Good day,
I have observed that for v1.2.6.2975 of PMS for Windows my SONY Bravia 2009 series televisions connect nd navigate folders, but when entering a folder I get the message "There are no items to display".
It appears the issue is tied to transcoding as the one MPEG2-TS file (the only format that these old SONY TVs can play natively) appears and plays fine. Every other file I have (which worked fine a couple of versions back - v1.2.3.2914 I think) no longer appear - I get the "There are no items to display" message.
Here are some of the entries from the DLNA log if that helps...

I do hope this is resolved in the next version as my WEF (Wife Enjoyment Factor) is rapidly decreasing.
Cheers,
