Panasonic TV are not officially supported so it may or may not work (for supported devices see: http://tversity.com/support/devices/). I am assuming the TV is DLNA capable is this right?

Assuming this is the case please follow the steps at:

I installed Screen Server 1.1 in my amd x64 laptop which has Windows 8.
I opened my smart tv and through the menus i chose media server then TVersityScreenServer (yes my tv recognized the dlna server) and then Screen mirroring. I have both laptop and tv in the same wifi network,
Also, my laptop, recognized the smart tv, in network devices. But, when i open the Screen Server, under Devices section, my tv does not appear there. It recognizes a PS3 device, which i dont have, maybe from neighbors network. Finally, the tv gives an error saying: unable to read the file. Thank you for your help, anyway.!

As I said Panasonic TVs are not supported so it basically gets identified as a PS3. Furthermore form what you describe it sounds like the TV does not like the video format TVersity delivers to PS3. You can try going to the settings page and selecting a device that may be more similar to your TV.

From the list of formats the TV supports (see http://cdn.cnetcontent.com/01/2d/012daffe-a731-445f-b363-d994d577ae32.pdf) I would try a Sony Bravia TV and if it does not work an Xbox 360 or a Roku. One of them should work. After each device change, make sure you hit save and then restart the TV or else it won't tale effect.
