New BDP-S5200 connecting issues

[maverick11359]

G'day guys,
Just purchased another Blu-ray player (BDP-S5200)and having some issues connecting to the DLNA from my home P.C . when trying to play from Windows 7 music and pictures from my computer. The main files come up O.K but when selecting a final file . A Dark screen comes up saying not able to play files of this category type. no mater where or which file I select it always says the same and wont play music or show video/pics.. This isn't really a to big a problem because every thing else works and connects to the net and I love the Pandora free net radio via the Blu-ray player. Also my Integra DLNA connects to my Home PC and plays the same Music just fine. Its just that my Integra doesn't support video files via DLNA and the Sony is suppose too. Any Ideas on solving this little problem are appreciated.

cheers Mav.

G'day Jehill, The problem seems to resolve it self ,some of the time. If I open up music files from the DLNA windows 7 app file under the main menu video app tag the music files want open ,but the video files do. Now here's the odd occurrence . The windows 7 app also appears under the main music app but only sometimes and I've noticed it's usually when no USB or flash drive memory stick is plugged into the BDP 5200. If and when the DLNA app for windows 7 appears and it's under the main menu music tag it also opens up and lets me play my music files but not video files. So at the moment I'm scratching my head to try and work out why the windows 7 app appears and disappears , I,m thinking It may be because I disconnect 240V mains from the BDP player every night and when powering up again next play without the USB stick the windows 7 app appears ( I let you know)... Sorry Jehill to answer your question I never really use the BDP 5100 apps on its main menu home screen, just play Blu-ray discs , I tried the youtube app once and it worked fine. cheers Mav.
