...... but i have to scroll ALL the way down pass the vast ever-growing bloatware apps

I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiment, perhaps they could a DLNA menu option from the top bar.

In the mean time found you can scroll UP to wrap to the bottom of the list on my LX900.

Any way I can get the Tv to recognise the individual albums from my iMac. At the moment it doesnt and I have to view the pictures by month to find them easily. Thx

I was using Serviio but have now installed Homestream onto my PC. Are they different under the bonnet? Interestingly Homestream lists my TV as "Bravia" but Serviio (v 1.0.1) lists it as "Sony Bravia TV(2012)" but both show the name as KDL-46HX753.

The problem I have is that I had trouble with Serviio so decided to see if Homestream worked any better.  Now, Homestream (and Serviio before) can see my TV no problem but my TV has trouble seeing Homestream (and previously Serviio).  It was intermittent and the Serviio on my PC is listed four times on the PC, and twice for my laptop.  So I have two questions:

1.  Is there any way of deleting the unwanted Serviio (and I have a Plex from earlier) devices?  I cannot find any way to remove them and it is so annoying having to scroll through them all.

2.  Why am I having trouble seeing the Homestream server?  I am running over Wi-Fi on an O2 Wireless Box II (made by Thomson)? Should I go for a wired connection?

     If your router or WIFI access point assigns different ip addresses to your PC on your home network when you boot from case to case, Homestream will appear multiple times. Only use one server.

If you use several units on WIFI remember having intra-BSS trafic enabled.on your WIFI access point (AP).

I am also experiencing missing access some times and have to try multiple times to gain access without any obvious malfunction (it's like something in the connection goes to sleep) . In general I'm happy with Homestream and when streaming it is very rare that I have problems.

Have you managed to stream anything via Serviio wirelessly? Is your PC hard wired to your hub? I have found that, in my experience, the PC's Wifi isn't 'man' enough to push the data from it to the hub, then to the TV. In my case I am using home plugs, as per my guide here; https://www.sony.co.uk/discussions/message/714067

Slightly different set-up to your wireless TV from the hub but I suspect this issue is the PC hub connection.

Let us know how you get on.

Thanks Bernie. The main PC is hardwired to the modem/router, and the TV is just another wireless device thats connected to that modem. I have a theory that the problem happens when the modem drops/loses sync. This seems to happen periodicly and I am starting to think it may be related. So I'm going to keep an eye on that.

I do like your idea of the homeplug gadgets, never even thought about using them. But that said, I dont really have any problems streaming media to the TV, be it stored on PC or web based.
