Which is not the TV in your case but Helium, so the user-agent regexes in the Bravia*.conf don't match.

As for images, psm doesn't seem to support JPEG transcoding; the Bravias only do 640x480 IIRC; easy to test if you check with the internal DLNA server on the N9 which does JPEG transcoding (as it's mandatory for DLNA).
Yes, PS3Mediaserver does transcoding to MPEG2/LPCM for me when playing a movie to my Bravia TV.
So, in this case, you think that if I muck around with the N900.conf file in the PS3Mediaserver to make it match the Bravia conf, do you think it will get rid of the excalamation marks and be able to play files to the TV !?
