Twonky Forum

Yep, saw that AFTER I posted the last reply. No EDIT in these forums it seems otherwise I would have changed it. Still, seems to me that #3 and #5 in the Sony manual kinda contradict each other. The odd thing is that the video "starts" to play and then hangs up. Hopefully, Sony will have some sort o...

Doesn't P77 state "The system plays AVCHD-format files that are recorded via a digital video camera, etc. To watch AVCHD-format files, the disc". See #3.

Ah, OK....managed to get it working mostly. Music OK, JPGs OK. Video (AVCHD starts to work, then says audio format not supported then the video hangs). Big improvement, not sure why AVCHD is funky (it is a new Sony camera/camcorder).

OK, so now I have indexed 21,063 photos, 4,946 MP3s and 490 videos. When I look at the Sony media receiver upstairs, I see a different icon (not the blue and white TM one) and it says "server is starting up, this may take a few minutes" then the server fails to start. So, I am obviously getting furt...

OK, so I see that I can NEXT at the license enter and put that in later.......On the configuration screen during the install, it shows me 4 locations for Music, video and pictures. My wife and I keep those separate, so would need 6 locations to point to. I hope that by firing up the web browser inte...

Hi Rick,

OK, I'll check that out.

But, based on current problems I have seen with the Twonky version that I currently have...do I need to spend the $20 just to see whether it works?

OR can I check it out and pay the license fee if it works OK? i.e. eval period of x days?

Thanks,

Kevin

Thanks Rick, However, I do NOT see Twonky as an addin (although it certainly runs and does the file indexing. Is there a manual method of removing an old version of Twonky before installing V6.0.37? I do see a Twonky directory with all the Twonky files on the C:\TwonkyMedia on the MSS C: drive. Rega...

On the "Buy It" page, it suggests buying Twonky Manager (which includes the Server). Is this also true for use on the HP MSS? (EX-495).

Thanks,

Kevin

Thanks for the reply.

Two of the formats "supported" by the Sony on P77 are JPG and MP3s (of which I have plenty supposedly indexed by Twonky on the MSS). I'll have to check on the latest version of Twonky that you mentioned. I assume that is it is OK to run on the HP MSS?

My bad, I can browse to my own folders. I deleted the "standard" ones and added my own folders back in again (obviously reset during my "default" mouse click. I tried setting the MSS to the same 4 Twonky types again for the MSS, results below: TwonkyMedia Manager TwonkyMedia NMC TwonkyMedia Player T...

So, I changed the HP MSS "description" to the following: TwonkyMedia Manager TwonkyMedia NMC TwonkyMedia Player TwonkyMedia Renderer None of these made any difference, I still get the same error message on the Sony DLNA Receiver. The Sony Rreceiver does see the server and shows up as a blue and whit...

When looking at the settings in the HP Mediasmart Server (MSS), I see the MAC address for my HP MSS described as "Generic Media Receiver". I do not see an entry for HP MSS or similar. What should the "type" be for the HP MSS server? It would seem that Media Receiver" is not correct?

Regards,

Kevin

I tried assigning the types below top the MAC address under "Media Receiver" in the Media Server settings on the HP MSS server this morning: Generic DLNA 1.0 Generic Media Receiver Generic Music Only Receiver Sony Bravia Sony CPF-IX001 Sony KDL-26J3000 Sony MR100 Sony NAS-CZ1 Sony NetJuke Sony Netwo...

It came up as "Generic Media Receiver", I tried "Sony Bravia", Sony Network Media Receiver".

Have you any thoughts of which others to try as there a lot of "other" choices.

I don't think I tried "Generic DLNA 1.0"

I am running the above hardware with Twonky V5.1.2 media server. I can see Twonky index my MP3s, JPGs, AVIs etc on the EX-495 hard drives and this is visible in the EX-495 displays. I can see my server from the Sony receiver but when selected on the receiver, I get a message like "File not available...
