DivX on KDL-32W5500

mrpmorris — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 11:54:26 GMT

I have a NAS drive with DNLA on it and my Bravia on the same network. I can see MPG files and play those but anything ending with AVI or DIVX doesn't appear on the file list of available films on my TV.

Can my model play DivX files, or do I have to convert them to MPG files?

Had the same question

Found solution on sony forum here

Basically the DNLA does not recognise native divx or xvid or mkv files - bravia of this era will only play divx etc from USB or other input (e.g. VOD) and not over DNLA.
