I've had lots of success connecting my PC and a Sony Bravia with programmes other than XBMC but for some reason I can't manage it with this prog.

I'm a complete newbie on this prog but I'm using Windows 8 on a powerful machine connected by cable to a wireless hub. I'm using version 13 of XBMC.

My Sony is connected to my BT home hub using a wireless connection and if I go to Network Diagnostics on the TV I can see XBMC but get the message 'compatible files could not be found'.

Videos on my PC seem to run fine when I play them through the xbmc media player but I can't seem to get them on my TV.

Can anyone help?

You can connect your PC with a HDMI cable to the TV. Then you can watch the movies on TV.

Thanks for that. I did realise that I can hook up with a cable but it the past with other media servers I've been able to do it wirelessly. I'm hoping to do the same with this media server. I just can't work out how!

Well, XBMC/Kodi is more of a media player that connects directly to the TV/display. It does have server functionality, but that's more of a secondary feature and won't include everything that XBMC/Kodi can do.
