Hi,
I am trying to have PS3 Media Server on my mac act as a DNLA server for my Sony Bravia KDL-32cx520k TV.
I have created a .conf file in line with a user group for the server that should serve for Bravia TV's, the TV recognises the server, and the server recognises the presence of the TV according to the conf file, but it only plays a limited number of media files.
My windows DNLA server on the other hand plays most of the files from the same collection.
Are there some settings/ media specs I can edit in the conf file that get the PS3 server working.
BTW the server works well with the Sony PS3...
I have added the conf file here in case any experts can look and advise.
