Twonky Forum

Hi!
WMP11 seems to work automatically great with Twonky UPNP AV, but WMP11 uses a "featuring artist"(ger:"mitwirkender interpret") information instead of the normal "artist" information, so the track-information is always unknown for artist, which sucks..
locally I found out that WMP11 seems to us the %band-mp3tag-variable, which Twonky doesn't serv, is there a posibility to let twonky do that?
Or how to fix WMP?

Thanks

Same problem here. I am also desperately looking for a solution

I think you need to set the "Album Artist" tag in your media files.

This tag is already set. When I add the files from the server's share to the WM11 library everything looks fine in WM11. But streaming from Twonky always says "unknown" to the contributing artist.

Use a decent Media Manager like MediaMonky to set your tags correctly instead of that Micro$oft POS....

Well, I am using Mp3tag for all MP3 purposes. And all tags are set correctly (no probs using the files from my server's share)

Only when I try to stream the share using Twonky it becomes crappy. Maybe I should switch back to firefly where everything was fine. Unfortunately firefly has no upnp support...

Exactly the same

At least Firefly is free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do you get the music to STREAM (instead of copy) in WMP11? When I open http://serverip:9000/webbrowse and click a music file, it copies, opens and plays in WMP11 but where in WMP11 can I point to my TwonkeyMedia server and STREAM the music.

Sorry for being an ignorant Twonkey & WMP11 "newb"

It only works under Vista and there you should find your Twonky under Network as WindowsMediaConnect

I'm sorry I am such a "ditz" but under Options/Network in WMP11, what do I do?

No, The Windows Vista Network Environment. Windows-Symbol in Taskbar -> Network
