Twonky Forum

Hello together,

after searching one hour in the web without finding any solution for my problem I would like to ask some twonky experts in this board. I am using twonky on my Macbook Pro (OSX 10.6) in combination with my Samsung C750. Everything works well except the transcoding option.

I can just enable / disable JPEG transcoding. Music and Video transcoding is not available and I dont know why. Does anyone have an idea?

Best regards,
Andy

I am experiencing the exact same problem.
Here you have my details:
TwonkyMedia version: 6.0.32
Server hardware: Intel Atom 330, 1Gb RAM
Operating System: Windows Server 2008 R2
If you are running as a system service (Windows only): Yes

You need to install a third-party transcoding engine before this option is un-grayed.

Mac Transcoding Tips:

This is how we got TwonkyServer on the Mac to work with FFmpeg:

1. Download and open the ffmpegX.dmg from the web
2. Drag the ffmpegX (app) to the Applications folder
3. Right click or CTRL+click on the TwonkyMediaServer app in Applications folder
4. Select Show Package Contents from dropdown menu
5. Navigate to the .../TwonkyMediaServer.app/MediaServer/cgi-bin
6. Open the ffmpeg.location file with a text editor
7. Modify the content of the file to read "/Applications/ffmpegX.app/Contents/Resources/" (without quotes) and save
8. After restarting TMS will the options to transcode be available in TMS's configuration page

If this is too hard for you to setup, you might want to upgrade to TwonkyServer 7.0 which will have transcoding built-in.
