Twonky Forum

Hi,

first, i like TwonkyVision. It's a great tool and the only way to distrubute large contents on music on a Noxon1. The feature to group by alphabeth is great.

but, since I have a dsm-320 streaming client, I have big problems while streaming videos.
I use the following configuration:

- TwonkyMedia-Server 4.4
- Windows 2003 Server SBE (Athlon 3500+)
- Network: Powerline Zyxel PLA-400
- Streaming Media: DivX (~ 300Kb/s), Nero Recode (~ 200Kb/s), vob (>5000Kb/s)

The stream seems not to by very stable. I have many drops while playing the movies.
What can I change to have a movie without any drops?

(btw. It's not a problem of the network. I can play movies on a laptop using WMP and a windows share (ok it's tcp connect not udp) and also the streaming over the TV***y Mediaserver is absolute stable (but I don't like the stupide structure of TV***Y)).

Any ideas?

Thanks

Regards Heuby

Try changing the Streaming Buffer Size in the config pages. I think the default is 128000, and values entered should be multiples of 16000. On my wired network I had to go right down to a buffer of 16000 to get stable video.

Hi,

thank you for the idea. But it seems not to help. I have test all values between 16000 and 128000, no change to get a video without drop's.

Dude,

Its a twonky bug in version 4.2-4.4

Install 4.4.3 beta 1 (4.4.3b1). This resolves that bug.

Hi,

got same problem - even after update to 4.4.3 beta1- try with my XP and NAS (Maxtore Shared StorageII & Buffalo Linkstation Live) while streaming DivX (~ 1600Kb/s), stuttering and dropouts...
Try also other "Streaming Buffer size" settings...no effect. It's not a problem of the network; all other videofiles streaming fine...with larger size ( ~5000Kb/s)! They're playing verry well....

Do I still have to buy a divX / XviD player ?
