Twonky Forum

Hi,

This is my first post

I've had a SnaZio SZ-1350 networked DVD player for over a year and have used various UPnP servers (the SnaZio bundled one, wizdXP, something else I can't remember the name of...) on a PC to stream to it, with wizdXP the one I've used most. Most of my music is in FLAC format.

I've just bought a QNAP TS-209 NAS which comes bundled with the Twonky Media Server, with the latest firmware installed having 4.4.4.

But, having transferred all my media files to the QNAP NAS, I can't see any of the FLAC files on the 1350. I can navigate down the music structure, by Album/Artist/Folder etc. and that all displays ok, but when I get to where the tracks should be, all I get is the message 'No content found.'

I made a folder with a FLAC file, an MP3 file and a WAV file, and did a rescan. The only file that shows up and can be played is the MP3 one

I've tried the same thing with the 4.4.4i WindowsXP version of Twonky- got exactly the same result.


So... has any one streamed native FLAC using Twonky? (Note I am not wanting to transcode from FLAC.)

Or does Twonky only stream MP3?


Thanks in advance for any help.

Ivan.

Note: the actual formats supported depend on the individual client devices. The current version of TwonkyMedia does not provide transcoding functionality (5.0 Beta provides this)

I see. I've tried manually changing the client type on the Twonky conifg Clients/Security page. I can get both WAV and MP3 to show up depending on which client type I choose. But haven't found which client(s) in the list support FLAC

Does anyone know?

Or is there an override that will allow any file to be streamed?

Cheers,
Ivan.

You can modify the clients.db file which is in the resources directory to pass throug what you want.

This will take a bit of study and trial and error though.

I had to something similar for my Ziova/Zensonic clients quite a while ago.
