Sony 40W5500 no talk to 5200 NAS
Posted: Wed Apr 29, 2009 7:41 pm
OK,.. New boy on the block,.. seeking help...
Have tried 5200 forum,.. and have essentially exhausted the kind help of people there,..
So now I am looking for some help with the interface and comms issues experienced with
SONY KDL 40W5500 TV and Thecus 5200 NAS,.. basic hardware working OK but there are some definate comms/protocol issues.
Loaded the latest 2.0.16 ( ver 5.build of Twonky ) build of 5200 NAS module server,.. and Sony TV would not see any MP3s or jpg files to display, neither would it play any videos... although it would show the folders/directores,.. there was just nothing in then, according to Sony.....
Tried again with Twonky 4.4.14,.. and this time a little more succuss,.. MP3s play'able although they only play for a few seconds,. somewhere between 10 and 70 seconds, then abort to next track,..
JPGs play for ever this is brilliant,.. great job on these,.. but alass video files cannot be encouraged to register, let alone play with 4.4.14, ( with ver 5 they do register fine, albeit they don't play ).
I have attached a log of the 4.4.14 when it is trying to play MP3s,.. when it keeps aborting to the next track...
Ideally I would like this to work with Version 5.x,.. but am willing to help in any way I reasonably can...
Thanks to all who partictiate in this forum for their help
regards
