ExFat JBOD RN104 DLNA server for Bravia TV
Hello, I'd like to set up my rn104 to use new exfat formatted HD's as a DLNA server for a Bravia TV. The plan is to connect the RN104 to a wi-fi router (gigabit) but also have the option of connect...

Trying to use a different filesystem (e.g. exFAT) is a very big hack and not supported.
Why do you want to directly connect the NAS to the TV? Concerns over Wi-Fi performance? Using a wired network could be a good solution.
Thanks for the quick response mdgm,
not good news though. :(
Yes I'm concerned about wi-fi performance. The router is distant from the TV, the signal isn't great and for the same reason cables are out. 'Broadcast' HD is fine but I'm not so sure it'll hold up for very high quality files. Plus it would just be more conveinent to connect via USB.
But if. as you say. the RN104 can't be used to serve files via USB directly to the TV, then there's no need to exfat format the drives :( :)
Thanks again.
