What file containers does this TV accept when streaming via DLNA? Also, which video/audio formats?

I have no idea. It does not have a browser. It does have USB ports, and connections for RCA cables as well as HDMI. So I hope this helps you

The good news is that with recent updates, DLNA support is provided. The bad news is that is only supports DVD formatted mpeg2 files. To play other formats, you have to copy them to a USB memory stick and plug them into the USB port.

Doh. I meant over the COMPONENT video connection. The WDTV Live, for example, doesn't support 480i over component for some unknown reason.

It is not recognized as a capture device in Open Broadcaster Software, so I am assuming is also isn't on other software as well. You need to use Window Capture to capture the DMCap window when trying to stream with this device.

I guess if you dont have a DLNA TV you can use the blu-ray player as receiver (connected to the tv).That would be why I would be looking for a DLNA enabled blu-ray player

plug and play streaming from your network: try MyHD Media Player Recorder :) I've gone through 3 different models of D-link players and while they make good modems and such... their players don't cut it. have you tried converting any of your dvd's to divx? assuming you even get it to work, can you even say the quality is the same?

No this doesn't have DLNA functionality. It does support netflix, amazon video, crackle and hulu plus. The S280 on the other hand does do DLNA

Yes, the server can act as a dlna media server and stream to other devices. I stream from mine to a dlna blu ray player.

I know this is an old question but I'll answer this for everyone asking the same question. Yes it can... but you need to run a DLNA / Mediashare server app on your NAS or PC. Win XP, 7, 8: needs Windows Media Connect. Linux: you'll need to install MiniDLNA or Rygel or similar. After the server app is installed and configured, you can browse and play the shared media files from the TV through the "Media Share" app on the LG TV. I recently bought this TV and haven't found concise how-to info anywhere so I've researched and figured it out on my own. I hope I've provided helpful info.

No but you should be able to connect your tv to your network and access the files on the NAS if it is DLNA compatible.

Omar, I don't have it connected to a NAS drive personally, but the instruction manual and setup screens provide for NAS setup option. In fact, the manual states the following:"This unit can play back music files and playlists (m3u, wpl) stored on a PC and on Network Attached Storage (NAS) that supports DLNA. The network audio playback function of this unit connects to the server using Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service."The audio/video format types and specifications supported by this unit for playback are as follows:- WMA (Windows Media Audio)- MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3)- WAV- MPEG-4 AAC- FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec)- ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec)- AIFF- DSD- JPEGHope this helps.

I haven't used it that way. I was just interested in getting a really big disk drive. But it does come with server software, which is initially disabled. In theory you can stream media to DLNA or iTunes enabled devices. I just checked the manuals and found very little clear info. I can't say for sure what formats the server supports.

Yes, it has DLNA support. Weird that it was omitted in the specs.Basically it's the same as the live non-plus version but with NetFlix support.

I can play video and music directly using the HDMI connection to the TV. I can't say about any specific format. The MKV files I used run just fine.

I have three computers each running different Microsoft operating systems - Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. I can connect to each from my Samsung UN55B8000 or my UN40B7000 TV. The trick to getting DLNA to work is to share out through Media Player on your computer the content you want to view on the TV. Actaully DLNA works very well. Note: I am using a wired netowrk connection not wireless but this shuld not be a factor if you have the TV on your netowrk either wirelessly or via CAT-5 cable through the RG-45 connector on the TV.
