Are you referring to using the UPnp function of XBMC to share media with your TV?
XBMC is mainly meant as a Media Center for HTPCs. The HTPC provides the playback to the TV. If you just want a DLNA server, you would be better served by other software.
XBMC can make media available over UPnP, but it does no transcoding for devices. If your TV can not playback the media in its codec/wrapper you are out of luck.

Thank you. I was led to believe this was a streaming media via local network. I will look elsewhere.
