Twonky transcoding, but not streaming.

Post by cryos » Wed Aug 03, 2011 6:59 pm

I'm running the current 6.0.32 server on a Ubuntu 11.04 64bit machine. Twonky has been filling up my drive with transcoded copies of my video files and my Panasonic DMP-BDT210 Blu-ray player still has grayed out files and the "cannot play" error. I have tried different profiles for Panasonic, generic, and even win7 than was mention in a forum post. I can't figure out what's wrong. It's like Twonky is not redirecting from the original file to the transcoded one.

If you mean the desc for mkv to ffmpeg here you go. I never came across one specific for Panasonic. By the way, music and pictures are fine, just video is not streaming.


exec: ffmpeg -threads 2 -i $infile -vcodec mpeg2video -sameq -acodec copy -f vob -copyts -y -scodec copy $outfile

Thanks. I've asked a few others to comment if they see an error here.
