Twonky Server (Linux) and WD HD Live Plus (Metadata in JPG?)

Post by elgonzo » Thu Oct 27, 2011 11:24 am

Hi,
I just started to use twonky server.
The last days i put all my digital photos (JPG) on my server and used my WD HD Live Plus to view them.
In the future i will sort my photos using Metadaten in the JPG Files.
Can you give me some information, what's the best way to do in collaboration of twonky server and my media player?
I read, that twonky uses XMP-Metadaten? What's about IPTC?
Thank you for answering!
sincerely
Markus

I'm not an expert on this, but I think we read photo tags added by Windows 7 and apps like Windows Live Photo Gallery. There is some more info about this in the link below, but keep in mind that this document hasn't been updated recently. This was also written for another Twonky app called Media Manager, so not all of it may apply to TwonkyServer.
