DLNA Server in Windows 8

Question

How do I use the built-in DLNA server in Windows 8 to replace something like TVersity? I pose this question with multiple parts:

• How is it enabled?
• How do I add my folders?
• How do enable sorting, to make is ez to find videos with my TV?

Update
I have found that this is totally possible and supported in the release version of windows 8, however I found it way too limited (doesnt play mkv etc...) and have since purchased TVersity; it works very well.

Solution

You can use Windows Media Player can act as a DLNA Server

Ah nice one! but they don't cover sorting or indexing of any kind. I think I need to get up-to-speed on DLNA.

Am I using the wrong term? I mean to read videos from my PC with my DLNA enabled TV; if my term is incorrect, do you know the right one?

Aaaah OK you can use Windows Media Player for that.
