Hi
I am using latest version of serviio on my windows 7 (32 bits) connected to the network.
When I open my son TV kdl-40ex621 (Canadian) it shows me serviio server and I can see the folders in TV.
I added some online contents (RSS) as mentioned in one of the forum , my issue is when I open the online folder on my TV I see "There are no items to display"
I have Serviio is set to the Sony Bravia TV (2011) profile with GREEN light (automatically detected by serviio) I have following questions
a) As I don't see my TV model mention in serviio sony forum I am wondering if my TV can work with serviio?
b) Although I can see folders in TV but as mentioned above "There are no items to display" message though have online contents added to library (RSS feeds) can someone tell me If I am doing it correctly or help me with steps for this
Thanks alot
Nomi

have you tried any of the other Sony profiles to see if it makes a difference?

Also you can test with VLC to make sure the feeds are active and will stream.

If it's an US model, you probably have to manually change to "Sony Bravia TV (2011) US " profile on serviio console (we could not distinguish EU / US models).

Hi Thanks for the replies
Yes I tried with 2011 US profile but same affect, I bought my TV in Canada.
still I am not sure if my TV is supported? how can I know as I don't see my serial no in Serviio List of Sony TV?
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2396

And about VLC I will try but my question is does it make any difference as I am not seeing any items in Online folder on TV shows "There are no items to display" although I added online video streams (RSS Feeds) , May be I did something wrong but I follow the forum to add online RSS Feeds, do you tell me a working video stream for test which I can add to servvio's console and try again?
Thanks alot for all the help.

Ok some progress
I can see and access my folders for VIDEO,Pictures and Audit in the TV.
and I copied the test files .mp4 (videos),.mp3 (audit) and .jpg (picture) so I can open these files successfully to my SONY Bravia TV using Sony Bravia 2011 profile
Now the only issue is that when I access the online folder on my TV I see "There are no items to display"
So this looks like I am doing something wrong for adding online video streams and RSS , can someone help me how to figure it out? or tell me some steps of adding and seeing those streams as files in my TV.
THanks

It may take some time to download information about the online sources, so just give it a time.
