Topic: The Twonky


In the News (Wed 30 Dec 09)

  
  A Minute in the Life of a Rally 'Bot
Twonky was as pleased as a 'bot of his limited mental capacity could be at this state of afairs, but before he could fire he was unceremoniously rammed from the side by Zipbot, and shoved completely off of the high speed conveyor, losing his lock on Hammerbot in the process.
Twonky tried to look ahead at the rest of his program to see where it might take him now, but his mental capacity was too limited...he'd just have to wait and see.
Twonky made a note to get that particular 'bot at the first opportunity, then engaged his drive's reverse gear and backed off the geared rotator and under the looming bulk of the big hydraulic stamping machine.

 Boob Tube from the Beyond - Arts and Entertainment
Oboler's "Twonky" is a thinly-veiled indictment of tv-culture mediocrity and its stultifying effects upon the human intellect.
The greatest allegorical irony of "The Twonky" lies in the fact that the alien television's screen remains blank throughout the film.
Even as the Twonky waddles toward the wierded-out West and he screams, "You have denied me my God given right to be wrong," one cannot suppress a secret liking for the boob tube from the beyond.

If a Twonky representative could chime in here and directly answer a question or two, this forum would be much more useful to the people buying the product.
Twonky lists FLAC as a valid format but my setup only seems to play low bit-rate formats like WMA or MP3 and I cannot find directions as to how to make the server see/play FLAC files.
Twonky needs to get in tune with the functional aspects of their product, shore them up and take a leadership role on this forum.

The first one was to ensure that Twonky was not running as a local system account.
I run the Twonky service as Administrator which ensures that all drives, shares and directories are accessible.
The last but not least is to ensure that the the Twonky service starts after the NetGear service (Zetera) and a good guide to doing that is shown here http://www.petri.co.il/delay_services_in_w...000_xp_2003.htm.

Twonky is hands down the best and most robust solution, it will categorize your media in any way you want it, it's easy to install, and has a nice clean easy to use web interface.
Twonky has already been packaged by the twonky folks, it's very easy to install and use, but of course it is not opensource.
Twonky wants $40 for their UPnP solution, which is a bit too much for me to pay for a simple server, so I punted on that one.

They appear to be enjoying themselves, and little blue Twonkies come from time to time to pick up the results of their work and carry them away.
And since no Twonkies were harmed in the process, the future holds peaceful relations and exchange of household appliances between the human and Twonky race.
When the twonky mothership comes back to earth to pick up its people, they will not be happy to hear of the lack of welcome you showed the twonkies while here.

 Roku Forums :: View topic - Playlist Limits - Roku, NAS or Twonky?
The only reason I have started with playlists again is due to the new feacture of Twonky 3.1 being able to resolve the paths correctly on the Linkstation when they are created in Windows.
We are making a perfectly valid UPnP request, so it's up to the server to either fulfill the request in a reasonable amount of time or to return a subset of the requested results, leaving it up to the client to ask again to get the rest (which we would do in that situation).
We've reported this issue to Twonky via the NAS manufacturer, so I hope that they may be able to fix it.

I got it free as part of the beta testing (which was a freaking joke) but the techs never listened to anything anyone said.
As for cd or other mp3 files, it streams well, but for radio(I have got a trial version, so may be it's normal for me but for u,if it's a puchased one it shouldn't happen, no!).

This worked fine (and displayed the track lists a good bit faster as well) suggesting there is no particular issue with the twonky server.

The Twonky (1953): Hans Conried, Janet Warren, Arch Oboler
Part of the intrigue of Arch Oboler’s film is that for most of it we are unsure of the purpose of the ‘twonky’, as it is christened.
Read between the lines: Writer-director Oboler was a prominent radio producer before switching to film, and it was he who changed the twonky (as it appeared in Henry Kuttner’s short story ten years earlier) from a radiogram to a television set.

If you use Twonkyvision, you have the option of exporting the playlists as 'true' M3U playlists if the PC you are running the controller on has access to a copy of the Twonky database containing the real music track disk file names.
Note that playlists produced using this method should be compatible with any media server that 'sees' the same file paths as the Twonky server.
This modification also addressed a bug where one would have to double-click an entry multiple times to get it to be the active item when visiting it a second time.
