I have a pretty ancient Sony Bravia TV 40ex703 and it most certainly does support dina (I
use minidlna on fedora 21 only wireless LAN) you don't access it through the web
browser - but you should find your flan servers listed under music, photo, or video
sources

Of course I've tried that. The Bravia shows a whole bunch of (mostly
useless) video providers, also Youtube, Netflix, Amazon etc. That's not
the point. If there's a provider they don't have an app for then the
only option is to use the clunky built-in browser. You also get to
authenticate by typing your password with a TV remote. Hours of fun.
There's also a barely functional Plex client running under an Opera app
in the TV (only works with the paid Plex subscription).
The alternative is to use XMBC on a dedicated PC. There are lots of
those around, but that means a) dropping another $100 or so, and b)
having another bit of hardware to plug in and maintain. Since I already
have an i7 16GB desktop with a fast Internet connection, I was hoping to
reduce the complexity rather than increase it.

I did have a brief try at it a while back. Seemed to be a lot of trouble
to set up and I don't think I got it working. I might take another look.
