Twonky Forum

Thanks! I'll try it again and see what I can do...

Come on people, let's get this working.

Just curious to know if it is planned. Will we see it in Twonky? Tversity has it (not very efficient though) and Nero Media Home has it (a little flimsy). For the PS3 and the 360, this would be invaluable.

How did it go mgillespie?

Bump!

I'm having this problem from time to time and I've found that simply moving the playlists from their current folder and rescanning the content directories will get Twonky to include them in the share again (oddly enough!).

Try it... see if it helps.

Hmmm. I managed to solve this. Twonky can find my playlists when they are stored under: D:\Music\Mp3\Playlists But not when they are stored under: D:\Music\Mp3\Playlists\Subfolder\Subfolder Very odd. I thought the directory structure and placement of the playlists had nothing to do with it. I though...

I'd like to try this but I can't quite figure out how to do it. I've put the "vlc.import.playlists" file in the DB-directory and set up VLC to stream the selected video file via HTTP to port 8080. How/Where do I access this stream on the PS3? Obviously there is something else I need to do. Would you...

warp33,

I'm streaming from a PC to my PS3, and I think this problem surfaced with version 4.4 Beta 5. No clue what's causing it. Twonky used to find my playlists automatically and share them.

Any news on this? I miss my playlists!

Twonky won't be able to transcode the material on the fly, but you could recode it manually and them stream it using Twonky.

Okay, then I'm not missing out on anything! Thanks.

Yeah, I'm also having this problem.

Hey! I recently registered Twonky and I love it so far. :) However, I'm having some problems with access rights and during install Twonky is not able to create the necessary directories under: \Application Data\ I'm solving this by creating the directories manually, so could someone please give me t...

How does Twonky share and stream playlists to the PS3? Since I upgraded to 4.4 Beta 5 none of my playlists (.m3u) are included in the Playlist dir. I tried sharing my Playlist folder (on my computer) as a separate folder instead of letting Twonky find the playlists, but it's not included in the shar...

Well. I created the twonkymedia.db directory under Application Data/TwonkyMedia and now the database is being stored. Yay!

So, all's fine now, but how come TwonkyVision itself can't create these directories? I've checked my user rights, and they are set to "Computer Administrator".

Can someone please give me the complete subdirectory listing of:

Application Data/TwonkyMedia/

For some reason it seems, like Christian pointed out, that TwonkyVision is not able to create this directory.

How can I fix it?

Okay, I manually created the directory TwonkyMedia under Application Data and now the configuration changes are stored properly! BUT... The shared media database is not saved. If I restart the server after the database build has been completed, it is being rebuilt from scratch again. Similar problem?

I'm running as administrator. I'll try creating the directory manually and see what happens.

Sorry for creating a new thread, but I really need some attention to this problem as I've tried everything (even reinstalling Windows!). The problem is that TwonkyVision 4.4 Beta 4/5 won't save the configuration changes I make. No problem with 4.4 Beta 3 and previous versions. I have no clue what's ...

Okay, I reinstalled Windows (clean format from scratch) and tried again with version 4.4 beta 4, but it still doesn't save any changes I make! How odd is that? 4.3 works fine. File access problem? But why only with beta 4?

4.4 Beta 4 doesn't work for me, and until I find out what's wrong I'd like to run 4.4 Beta 3. Where can I get it?

I have the same problem in Windows XP. I have no clue what's causing it.

Weird problem. Since I installed Beta 4, the configuration page is ignoring any changes I make. As soon as I restart the server, everything is back to the default settings. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program, but no luck. Anyone? Anyone? My trial is running out, and I'm definitely...

So, what exactly is needed to get album art working? Folder.jpg in the music album folder or direct implementation of album art in the music files?

Will either of these methods work?

Anyone else spotted anything else new?

Nice. How does this work? Where is the image representing the album art taken from? Do I just put a .jpg file in the album folder?

Nice! Navigating is now possible in MPEG2 files.

Keep up the good work!

I can't stream .png files (even though they are natively supported by the PS3). Anyone else?

I tried this, and the resulting MP4 file plays back nicely on my PC, but when I stream it to the PS3 all I get is sound, no video.

Yes, MP4 works nicely.

Yes, please make it possible to remove the All-tags. Also... here is something I really think should be fixed. Let's say I want to add a directory to the share, for example: D:\Music\Mp3\Blub\ This directory contains a number of files... a.mp3 b.mp3 c.mp3 I add the directory to the share and set it ...

Anyone tried wave files? I couldn't get the ones I tried to play, but I've recorded those myself... though I think they are regular Windos PCM wave files.

Just a note. The PS3 won't read mpeg files with the .mpeg extension. They must be named .mpg for the PS3 to recognize them over TwonkyVision (same with local files I guess). I didn't realize this and thought it had something to do with the encoding of the video.

Is anyone else able to navigate in streamed video files?

I can't seem to navigate in streamed video files. I can hit L1 to go to the beginning, but that's it. The menu icons for FF/REW are greyed out. Should this be possible?

Cool! When can we expect transcoding? Is it very far off?
