Initial setup
Hi,
I'm sorry if this is answered elsewhere but i have been looking/searching and cant find a discussion that answers my questions.
I have a Sony Bravia KDL-40EX700 with current software version PKG4.131GAL-0108 connected to my network.
My desktop PC is Windows 10 with all current patches and updates.
I have installed the current version of Serviio (v1.7.11) which is still in the Pro trial stage.
I have adjusted my firewall to alow the required ports (i have even disabled the firewall in some tests)
I have added a folder with about 40 MP4 videos in the root directory as well as in sub folders and they are listed in the video count on the welcome screen.
These MP4 videos work perfectly if i copy them to a USB stick and plug it into the TV.
From the TV i can brows and see the Serviio server and i can select Video and any of the sub options but i can not see any of the videos listed.
I can see the sub folders so i know the TV is seeing the server and the server is showing the correct folder.
I was thinking that maybe it's the format of the Video but i am unsure what format i should make them (i have the original DVDs so i can re-code them to whatever is needed)
Another possibility is i have missed doing something in Serviio to activate the video delivery?
I'm just not sure and bow to the forums greater wisdom.
