D-Link DSM510 cannot play WMA files with TwonkyServer v6

Post by radster » Wed Feb 16, 2011 11:30 pm

Hi

I'm evaluating TwonkyServer, but I found that with TwonkyServer versions 6.0.28 and 6.0.31-RC6 our D-Link DSM510 media player cannot play .wma (WMA 9 Pro) files - the titles are greyed out which I think suggests the DSM510 thinks the files are in a format it cannot play. The same files play fine on our D-Link DSM320 media player, and on other Upnp media players.

I searched the forums and tried a few things (like adding MT:wma audio/x-ms-wma to the DSM510 entry in the Twonky clients.db file) but nothing worked.

Then as an experiment I tried TwonkyServer 5.1.6, and the .wma files play fine on all our media players (including the DSM510).

Has anyone else encountered this problem with Version 6, and does anyone know of a fix that might work? I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

[TwonkyServer running on Windows XP Pro SP3 PC; D-Link DSM510 f/w 1.08PAL]

A solution exists or should i return to V5?

Hi

I wasn't able to find a solution and my evaluation licence timed out so I've given up on Twonky.

If someone can e-mail me a test file that has this problem, I can try to get this fixed. Send the file to tmm-beta@pv.com. Thanks.
