Missing Media Files (mp4)

Post by GatorNutz » Mon Mar 23, 2009 9:50 pm

I am trying to stream home movies (in MP4) from my HP MediaSmart EX487 (with Twonky v5) to my PS3. Oddly, smaller files show up on the menu of videos to play on the PS3 from Twonky, but larger MP4 files are missing (and these aren't very large). A 25MB MP4 is listed and streams fine, but a 460MB file that is also in the MediaSmart "Videos" share is not. I rebuilt the Twonky database using the console, but still no luck.

Also, I have noticed that the files do not appear in the Twonky listing using Windows Media Player on my laptop either. So, I think it's a matter of Twonky not adding the "larger" MP4 to its database, and therefore not listing the files to the various Media clients.

Is there a file-size limitation with Twonky?
Any other thoughts?

Thanks,

Rick

bump

An update...a 2GB avi shows up on the list of videos, but still no MP4s over about 100MB.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

GSpot says it's an mp4 v2 container with mp4v video codec
