AV Hardware:I moved from two Thecus Servers (N3200Pro & N4100Pro) to a N5200XXX. I had not use Twonky before even though I have run two WHS.

Your product came with the server so I tried it. I wished I had started to use it a lot earlier. The version that came with the machine is v2.0.1. Do I need a newer version? The reason I am asking I cannot fast forward on my Sony Bu-Ray Payers BDP-BX58 on some Meg2 videos converted by by AVS Video Converter 8 seems to be problem. Older version 7 seem ok as does Roxio.

Any help would be appreciated.

The Thecus N5200XXX has 5 3TB drives.
2 HP EX490 WHS
Thecus N3200Pro 3 2TB Drives
Thecus N4100Pro 4 2TB Drives
All computers are Windows 7 64bit
5 Sony Bu-Ray Players BDP-BX58
Network is mostly wired with notebooks wireless

Your product came with the server so I tried it. It works very well. The version that came with the machine is v2.0.1. Do I need a newer version? The reason I am asking I cannot fast forward on my Sony Bu-Ray Payers BDP-BX58 on some Meg2 videos converted by by AVS Video Converter 8 seems to be problem. Older version 7 seem ok as does Roxio.

Use MediaInfo (download here- http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en) to analyze your files. Post the text output for a file that works as you want and one that does not work.

Also, v2.0.1 of Twonky is unlikely unless you have a very, very old version. To find the actual Twonky version use your web browser to display the Twonky config page (http://<IP address of your NAS>:9000/config). Post the version number you find on that page.
