I am using version .5 of the Serviio and a Costco Sony BDP-BX57 blue ray player. My movies play with no problem, but I get the message "There iis no playable file" when I try to play my mp3 or my jpg files. I have loaded the files on a USB drive and they play with no problem. They play ok on my direct tv hd dvr using other media servers. I love your software and know it should work. What dumb thing am I dooing wrong?
I would appreciate any help you can give me.

Remember

only videos open in video section.
only music opens in audio section.
only images open in images section.

Thanks for your response. I uninstalled to other servers and rebooted and my
problems were fixed. Great product.

Absolutely. What Zip has achieved on his own outranks most of the other DLNA servers on the market imho and they have whole dev teams. I'm recommending it all the time. Although things like XBMC can do metadata retrieval they always seem to go wrong or repeatedly find the wrong metadata, or crash and corrupt the database etc. For me Serviio is the only one that just works, and I just really like all the design choices throughout. So many of these kinds of applications suffer from features crudely bolted on and lack the overall clarity and quality that Serviio has.
