My new KDL 46EX701- Won't display any videos using DLNA

Post by sphinx »

I bought a new Sony Bravia KDL 46EX701 last week and was excited about being able watch my home videosfrom my computer on TV wirelessly. I am able to listen to my music and play photos but for some reason won't display any videos. I have tried converting to different formats like mpeg 2, HDAVC, mp4 and nothing will be displayed. I spent like 10 hours total with Sony support on phone and they were not helpful at all. Their tech support kind of sucks actually. I was escalated to level 3 and they don't know any better than me. I am sure somebody in here can help me play my home videos from my computer on to my TV.

Please help me.

Thanks in advance

Maybe this will help, based on my 32ex703.

Do Settings/Device and tick DLNA.1.5.
Check embedded file support for movies is set to - m2t, m2ts, mpeg, mpg.

Note that transcoding is not required for mpeg2 files but the TV is fussy about playing them. As far as I can tell, it is happy with AAC audio but not mp2.
