Recently I’ve been asking for help over on the Twonky Forums. One reply back from a Twonky Rep another from a Twonky Guru. My problem is with Movies. (Only .mp4’s seem to be working…)
Here’s what I was told from the ‘Guru’:
In my wildest dreams I would not even attempt this on a nas device
(the cpu on 99% of the consumer nas’s are not up to the challenge)
‘Twonky Rep’ replies:
Thanks Phibertron for sharing your knowledge.
I reply:
Are you Slamming WD MyBookLive!? This software “Twonky” came with This NAS HD purchase. So are you saying WD did wrong by purchasing Twonky for their device? Ouch, I bet the sales people at Twonky would argue? Anyway, I found (without any help from this forum, sadly) that I can convert my .wmv’s, .avi’s. and .mov’s to .mp4’s with iSquint. And they play on my PS3 REALLY good, YES, with my NAS! LOL!

So WD, I ask you this, if Twonky doesn’t feel your NAS HD is able to stream video well enough. Why are you using Twonky?
I know of another Media app that (doesn’t trancode, same as Twonky) but will play all of my video formats where it seems that Twonky will only play my .mp4’s
