Searching streamed music on Sony Bravia

[ruhardy81]

I love my Bravia T.V and one of the main reasons I bought it was to stream music from my PC upstairs to my TV in the living room.  This works fine but I find the search music facility very poor as there are only 2 viewing options.  You have to trawl through everything right from the beginning to find an artist or album.  I am using Windows Media player.  What I want to do is browse like I do on Media player by artist or song title.  It is a nightmare tabbing from A to Z to find my favourite tracks.  Does the Bravia work with iTunes and is the search facilty any better on that?  or do I need to download some other software?

Browsing photo's is not particularly user friendly either.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Oh, have you discovered that you can turn your PC on from your TV remote by pressing the heart/fav button.

This is what I was replying to.  If I go to the heart/fav button I get the following

Clicking OK on PC doesn't do anything,

Ah I see now.

I've not tried it but I imagine if you had your PC wired up by VGA cable it would select that option.

Thanks for the reply _simo_ I have an HTC wildfire with Android and they do a plug player app for that too I might give it a go.

Thanks slowtrain, I like having all my home network on the wifi, to share all the media on the seperate devices to the Bravia.

Thanks also for the reply _simo_ I have an iPhone 4 and also a Pure lounge so use flowserver (as another DLNA server I was hopeful it would work with the Bravia, but couldn't connect it).

I'll prob give plugplayer a try.

Cheers,
