Videos won't play

Post by josephny » Sun Apr 12, 2009 7:00 pm

I've got TMS 4.4.11 running on a qnap ts-109 serving media files to a Denon AVR-3808.

MP3's work okay (they play, but Twonky just won't read the artist tag properly -- but I've given up on this).

But, I can't get any video files to play -- I've tried MP4 and WMV

From the 3808 I see the video files listed, but when I try to play them it displays "--empty--"

Also, when initially choosing Music Videos or Pictures, Videos and Pictures has "(not play)" after them.

I've been pulling my hair out since getting the Qnap/Twonky and would really like to be able to watch my videos.

Any help available?

Thank you,

Joseph

I have a Denon S-302 that will show streamed photos and music but no videos. Wierd for a DVD Entertainment System, but that's the way it goes.

So, I took a look at the specifications on your Denon AVR-3808. It says the following: "Streams MP3, WMA, AAC, FLAC und WAV-Audio-Files." It seems to not play video streams, just like my S-302. This isn't a Twonky problem.
