WD TV Live and Serviio
Is there any advantage to adding the WD TV Live player to this mix?

I am not a hardcore AV enthusiast. I have been watching some Film Noir videos from archive.org that are generally black and white and not high quality. Most of their films are mpeg, mp4 and ogg (download extension is ogv). I have also down loaded some YouTube BBC documentaries with file extension, flv. I can play all of the formats with the exception of
ogg, but that's ok. I had been serving files to the Bravia TV with my router (Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH) before I discovered Serviio. However, the router approach pretty much limited me to mpeg due to a lack of transcoding.
My thanks to the developer/s of Serviio for sharing their elegantly simple, but highly functional program.
