Media Browser Problem

[HumanShield]

I am a new user, looking to convert into a customer... if only I could get this to work. I'm running Twonky on my Linux home file server running CentOS x64. I have a DirecTV HR-20 DVR that in the end I'd like to get working with it.

When browsing for media in the web interface, I can see my music arranged by artist and album, and after drilling in, I wind up with a path like: http://192.168.16.136:9000/webbrowse/O0$1$10$28$35$26 but I can never actually see a file. It doesn't matter which folder I look at. I have enabled logging, and see the request:

Code: Select all

21:29:00:345 LOG_SYSTEM: upnp_database_read_reference: could not create RefID for property.

21:29:00:345 LOG_SYSTEM: upnp_database_read_reference: could not create RefID for property.

It seems like it outputs this could not create RefID message for every song that should display. I can see the same category structure on my HR-20, but when trying to view a folder with music, I get an error "Unable to access media. ."

Should the web interface be showing my actual media? I get blank outputs for both music and pictures. If so, does the log mean anything to you? Finally, any ideas on why I can only get so far on the HR-20?

Thanks in advance!

I wonder if you got your problem solved. If so, please post. I'm encountering the same problem now. I'm sort of assuming there may be some permissions problems with my install, but I haven't traced the problem so far.

If I figure out the problem, I'll post an answer.

Unfortunately I never did figure it out. Online support requests didn't receive an answer, no one seemed to know here, my trial period expired, and even though I figured out how to reset it, Twonky wasn't willing to help, so I said screw it.

If you're on Linux, check out mediatomb http://mediatomb.cc/ it's running great for my needs right now. If you give it a shot, check out their Wiki on transcoding and probably upgrade to the latest source version. It's much more flexible in getting it to work.
