Recently bought a Panasonic Viera TV. Have set it up with a Netgear WiFi adapter so it can connect to the Internet for the Panasonic Viera Connect/Cast features.

This also allows me acceess to my home network so that the Viera Tools -> Media Player feature can be used. So having run through the configuration I can now see my PogoPlug as a media server on the Viera screen. I can select it and navigate to Media and LocalDrive folders. However When I get down to afolder, there seems to be a problem if there are more than 40 files i the folder - anything beyond the fiorst 40 isn't shown by the Viera menu. This is a bit of a problem if you're looking at, dsay, a whole load of photos from the same folder, or music files from several albums by one srtist.

I suspect this is a PogoPlug issue because,if I run my PC and use Windows Media Player - which I can see as a server from the Viera menu, WMP seems to find all files - insread of just getting the total 40 displayed on the Viera screnn, I can see in excess of 1,000 files (the total number is displayed on the Viera screen and you justeep scroling down..). However if I use the PogoPlug as the server accessed from the Viera, the total number displayed at the bottom of the Viera screen is only 40, and I can't scroll further than that!)

Anyone got any ideas if this linitation can be overcome? Is it a bug in the PogoPlug software that delivers the receives the media info from the server? Is WMP doing something that PogoPlug isn't?

Any ideas folk?
