.mkv streaming from Mac to LG HB965NS doesn't work?

Post by junky » Fri Mar 18, 2011 8:39 am

Hello,

after installing Twonky without any problem on my MacBook Pro and getting it usually work with my new BluRay Receiver LG HB965NS I got only one question.

It's surely possible for me to stream .mp3, .avi and .mpg using my Draft-N connection, with the LG Receiver connected to my Timecapsule!

But if I try to stream .mkv, whether using cable or wifi, the screen of my TV appears black, the timecode on LG Receiver shows 00:00:00 and shortly after that, it jumps back to TVMobili menu.

I also tried TVMobili with exactly the same error.

Now my question is, if that's an error of the BluRay Receiver or the used DLNA software?

I'm using the newest firmware available and the Receiver is surely able to play .mkv from USB drives.

Thanks in advance

Its probably a combination of both, firmware of tv and version of streaming server

I know recently there was a lot fo back and forth with people updating firmware and twonky versions
to get all of the kinks worked out

I would also check to seeif there is any firmware updates for your LG
and check on the device forums at LG to see if anyone has similiar issues
