Sharp TVs

[kod]

Hi,
Does the PSM community plans to add support for Sharp TVs?
Despite the fact that they are DLNA compatible not all the content is streaming. For sure transcoding doesn't work. I have no problems streaming via PS3 or iPad/air.

Please let me know.
Thanks!

You ARE the community.
As in: I would love to help you out, but I don't have a Sharp TV. The FAQ outlines how you can create support for Sharp TVs in PMS.

FAQ: My device is not supported by PMS. How can I create a custom renderer.conf to make PMS recognize my device?

Since I have a Sharp TV...to be specific, a 60" LED (LC-60LE632U), I put this together based on what's in the user manual, as well as trial/error. I noticed issues if you specify the media type in he Supported field. I suspect this is because for a given container, and a given video, you can have different media types.

This will use the default streaming unless it has to transcode. I'm still experimenting, so feedback welcome on what should be added/removed.

Make sure to add what is below in a "Sharp.conf" file and include it in the PS3 renderers folder with the other files. It should auto-detect from that point on.

Did you ever get JPEG viewing under "Photos" on the Sharp Aquos to work with this configuration?

I can go into my folders, but can never see the files. If I use other Media Servers, they work flawlessly.
