Just wondering if anyone is able to help me with this.
Basically I'd like to view programs I've recorded on my Bravia via USB HDD on my laptop/phone. Simply plugging the usb into my laptop instantly asks me to format the USB.
However if I use linux I'm able to see the files and copy them to another USB, problem is I'm still unable to play the files.
It appears the TV has partitioned the USB into 6 parts, 3 of 6mb that contain nothing, 2 of 103mb that contain files that have the program info stored in them and one of 30gb that has a folder called stream and where it appears the actual videos are.
The first recorded program is called 01000001.00 and also has a file called 01000001.tlt, the second is called 01000002.00 and so on.
I've tried playing the files with Media Player Class/VLC and opening in various editing software but nothing I've tried works. I realise this is obviously the way Sony wanted it but is there any way I could possibly get these files to play on something other than the TV itself?
Appreciate any help.
