Please help me with DLNA / Mediatomb / .m3u files

[markb68]

I have a KDL22EX553 internet TV and a server running Mediatomb on my network. Mediatomb shows up under Inputs on my TV menu and I can access folders in the Mediatomb database but I cannot see the folder contents. (.m3u files)

I can access these folders on a Windows pc and see and stream the .m3u files in Windows Media Player, so I know Mediatomb is working on the network.

Can anyone please suggest why my TV can't see the .m3u files?

I should have added, the files I want to stream from the Mediatomb server to the TV are originally in MPEG-2 TS Video format

Hi there

Firstly, you TV supports the following file formats:

DLNA Content - MPEG1 / MPEG2PS / MPEG2TS / AVCHD / MP4Part10 / MP4Part2 / WMV / MP3 / WMA / LPCM / JPEG

So, if im reading this right, you orignally had a MPEG2 TS file, and have added them to a m3u playlist?

The TV does not support .m3u playlists.  The TV doesnt support playlists at all, therefore you cannot enable mediatomb to transcode it to a playable format.

Therefore you will need to play the individual files.

Cheers
