PS - its a bargain (though Logitech is killing the Revue - at $ 129 - the USB camera alone retails for $ 149), scoop it up at BB.Īht961 - your chart is great! How did you invoke the Twonky et. Twonky works with every DLNA/UPnP server, which is not always found with other media connectivity solutions. My problem is trying to get the unRaid to send out an acceptable DLNA signal and/or set-up a "Share" for these players.įYI the Revue has a great keyboard that I've used from upstairs ~ 200 ft away and it still communicated with the box w/o problems, plus it has a HDMI passthrough so my cable box (Tivo) can co-exist on the Projector/TV screen and I can "surf" pip at same time. Twonky SDK’s easy to use application programming interface (API) allow developers to develop the desired app for their own client either a Digital Media Controller (DMC) or Digital Media Player (DMP). I've tried MiniDlna w/o much success and currently have a Logitech Revue (Google TV) but haven't been able to get a DLNA Player to work successfully. So I understand Twonky is the best for all around usage? Is it also good to play your entire (big) music collection through an Apple TV for example?
Thank you so much this is really precious. Modified:, * according to naxland and ** to Bungy below At the end of the day, you get tired or bored of all this converting and arranging business and want to just drop the media and forget it, then twonky comes handy. The MyBook Live is a popular choice, heres how to enable Twonky, DLNA and iTunes. If you just want to add the server automatically and use only your iPad for watching the movies, then go for the Air video. If you have a good NAS drive you can stream content throughout your home. You can add plug-ins like spotify and hulu and many others. then I recommend Plex, which is superb as a mediacenter and you can use your big plasma. If you are more than happy to spend hours converting to suitable media (H.264 I use - with the help of Elgato Turbo H264), burning the subtitles and etc. Playsation and android devices are ok as well. Coupled with a suitable player for your iPad/iphone, you are ready to go. no conversion, sraight forward ripping or recording tv via pvr), then the easiest and the most feature rich server is twonky (downsides: no metadata). If you don't want to spend much time with your media beforehand (ie. The My Cloud DLNA service is on and works with other devices on my network, such as a Roku Ultra, vlc media player (tablets and smartphones). If you find some wrong info or wish to add some features which worked for you but which I was not aware of, please feel free to add. Twonky (DLNA server dashboard) allows me to choose what type of media receiver the Xbox One is, and the Xbox One is showing up in the list of media receivers in the sharing section of the Twonky dashboard.
All the following are based on my personal experience and preferences. In order for you to make a proper choice before installation I decided to write down the features of these servers. None of them were perfect enough to justify installation as a dedicated single server. Tried quite a few, each had their pros and cons. I have been looking for a media server which could fulfill most of my expectations.
