Is there a way to access content shared by SMB servers, from a Sony Bravia internet TV. The TV currently supports accessing Videos/Music/Pictures from a DLNA server. I want to know if there is a way to access SMB shares on LAN.

I don't think that Sony Bravia support SMB shares. However you can install a Media Server like MiniDLNA, Serviio, Plex, TVMobili etc... and then share these files over DLNA. As many of these Media Servers can access remote SMB shares so you can install a media server on you Mac / Windows / Linux and then expose the SMB share using media server to your Sony Bravia.

Hope it helps.
