I'm just saying that in general it is going to be way easier to get a TV to connect to a media server, than to turn it into one without a lot of limitations.
And you're doing what Google is doing - reading far more into what I want to do, and not actually understanding the problem.
It is BOG STANDARD functionality for TVs nowadays to play media files off a USB stick that is plugged into the TV. The TV in question COMES with a version of linux.
All I want to do is to get mp3/mp4 files on to that USB stick without having to resort to sneakernet.
I don't know who started talking about media servers, but it sure wasn't me. All I want to do is take advantage of STANDARD functionality that comes with ANY modern TV.
(I do appreciate that the tv manufacturers almost certainly haven't thought of that, so it won't cross their minds to make it easy.)
