Hello,

I have same problem on OSX with Twonky Server 5.1.2.!

So I'm curious about the solution too, because I don't want to convert all my MKVs to other supported video format.

Regards,
Peter

Hi,

i'm from germany so, sorry for my english.

I had the same problem but i fixed it today.

1. You have to search in your twony install-directory (..\TwonkyMedia\resources\) for a file named "clients.db".

2. Open it with an editor.

3. Search for a line called "Samsung TV"

4. Replace the lines with

Code: Select all

NA:Samsung TV
DD:Samsung HDTV
XM:DLNA15
XM:DATETIME
XM:FORCE_DURATION
XM:FORCE_4TH_FIELD
HP:chunked
MT:mpeg,mpeg2,vdr,spts,tp,ts,avi,divx,mkv video/mpeg
MT:m4a audio/mp4
AV:no-m3u
DB:FIX

This should help ...

Worked for me as well!

Thanks! You are my personal hero

Hello,

Thanks for the tip. My TV can play the MKV files now with the CLIENTS.DB changes. I have only one issue yet: the fast forward doesn't work. If I do FF the video playing restart from the beginning.

Peter

PS: Don't worry for your English, it's better as mine!

Hi, my egreat EG-M34H cant play list out MKV as well.. Pls help ..
Which section under client.db should i modify

[gianper]

Hi All

all works fine for me only if I rename the MKV files to MPG:
Now, almost all file is opened by my Samsung Led using network... but someone no. If I open the same files using usb directly all files is opened.
How can I verify wich is the problem for "not supported" file ?
And... how can I Fast forward and Rew the movies ?

Hello myjpkl,

Sorry for the late reply. So, I simple copied the description above to the clients.db. After you restart the server need to change the receiver type in the Media Receivers menu.

I hope this is help to you,
Regards,
Peter

The samsung entry in my clients.db file doesn't look like the example. How do I add .mkv to mine?

Hello Mr.Shaky,

I simple created a new entry in the clients.db . You can do this with copy the lines below to the file. After restart the server, you can chose this type in the Media Receivers settings pane.

Regards,
Peter
