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+-+Players+and+Recorders/DMR-BWT700GL/Specification - this is an Aussie model.

One of the Panasonic specs is that it is a DLNA Server and Client. Has anybody used one of these HDD recorders with the ReadyNAS and used DLNA to stream AVI's. Does it work?

I tried ringing Panasonic and they said ---- hmmm maybe. You should contact Netgear to get the answer.

Tried ringing Netgear and got shifted through a few different areas, then finally to a number that really gave me no options to go anywhere. After 15minutes of crap at Netgear, I got a recording that ended up hanging up.

  • Further to the above, and in response to something I just read in another tread. File size doesn't look like it can be the problem. Even very small files less than 10 Mb (.avi) get the same 'can't play' error.
  • I have now also tried installing Twonky Media server on the Ready NAS Duo. This did not change anything. Still the same can't play file error. :(
  • Hi,

    I've the same problem with the Panasonic SC-BTT770 Blue-Ray player, I can stream pictures and Mp3s and I can see all videos, but can't play them. If I create a Win7 Mediastream with my PC I can play nearly every format without any problem.
    Twonky also wasn't working for me, same problem as with ReadyDLNA?
    Is there no other solution?
    What about netgear, don't they care at least a bit?
  • Hi All,

    I have a Panasonic Viera ST30 tv and a Panasonic blue ray BDT1100.

    If I use the TV to connect to my ReadyNas then it can play most video files on my server, and the blue ray can play almost none. So I think the issue must lie with device you are using to access the server. They must not have the ability to play those file types.
