Media server: no folder on Sony Bravia KDL43WD750

[Kyragos]

Hello!

I just got a brand new TV: a Sony Bravia (KDL43WD750). I am still discovering it.
Usually, I use Universal Media Server (UMS) on my PS4 to watch my videos from my computer without any issue. However, it doesn't seem to work from the Home menu of the new TV. When I go to the Media menu, UMS is available. But when I go in there, the expected folders are not there, just "There are no items to display".

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Update: the server diagnostics says it failed

Update 2: Tried with Serviio. Same result. "Communication with the server was unsuccessful."

Hi there

If you have connected your TV via Wifi - can you please test using an ethernet cable and then change the network settings to reflect this.

This is to rule out or confirm a wifi issue.

It's already connected via Ethernet. I tried with my Wifi network for the same result. Also tried switching between automatic and manual network settings.

Hi all,

have you also rebooted the Router?

Yes. No change.

UMS is up to date? You can try to uninstall and install it again...

Up to date and reinstalled. But this shouldn't comme from UMS specifically as I tried Serviio. Every media server seems to be affected. They work on my PS4, but not on the TV, even though they are listed.

Also Serviio yes..., you have wrote of this...

For a verify (of your home network), you can create a network from a mobile device (Tethering if Android or Personal Hotspot if iOS) and connect it TV and PC? This if your PC is a laptop or if you have a wireless adapter if a desktop..., or if you have a laptop for install UMS / Serviio on it.

With the PS4 Server works but the problem I don't think is the TV, but isn't impossible...

I use a desktop computer and I don't have a wireless adapter... I may be able to try with a tired laptop if it agrees, but certainly not today.
