Good dlna server for Lion and sharp aquos Tvs

FWIW ... I use TwonkyServer to stream from my Mac (running Lion) to an Xbox 360 attached to my Panasonic HDTV. I have been using this server over the last two years with different equipment and it has always worked flawlessly.

Rivet, since Lion appeared was a good option but it has been not supported anymore.

I now started using iSedora (paid software also) because the rest of media DLNA servers didn't work with my Mac and TV (LG plasma)

Greetings from Spain

iSedora is the best I have come across so far for the mac.

Ther are some (display) oddities though with complex strucures of your media files (e.g. deeply burried pics in aperture). But it streams anything to your TV.

I used to have a 30 foot HDMI cable going from my Mac to my Denon receiver (which just turned in to a second monitor) and using Plex, I would play my HD MKV files without issue. Now my Mac mini is in one room and the home theater is in another and I can't get any AVI or MKV files to play through my Samsung equipment. Vuze SUPPOSEDLY supports streaming to thousands of DLNA devices but while I could see my files, none of them would play. I've also tried Plex, VLC, EyeConnect, and TVMobili. I have the same problem with all of them. Either they won't play MKV files, or I'll select an AVI and it'll see the file but never play it. Then each server, in its own way, disconnects from my device.

Hardware:

Samsung PN51D8000 Plasma

Samsung BD-D5500 Blu-Ray

Denon 3808CI

Mac Mini - Intel 2.4GHz, 8 GB RAM, OS X Lion 10.7.2

Thanks for any assistance anyone can provide.

I've started using Playback from Yazsoft with my Sony Bravia. I also tried XBMC (didn't work with the Bravia; this issue is discussed on the XBMC forums and I don't think there's a resolution) and TVMOBiLi (didn't feel very Mac-like). Playback is simple to use and made for Mac. I'm interested to give iSedora a shot since it claims to be specially tuned for Sony Bravia TVs, but very happy with Playback at the moment.
