Detecting video file formats for Xbox 360
Posted: Wed Dec 05, 2007 9:51 am
How does Twonky decide if a file is suitable as a valid video format for the end client, in particular for the Xbox 360.
Now that the 360 supports DivX/Xvid, yay
, I started going through my collection to test some out. Everything worked well except for one file which didn't appear in the list of available videos - seems it's an AVI but was annoyingly named as ".MPEG", so I renamed it and it worked.
Does Twonky interrogate the files properly or does it rely just on the extension? If the latter, is there a way to tell Twonky to also include other formats even though it by default they aren't playable on the client, and let me worry about it.
