Playstation 3 streaming DivX Files
I'd like to stream my DivX Movies to the Playstation 3 via Twonky Media Server.
I can see the files but they are shown as "Incompatible Files" or "Corrupt Files" dont know the right words for it, cause i use Twonky in German and my Playstation 3 in the german language. However I tried to figure out if Twonky can Stream these files to my Playstation

I can confirm the above...
Got a Xvid file which plays fine on PS3 from a SD card but is "unsupported" when access thru Twonky
Hope for a quick fix soon... and also for the NAS distributon since I'm using Twonky on my Synology NAS unit !!!
EDIT: I'm using TwonkyMedia 4.4

PS3 now officially supports DivX
As of update 2.10 (released today) the PS3 now officially supports DivX movie files, however all mine still say "Unsupported Data". Anyone know why?

twonky on lacie ethernet disk mini
Hi b00ze,b00ze wrote:I can confirm this for the "LaCie Ethernet Disk mini" ... they are still running an very very old version of the twonky-server that cant even play the h.264 files ... i guess its the twonky-state of 4.2 or before.
I can also confirm the divx-bugs with version 4.4 of the "pc version" of twonky-* ..
I also have a lacie ethernet disk with firmware 1.1.1. it comes with twonky 4.2 built in, but after an e-mail to customer support i received a patch that updates twonky to v 4.4.2 , also there is a patch that allows you to enter the admin area of twonky) using the admin console i configured twonky to recognize the ps3 as a ps3 and not a generic device. after this it streamed mp4 files. after the ps3 2.10 update it still does not stream divx.
the patches can be found here

hopefully a solution comes up for the divx streaming
I'm running 4.4.2 on the TS-109 ...
Looks like the mimetype to use is video/x-divx ... Apparently someone got this working on mediatomb using that mime type.
So I've edited clients.db with:
MT:avi,divx video/x-divx and that didn't help
Then I added:
http-get:*:video/x-divx:*
to protocolinfo10.txt (And for completeness 15 and 15-hd also, though the PS3 uses 1.0). Still no luck. Even after rescanning and rebuilding the database.

Maybe that's the problem, most DLNA servers out there seem to run Twonky, so where there is no alternative (competition) user support suffers!urgrue wrote:Agree. It would be nice to at least hear if twonky is working on a solution, or do we have to switch to alternate products?
Maybe that's a bit harsh, I don't know, it may be Sony's error, the trouble is if no one from Twonky is willing to at least reply we don't know. I thought DLNA was an industry standard for media streaming over a network, so you would have thought the server software would be compatible with the client (PS3) software, after all DivX is not a new video codec.
I am also having problems now with WMA files since the latest PS3 firmware update. Some play fine, others just crash out after playing around 44 seconds of music. This was not a problem before, so who's to blame there? Is it Sony or Twonky? I suggest Sony as we all know the problems there was with the v2.0 firmware update and media streaming.
And also with mediatomb. I was happy to pay the reasonable fee for twonky because it has a good interface, but well, if it doesnt work, i guess I'll go back to mediatomb until this gets fixed.Beano wrote:It seems that TVertity works fine (without transcoding) with PS3 ... which is 100% free.
