Well, it will be here tomorrow so I'll see for myself what it is like...

I've had a couple of LG Blu-ray players and they were fine.

I've waffled on HTPC versus DLNA device for over a year.  Figured it was time to give this a try.  If it doesn't work I'll order the $350 Slim Tower Dell.  Put it behind the LCD.

DLNA works.  Music is peachy.  Video is sorta there.  I'm guessing that whatever is natively supported works and that whatever isn't isn't being converted correctly.  Not bad for about 5 minutes worth of setup and about 1 minute worth of software setup.

Having better video luck with WMP.  Still can't get my mkv's to play.

What is the most appropriate way of triaging this?

This is a fine DVD player.  Not so great at the blu rays.

You could try it with video conversion on and off. I'd suggest turning on DLNAExtra (in advanced options) too.
If conversion is on, the mpeg2/dvd one is the only format required to be supported by DLNA. Try that first.

No joy with the mpeg2/dvd bit.  I'm still playing with things.

The number of firmware updates for this thing is ridiculous.  It is getting better, however.

What formats does it play with video conversion turned off and DLNAExtra turned on?

One data point before I forget ... If I enable always convert, files that used to play do not.

As it is, something or another changed (player firmware/MC?) and it now works.  DLNAExtra and never convert is set.  Go figure.

Version .78, I think.

Some of the devices require the mpeg override set and the DLNA type changed to MPEG_PS_NTSC from the default MPEG_PS

Looks like your firmware fixed it though..
