Use a pair of Homeplugs. Costs about £40 for a pair, you plug one into a socket next to your broadband router, and the other in a socket next to your TV, and it runs the signal over the mains electricity. No need to have long wires trailing everywhere, and it is generally faster and more reliable than wireless (for which you would need to buy the Sony-branded wireless adapter for £50, you can't just buy any USB dongle).

Ditto! Me too.

FAT 32's file size limit is a factor that stops me using that method

Ah ... so you are into serious MKV files >4GB? Respect

It's not that serious, most of my new BD-rips are MKVs over 4GB in size, it's becoming the new standard for ripping your library

For me, uncluttered means not having to mess about plugging things in back and forth transferring movies from PC to drive etc.

One Ethernet cable hidden away going from TV to Router.
PC Running Win 7 64bit and Serviio (no FAT32 nonsense required).

Download Movie - Serviio refreshes the catalogue and shoots off the the Interent to download the cover art.
I press Media on my TV Remote and it's ready to go - cover art showing.


Of course, the PC has to be on to use it but that is no great shakes to me

Could you please explain the advantages of Serviio. I have the same set up as you and can access all my media files without Serviio.

What's the IP address of your router?

Are you seeing that message on the TV or on the TP-Link web page?
