Twonky Forum

Yes, I am very disappointed that no one has responded. It's as if there was no interest

Good luck to you! If you try one of the versions I'm too chicken to try, let me know which works,please Thanks in advance!

Did you set up your Media Server or your DLNA device in a special way or did you just enabled the services? Nope, I just renamed my media directories to the Synology standards and enabled the Media Server. I don't use any of the stuff like Audio Station or Photo Station. All of my DLNA clients see ...

I don't know! I am using the Synology media server on my DS411+II, and it works well. No problems like the ones I had years ago.

Daphne

I am considering upgrading my current NAS to the Synology DS411+ii which has an Intel Atom D525 1.8GHz x86 Processor 64-bit. It's been easy figuring out which Twonky NAS build to use till now because it is named after the model I have. I see that there are a couple of Linux x86 builds, but I have no...

Thanks for the new version! I watch a lot of videos over TwonkyServer, and sometimes hiccups have occurred in the last couple of versions. Unfortunately, it happens with this one, as well: after I have watched a few episodes of whatever series I am watching at the time, the video plays 30 minutes o...

Same issue here, whatever I try I can't get FLAC transcoding to work. Wasn't a big problem until I got a Samsung LCD with nuilt in DLNA client. It's quite a decent media player, but it doesn't support FLAC. ... I'm sorry for butting in this way, but I simply have to ask: why do you want to play aud...

It is probably doing a rescan and not rebulding the database. Does this happen all of the time or just sometimes? If it's possible for you to send us a test file. That could save us a lot of time trying to reproduce this. ... - Rick Rick, I have been watching the behavior of my TwonkyServer. At eve...

Today, I have installed the latest Twonky Server 6.0.32 on my Synology DS211+ NAS (Kirkwood processor) and media server is no longer accessible from all my DLNA players. Before that, I had version 6.0.32 and everything worked fine,... Hi there! As a start, you may want to correct the version that w...

My Philips TV can only play XVid/DivX Videos in an AVI container. Are you sure you are trying to play formats that your TV can handle?

hans, I think I love you!!!! Thank you so much for your post.... IT WORKS!!!! I have a newish Panasonic Lumix camera which has 10 megspixels and makes photos that weren't being streamed by TwonkServer V4.4.17. Perhaps they were too large. So I took a deep breath and upgraded to TwonkyServer 6.0.26 t...

Greetings! I would like to include a directory on my PC to the directories that TwonkyServer parses on my Linux NAS (Synology 107+). I think my intensive 20 year-old UNIX experience has fled my brain. I simply don't know how to reference the directory on the PC. Help?!? Thank you in advance! Daphne ...

Oh yes! I would love to have access to such technical docs. I am frustrated trying to get "weird" stuff to stream...

As I stated above, I don't have the problem with TwonkyServer 4.4.17. Though I am curious about newer versions, I am sticking to this version according to the premise: "Never touch a running system."

Good luck!
Daphne

I am sad that this issue has not yet been solved. I use V 4.4.17 on my Synology 107+ NAS. I was just considering putting in the work to update both firmware and TMS on the NAS but thankfully checked in here beforehand. I think I'll leave things as they are. It works wonderfully.

Daphne

Thank you both for posting! I have been thinking the wntire time that I was reporting an issue that was of no general interest. As long as TMS 4.4.x runs correctly, I am more or less satisfied. It would be nice to be able to use TMM to make slide shows out of my many photos, but I will find another ...

Bernard, The Philips Photo Frame goes to standby at midnight - as I have set it up to do - and turns itself on at 6 am - also according to plan. It connects and shows photos - also as it should! I'm very happy with it. That said, it does NOT connect to - or even see - TwonkyMediaServer version 5. I ...

<waving> Hey, Rick! I still have those files you requested and still don't know where to send them. Still interested? I know I am!

Daphne

Last Christmas I configured the Philips photo frame 8ff3wmi as present for my mother. During the test runs at my home it connected to my Twonky installations without any issues. Also navigation and photo shows were straight forward with acceptable change times. Same here! The only issue with the ph...

Rick, I did part of what you asked and captured the data streams between TMS 5.0.61 and my TV. I also captured data going to my Denon S-302 and tried to do the same with my Philips digital picture frame. The network and problem description are in the ZIP as a txt file. I can't see TMS 5.0.61 on the ...

If you're a really technical person, there is something you can do to help us fix this issue:

I'm no longer a "really technical person" because 10 years ago I became a manager . I'm fearless, though.

I'll do it today and post/send the results.

I've got TMS 4.4.11 running on a qnap ts-109 serving media files to a Denon AVR-3808. MP3's work okay (they play, but Twonky just won't read the artist tag properly -- but I've given up on this). But, I can't get any video files to play -- I've tried MP4 and WMV From the 3808 I see the video files ...

I've also been struggling/messing with Twonky on my 107+ and had success with version 4.4.11. Worked just fine. I've just upgraded to 4.4.14 and will see how it goes. All version 5's don't work for me, as I have some photo issues. If you want to deinstall the version you are currently running to ins...

I find this sentence very entertaining, seeing as this post is in the "Twonky Media Server" section of the forum.

On 5.0.46, I had to rebuild the database several times and then had only the thumbnails shown on the DMP/DMR. In order to stream my photos correctly, I had to install 4.4.11 and delete all of the @eaDir directories that were created in each directory of photos. This was frustrating, but now I can vi...

HA! It's a bug in Version 5.0.

I installed version 4.4.11 on my NAS and voila! Correctly sized and scaled pictures on both the Philips TV and the Denon S302.

Better fix this soon.

Whooppee! I can view my pictures now!

Daphne

Now I have read my NAS-based media files into the PC-based TwonkyMedia Server 5.0.45, created the database 3 times (it still doesn't seem right, so it is presently recreating a fourth time) and tested how pictures stream to both my TV and to the Denon DMR. Exactly the same happens from both servers ...

Interesting new development. When I use my Denon S-302 to stream photos to my TV, they are the right size, but they are also incredibly pixely, as if thumbnails were being expanded to fit the screen. Now, Denon is a partner of Twonky, right? And this should work on a Denon DMR? Help?! I am currently...

I also have issues with picture scaling. I played around a bit with the clients.db file and the transcoding settings. After all most pictures are now scaled correctly to almost full screen. But some pictures with lower resolution or lower height / width are still not scaled and are shown as minatur...

I'm looking forward to any answers you get. I have the 37" version of your TV and have been really pleased with it. TMS 5.0.46 connects with the TV well (I don't have your problem there), but I can't watch the YouTube videos. My DivX/XViD videos stream just fine, fortunately. It would be fun to be a...

I don't think that thumbnails are being sent. My first digital camera always made them, but I have long deleted them. I went through the directories when I moved my files to the NAS last week and deleted everything that looked "generated". If, as in your example, thumbnails had different names, then...

I have just installed TwonkyMedia Server 5.0.46 on my Synology 107+ NAS and solved the problem I had streaming photos to my Philips DigitalFrame (WiFi). TwonkyMedia also streams our XVid Videos perfectly to my TV (Philips 37PF9731D/10). I can play music files on my Denon S-302. So far so good! But.....
