Twonky Forum

I am very new to the whole medi clien/server thing. Though I do have general computing understanding.

I have enabled TwonkeyMedia server Version 4.4.17 on my Verbatim 1TB NAS. I have included in my media location a .ts file (MPEG-2?). I have Win 7 Pro and WMP 12. I can play an instance of this file on my local drive and I can also play the the media server's instance of it but only through the file server (ie in win explorer network folder). As soon as I try to play it through the library presented in wmp for the remote server, it is all presented nicely, but will not play. The error says I don't have the right codec.

I am not familiar with the manner in which the media file data stream is served up to the client, but clearly something is a little different to the manner in which the file server operates. Having said this wmp seems to expect to decode the data (hence it trying to find the right codec and failing), in which case I would have thought an mpeg-2 data stream was being served up to the client and if so then why not the exact one that's in the file and if that also then why cant it decode and play it just like it can through the file server.

As a newbie, I'd be grateful of a bit of a help with my understanding here, so I can begin to find a possible solution.

Any help or advice greatly appreciated.

Just a note to add here.

If I look at the file properties in the twonkey library presented on WMP I can it shows an http url using port 9000 and an internal name for the file with a ts extension.

If I try to use this url in a browser (internet explorer , it actually attempts to download the file, but in the case of the mp4 file it straight away opens wmp 12.

Not sure if this information is useful, but I'm beginning to wonder if this might not be some kind of configuration problem, but so far I cannot seem to find what configuration exactly.
