including:

• The smartphone allowing a TV to play the smartphone’s media files

• The smartphone playing media files from a tablet

• The smartphone allowing a TV to play media files from a tablet

In every case, the smartphone controls playback. Net Media has a variety of built-in media players to play different types of media file. For these media players, refer to “Gallery”, “Music”, and “Videos”, though Net Media’s media player interfaces differ.

The smartphone can also be put under the control of another device, as well.
