DLNA VIDEO

[stemill]

Will there be an update for my KDL-37EX503 that will get video working usefully over DLNA?

I can't help feeling a bit cheated given the amount of logos splashed on the box it looked as though it was a "do it all" DLNA player. Didn't expect to have to comb over the small print to discover mpeg4 isn't supported. What makes it more difficult to understand is the youtube player which works fine and demonstrates the tv can deal with streaming h.264 no problem - just not from my DLNA server. Very dissapointed.

No replies about transcoding on the server side please, it's not what i'm trying achieve.

Er thanks for that!?!  I'm not really that interested in what the DLNA standard is, just why the bravia can't do mpeg4.  That is, why it can't do mpeg4 over DLNA. It can do it over USB and even streaming into the YouTube player.  I just don't understand it!  And as for mpeg2 support well that's great and everything but I'm happy storing any mpeg2 video i have on the format it arrived in - a dvd. What I want is a way to play all the other video clips from cameras phones etc which is stored as mpeg4 on my NAS drive.  And as I mentioned I'm not interested in server side transcoding.

No news on this? Am I to assume Sony have abandoned support for this tv in favour of future models.
