Twonky with Multiple Formats (OGM, MKV, XVID, etc)

Post by Terin » Tue Aug 12, 2008 2:59 am

I'm trying before I buy Twonky, and one major thing I've noticed is that it doesn't support a lot of file formats. It does DivX, etc, fine for my PS3, but my real goal is to stream a lot more than just that -- XVID, MKV, OGM, etc. I've seen that there are some ways to have VLC transcode the data over -- VLC supports everything I want to watch. Is there any how-to on how to make this happen ? My target platform is Gentoo (running on a modded Linksys NAS200), which will then be streamed to a good ol' Sony PS3 60GB model.

Any ideas/plans?

Let me know if you get any info on this...I'm really bummed about no mkv support...

But other than that, it works great with my 360 setup
