Petr,
I can't believe I had not figured this out sooner, but it turns out that the LG BD-390 can make LAN SAMBA connections to shared folders on a Mac, Linux, or Windows OS. I tested the SAMBA connection and it works perfectly -- without all the problems I had been having with playback, returning to menu after file ends, out of sync audio/video hiccups, etc. In addition, and I'm not really sure why, the picture quality is crisper. The downside is that you can only view all sub-folders, and there is no sorting by recently added, etc., and no thumbnails or transcoding (if an when Serviio will have a transcoding profile for the LG BD390?), which are very nice features within Serviio. Knowing that a SAMBA connection works flawlessly, would this information help to improve Serviio's compatibility with this player?
