Hi,
I'm trying to put together XBMC and Sony's KDL-40Z5500 via DLNA. Many have noticed that Z4500's DLNA supports only pic's and music, but Sony has informed that nyt Z5500 should support also video:

My problem is this. I've activated UPnP client, renderer and server in XBMC and also created music, video and video shares where are some mp3s, jpgs and avis. Openig these using XBMC works fine on my Mac. Sony's TV do not show XBMC media center in Photo, Music or Video -sections when browsing "home" menu. It only shows Windows Media Player's media sharing service from the other computer in my network.
When going to "network settings" in TV and choosing "server diagnostic" the XBMC is found from network, but TV says that it cannot be connected successfully. When opening found media server TV will give XBMC's information like IP, UDN, MAC and TCP port. It also gives this error message "Compatible files could not be found". :confused2:
Am I doing something wrong setting up XBMC? Does XBMC support Sony's Z5500 series DLNA? Will it support it at some time in future - when?
