Media Streaming to Sony BDP-S770

I have scanned all the media from my Synology NAS and can see it in Twonky and it plays on the PC, I can see Twonky in the menu of the Sony BDP and when you go into the folders you can see the files but when you try and access them all you get is the message "no playable file"??
All the files on the NAS are stored in my iTunes library.
Any direction would be appreciated

Well here is a start-
1) What type of files will not play? Audio, Video?
2) Do these files have DRM? If so then won't work.
3) What is the container/codec/profile of the files that will not play?
4) Does your Sony BDP-S770 support these files combination of container/codec/profile?
If you want to discover the details of your media files then i suggest you try mediainfo-

It does a good job of detailing the contents of media files.

All the music files are mpeg 4 and for the most have been ripped form CD so no DRM issues, I think is a simple error on my part as they play fine with the Twonkey console its just asetting somwhere I have missed which permits BDP seeing what is in the folder?

The specs for this player (found here
http://www.sonystyle.com/wcsstore/SonyS ... 225464.pdf)
says that it will only play MP3 and LPCM (.wav) via DLNA. See page 34 and footnote 5.
