I thought i might add some info to a problem im having with the same TV.
I know that The Sony TV's can be selective in what they want to play, and in the past prior to version 1.0 id just select Sony Bravia TV 2009 as it didnt bother me if most of the videos were transcoded. This ensured that almost 100% of the time the video would be just played.
When 1.0 came out this was no longer a solution as a new problem started the "Aspect ratio issue"
Im currently using 1.1 and the serviio software is alot better, more responsive i.e. fast foward/rewinding etc... and i want to try address some of the issues i have initially.
I have currently 3 tvs so i have plenty to test with
NX710 2010 model
HX820 2011 model
HX850 2012 model.
Im in australia
Ill start with my HX820, here is an example of a file i can play using Sony Bravia 2011 US but not Sony Bravia 2011, your thoughts?
