ReadyNAS Duo - DLNA - Panasonic BWT700GL
I have a Netgear ReadyNAS Duo 2000 firmware 4.1.7 that has DLNA turned on. I'm looking at the Panasonic DMR-BWT700GL as a new HDD Recorder. http://www.panasonic.com.au/Products/DVD+and+Blu-ray/Blu-ray...

I have the latest DLNA Add-on and the latest firmware and the Panasonic still can't play videos. It can see and play photos and music OK. I finally got some sense out of Netgear Support. The NAS doesn't do any transcoding. It is working correctly because of the photos and music. I can see the video files. I even downloaded DivX Plus conversion program for a 15 day trial. I converted an AVI to DivX and it still won't play through the Panasonic. I'd say I'll be going to a Panasonic forum now.
As an aside - Other features of the BWT700 still make it a worthwhile purchase, but the DLNA would have been nice, sort of. I did notice while I was recording a TV show, I thought I'd check out some photos on the NAS and test the DivX I made earlier. Once it starts recording, the network features are off and not available!
