I was wondering if any have an idea of how to use you pc as an external HDD for the tv, so that you get full access to the HDD from the tv, only using USB browsering.
I know that this is a crazy idea, but it would help me a lot because my TV is a Phillips and the most DLNA servers that i found is not stable all the time.
If you have any idea please tell me, then i will try that out.
Answer
USB used a master-slave setup.
Usually one has a host which acts as a master, and a slave device with a totally different role. Those two are not interchangeable. USB even uses clearly distinct connectors to indicate the kind of device and to make sure that you connect a master to a slave, and not two slaves or two masters.
To use your PC as a storage device you would either need an USB controller which acts as a slave, or a controller which can be used both as a master or as a slave.
These are not common. Usually you only find them in a few portable devices (such as smartphones) and there it is called USB on the Go. No regular PC that I know off supports this feature.
