can't watch movies from my library on my TV - blindeye - 2012-05-21
Hi all,
this is my first post, so first let me say hello.
I have a lot of movies on my computer in both MKV and AVI format.
I also have DLNA capable bluray player and tv
I have installed XBMC on my computer and setup my library.
when I go to my TV, XBMC shows up as a DLNA client and I can view my library. however, when I try to play a movie, I simply get the message "cannot play"
Any ideas on what I have done wrong?
thanks

Can the Blu-ray player/TV play avi/mkv files?
Doesn't sound like it.

Using WINDOWS? Make sure your folder is shared.
Some TVs don't like XBMC as a dlna server, try Serviio, it works for me.
