I loaded video files to the Public Videos folder and when I tried to view them on my TV only some were visible. I went in the My Cloud dashboard and refreshed the DLNA database. While I was there I noticed that many of the videos had been loaded as music. All of the video files are the same type and file extension. Is there a way to move the DLNA file associations from music to video?
Certain files, like MP4 are container files and can be encoded in such a way that Twonky will not properly read them and will classify them as audio. The workaround is to reencode the media file into a Twonky supported format using programs like the free Handbrake (https://handbrake.fr/).
In other cases incorrect metadata for the media (MP3/MP4 for example) can cause problems. One can use metadata editors like the free MediaMonkey (http://www.mediamonkey.com/) or the free MP3Tag (http://www.mp3tag.de/) to edit/modify/remove metadata tags on certain media files.
That makes sense. Some files are classified as video and some as audio but as far as I could tell from the file extensions they are all the same. I will start looking at the metadata for differences.
