KDL-46W5500&DLNA

[reneare]

I am not able to view films/movies in HD via DLNA fluently. The films are often interrupted (cut/stopped). I have tested PS3, Mezzmo, TwonkyMedia server and various storages (NAS servers), ... and nothing helped. When I am playing DVD or DivX films from the same media server via DLNA everything is OK. I am using 100Mbps network. KDL-46W5500. Please help. Rene

Ok so SD content works but HD content has buffering problems?

Does it work ok when streaming from a PC to the TV or is it jut when from server to the TV?

Can you go into a bit more details about your setup and what you've tried so far?

thanks

I tried streaming from laptop (I tested WinXP and Windows7) whith various DLNA servers (PS3, Mezzmo, Twonky media, ..). HD video is stored on 2x1TB HDD (RAID0) connected to laptop via IEEE1394 and I tested also connection of HDD via USB 2.0.

I tried NAS server (2x1TB, RAID0) with PS3 and Twonky media DLNA server as well.

The result is always the same - the video is not played fluently and often is stopped completelly.

Thanks for help

Hi, Most server software will transcode on the fly, it sounds like you have a buffering issue when transcoding your files, although the TV supports a lot of formats, most DNLA server packages convert to a single standard like MPEG2_PS for HD, in this case you need to play with the transcoding settings on your PC, it could be over transcoding and then cant buffer enough and the connection fails.
