Can't play files from Twonky using VLC
Posted: Sun Mar 06, 2011 4:44 pm
Hi,
I'm a n00b but that's why i'm here. So any help will be much appreciated. I used to be an Twonky server 30 day trial and everything worked fine for me. NOw when I licensed it i have problems .go figure:)
The thing is. I have Twonky server installled on my Windows Server and I used to watch content on my Panasonic Viera and my notebook using VLC. I played content on my PC by opening windows media player which detected the Twonky server, the i navigated to a file i want ed to watch and right clicked on properties to see the location of the file which I then opened in VLC and that worked perfect. The location was usually something like this
http://192.168.1.200:9000/disk/DLNA-PNA ... AAMQAwAF0A
Now things have somehow changed and when i right click the video properties in windows media player i get a "strange" location which VLC doesn't recognize so I can't play it. This is the URL belov..notice the dlna-playsingle thing..

Why is that? Why can't I get the usual 192.168.... location which my VLC would recognize?
