Re: Upgrade from 4.4.3.1 to 6.0
I used to run a 4.x on a NAS, and recently "upgraded" to 6.0 running on a linux server - I put "upgraded" in quotes, since several configuration options are removed, and the product overall seems less capable and less stable. My recommendation is to stay with 4.x at this point, and then come back wh...

Hi My TwonkyServer hangs during startup at 100% CPU if I require it to use FFMPEG to transcode to AAC/MP4. I found that the version of FFMPEG that ships with Ubuntu 10.4 is broken, and instead I have downloaded the source from SVN and compiled from scratch. Now I am having the issue that if the file...

Re: A few questions before I buy!
For streaming media to a PS3 (and other machines..) I would suggest that you at least contemplate putting Twonky and your media on a smaller machine, consuming less power than a full-fledged computer.Darth Maniac wrote:For info - I am running a P4 2.8Ghz, 1 gig ram and Windows XP.
