BDP5200: file support on DLNA (wireless or cable)

[Htrnb]

Hi all.
I'm new of the forum.
I want to buy a Blu-Ray player. I found the BDP5200 very interesting.
I don't found information about the file compatibility on DLNA. It can read mkv, Divx HD and Xvid from a network hard drive that supports DLNA (like WD my book live) or from a router with usb hard disk that supports UPnP Media Server (like Linksys E4200)?
BDP5200 is able to manage more different audio and sub inside a mkv?
Thank you all

regrettably, mkv cannot be streamed through DLNA.
to my knowledge this cannot be done by other brand as well.

so i just live with it, when play mkv i just use my HDD.

I don't know if the BDP5200 can stream mkv on DLNA, but the BDP7600 can http://www.supportforum.philips.com/...ll=1#post22792

I tried allot of media software, but using twonky server i can actually stream MKV now on my BDP5200!!

So it is possible with the lastest trial version of twonkey server.

Can we connect 500gb external Hard disk to this BDP5200 player???

[Oscar]

Yes you can via the USB connection

[preddy]

Does it support more than 500GB hdd? i mean 1TB hdd??

[Oscar]

Hi preddy,

From external HDD to 500gb to 1TB

Yes but the loading time might be longer which makes sence..

Also better next time start a new topic since you are going of this thread...

My experience:
TVersity on windows 7 and WXP (never transcode)

BDP5200 (DLNA cable connected) works smooth with mkv up to 1920*1080 audio DTS, AAC, subtitles and multilanguage.
The only problem is with FLAC audio.
My Wifi connection (54 kbps) is not enough fast and stable to play HD video.
