TwonkyMedia 4.4 Web Access allows downloading of files.

Post by davwick1 » Thu Aug 02, 2007 11:50 pm

I noticed that if i right click and select save as from the Web Access app it saves a local copy of the file that is selected.

For me this isn't desirable as the temptation for my family is to download and not to stream the file (lots of copies) as it even names the file in a friendly way.

Unless i am not quite understanding it looks like the Web Browser/access doesn't stream anymore, it looks like it just downloads the whole file into the media players cache and plays it from there.

Is this an option that can be turned back to what i think we had before, true Streaming?

Overall i do like the other enhancements to the Web Access app.

In HTTP download or streaming is always a client option - no difference here on the server side
