just bought a Sony Bravia LCD TV and found it's got a network port for connecting to a media server (how useful I thought...)
so, tried TVersity as a server and the TV wouldn't find it at all, so did a bit of googling for Sony compatable media server info and stumbled upon Mezzmo which seems to work nicely (15-day trial)

Before I buy this seemlingly working software, has anyone used it before and can comment about how it works and any potential "gotchas"?

thanks in advance.


some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:

The bravia should work with any DLNA type server, and plenty of free ones out there. Try XBMC first (external link) and see if it works just as well. Might take some fudging to get it perfect, but free is free.


I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.
