Album art / EXIF / Video etc

Post by sroensbe » Mon Jul 25, 2011 9:20 pm

Sorry if this is newbee questions, but I have tried to search the forum first.

1) I see only album art at "song" level - not at album level - how to fix ?

2) Photos are not rotated automatically and EXIF data not shown (I know EXIF data exist as I can see it with other media servers) - how to fix ?

3) When I play a MP4 video I get the possibility to "move forward" in the movie but this is not possible for AVI videos ?

4) Is it possible to make the videos full screen ? and if yes how ?

Thx in advance
Steen

Answers to all your questions depend upon the media player device you are using. So what media player are you using?

Twonky server is just that, a media server. It allows media players to browse for media content and stream the content. It has very little control over what you see on your media player.

Hi

Thx for the fast reply

I'm a bit confused - ex for the first two points I see this using Chrome webbrowser starting the flash version of the twonky browser.

For the latter two - they are also started from the flash version of the twonky browser but might invoke a mediaplayer - I don't know that as they behave differently depending on what kind of video I play

Regards
Steen

Seems you are trying to use the Web interface. The Web interface is pretty rudimentary and not the primary purpose of this software

Twonky server's main purpose is to stream media to networked media players. It works fairly well performing this function.
