That's true for DLNA in general whether it is on TVs or other media players because most functions and codecs are optional. The server has to know the device capabilities and often transcode things to match.
DLNA is a big mess. works OK for audio, stinks for video. The better set top boxes can play video files off SMB/CIFS and that works much better., assuming your video files are encoded in a format that the box supports (and most such boxes support a wide range of common video formats including MKV, M4V/MP4, etc)
