Sorry...I've given up on DLNA in general - it's just not ready for prime time. DLNA servers need to be able to transcode anything-to-anything reliably without much configuration effort, if any at all. Plus, clients shouldn't be so limiting in what formats they'll accept. I picked up another WD TV Li...

well why didn't you say so before!?!?!?! hahaha...just kidding v5.x sounds promising, though. i'll give that a shot and the windows v6 in wine, too. I can't believe the amount of work I've put in over this. I bought the bluray player specifically because it advertised the ability to play stuff off a...

I do have everything running as root, which I don't particularly like, and I've removed the "-D" as one thread suggests is required to allow transcoding to work, though, I really do want the dlna server to run as a proper background service so I consider that to be a fairly significant bug if it rea...

or leftover candy canes in my case... i had tried the TR+TP / no MT lines, as well as TR only configs before...no luck. twonkyserver can definitely run the linux flac program to decode flac files (requires good flac-wav.desc and flac.location files, plus a new WAV=WAV entry in transcoding.db). it's ...

Interesting...so using MT:flac audio/wav does make the audio files show up as wave on the client but unfortunately, both ipad clients see through the lie - when I select any of them the clients still give the "can't play flac" error. My guess is that either the file extension or some flac file heade...

No luck, unfortunately. My main goal is to get a Sony BD-S570 Blu-Ray player to work but since it's so far away from my computer I've been testing against two DLNA clients on an iPad: eyecon and MediaFusion. I've tried every combination of the following in clients.db: TR:FLAC versus TR:WAV Including...

The links provided don't have any info on clients.db, so I'm still uncertain about what's wrong there...

transcoding.db and my .desc and .location files would seem to be in good shape, though.

thanks for the info! Ok, so first off it answers my transcoding.db question right away: transcoding.db describes the target media types - after any transcoding is done. I'll try to read it more thoroughly to see if it can't lead me to some greater detail on the MT and TR (and ??) triggers in clients...

I've followed the instructions here: http://www.twonkyforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=7258#p26801 I've also set all files in cgi-bin and plugins to execute-enable (chmod +x) But on 3 different clients I see the mime type show up as audio/x-flac and then selecting an item just says that it can't be pl...

OK. I reinstalled TwonkyServer and mimicked the workaround of the two linux boxes down to just one. Twonky won't recognize /library as a source but will recognize /home/phil/Music/library->(symlink)->/library as one. I still can't get the transcoding to work. As far as I can tell, I've had FLAC->WAV...

I have a Suse file server hosting ~500GB of FLAC audio and ~2TB of ISO video. I want to be able to access these on a Sony Blu-Ray player and an iPad. I've been spoiled by how perfectly well my WD TV Live Plus can effortlessly browse a Samba share and simply play everything I have, DVD menus included...
