Sony Bravia V5500 - not finding Twonky

[Potsy]

Just purchased a Sony Bravia V5500 DLNA ready connected cat5 lead into wall socket which feeds back into router.

Have installed Twonky Media on Windows XP (SP2) on laptop pictures are showing in library etc on laptop. However TV cannot find Twonky BUT Twonky can see the TV.

I have stopped the firewall and still no joy (it has auto created as an excetiopn anyway). Any ideas? Network settings on TV autoconfigured and says it is okay (must be if the laptop is able to find it).

Thansk in advance...

I'm having a similar issue with this same television. In my case though, the TV can see the Twonky Server (a WD World network drive), but it cannot see any of the videos.

I'd be amazed and thrilled if someone has a solution, however I've pretty much given up on getting anything useful out of Twonky. The media sharing works (just) to Vista WMP, but it's very flaky.

Are you sure you are sharing MPEG2 files? The Bravia will only list files that are playable. DIVX/Xvid files will not work without transcoding.

Try Using Twonky Version 4 with Sony Bravia. I had purchased v5 and and had to downgrade to get it to work with my DNLA Sony tv. ie V5 did'nt work with Sony, v4 did !!
