You probably just have to buy a model that supports more file formats. But then again this is Sony we are talking about. they have huge steak in the music and movie industry and would want to keep it that way with the "industry preferred" formats. Usually when buying this stuff the technical manual will give you a hint of what it can and cannot decode. ----- Original Message ----- | From: "TheMburu George" <themburu@gmail.com> | To: "Skunkworks Mailing List" <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> | Sent: Monday, December 5, 2011 9:42:16 PM | Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Enable Sony Home Theatre play and recognize | proprietary formats | Ok ok ok, so how do we fix these codec issues? | ./TheMburu | On Mon, Dec 5, 2011 at 9:39 PM, James Nzomo < kazikubwa@gmail.com > | wrote: | | @All | | | Service manuals are a highly guarded documentation due to | | industrial | | espionage and what have you. | | | For some manufacturers (nokia) they divide this info into levels eg | | level 1,2,3,4. | | | The higher you go the more trusted the wielder. | | | But the most secret proprietary info will not be divulged to | | anyone. | | | @Aki. | | | Boss bwana.
