Any body got the bdv-e380?

 

Which filetypes does the bdv-e380 play over dlna?

(mkv? divx? xvid? subtitles?)

 

I've got the lcd ex710, and that doesn't play "anything" over dlna, so I want to make sure this plays my files before buying

 

Thanks..

    Get a decent DLNA streamer like Serviio and it will manage and transcode anything for both your TV and BDV. Free and has dedicated profiles for Sony hardware..

     

    cheers

    The product page (and I guess the manual) for the BDV-E380 lists the following handled media types:

     

    Xvid HD 1080

    YES

    mkv Playback

    YES

    MPEG-4 AVC (.mkv, .mp4, .m4v, .m2ts, .mts)

    YES

    MP3

    YES (BD, DVD, CD, USB, DLNA)

    AAC (.m4a)

    YES (BD, DVD, CD, USB, DLNA)

    WMA9 Standard (.wma)

    YES (BD, DVD, CD, USB, DLNA)

    LPCM (.wav)

    YES (BD, DVD, CD, USB, DLNA)

    GIF (.gif)

    YES (BD, DVD, CD, USB, DLNA)

    PNG (.png)

    YES (BD, DVD, CD, USB, DLNA)

     

    For many of the file formats listed, it's going to be more down to whether the NAS supports them. For instance, my NAS (Buffalo Linkstation Mini) runs Twonky Media Server on it natively, and that cannot support MKV files.

     

    Have a look at the manual (or product page on the web) for your NAS drive to determine what it can deal with.

     

    Cheers,
