I have a Samsung Smart TV Curve 4K HDR 55k 138cm.įrom my TV I have direct access my computer (which was detected automatically), access spotify (installed the app), Amazon (installed the app), Netflix (installed the APP) … My point is precisely what you mention: why should WD invest money programming an app for Smart TVs? In my opinion: because it is a much better service to the client and because there are already 759 millions of Smart Tvs in the world ( Number of connected TV sets worldwide 2010-2018 | Statista) which are owned mostly by people who don’t know what DLNA is or hot to configure Plownky. Does the client has to have advanced technology knowledge? I am guessing that my tv does not support diretly DLNA because i cannot find my disk in the TV. I am not sure if my TV supports DLNA (what is DLNA?). My Cloud Homeīecause that’s what distinguishes the best companies from the rest. Since you have a My Cloud Home, you should see the dedicated subforum for the My Cloud Home as this subforum is for a different product (single bay My Cloud) which has different features and options. That’s why there is a standard like DLNA so TV manufacturers like Samsung can provide their own apps to access media servers like the My Cloud Home.
All of which costs time and money for both WD and the TV manufacturers.
Why should WD create an app when your TV, if it supports DLNA, probably already has one included? Unless your smartTV uses Android or iOS as an operating system it would require WD to work with Samsung and other manufacturers to code specific apps for each manufacturer’s product. It would even be great for WD to have an app because it would be free advertisement of their products in every single smart tv on the planet. Why must I know how to install and configure complicated (and probably expensive) software in order to stream their family videos stored in their family NAS (My Cloud Home in my case) Instead of having an app from WD to do the connection and streaming? I am not an engineer and this remembers me of the 80’s and 90’s where i had to use DOS and configure the BIOS.
