Switched from Twonky to Serviio Mac OS 10.5
Posted: Wed Mar 23, 2011 9:22 pm
Firstly.. I wish I had done my homework better and gone with Serviio rather than Twonky. If I can work out the remaining kinks I'm having, i'll gladly donate the price of Twonky to the Dev.
I have two devices connecting to the server. An Ipad and a Samsung C6500 BD player. The Ipad registers as "Generic DLNA" and the Samsung as Samsung C. As far as I can tell, the Samsung is getting the right device profile, but the Ipad, not. On the Ipad i'm using the "airplayer" app which works flawlessly, fast forward, reverse, pause... all work with every file type i've tried it with, if the audio gets out of sync it quickly rights itself and goes merrily along. The Samsung on the other hand.. not so good. When video starts playing (no transcoding) you'll quickly see which "tools" are available, such as forward and reverse, but everytime I try to FF it causes the frame to freeze and then shortly after drop the connection.
I'm wondering if it's just something simple in the device profile that I can fix?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
thanks,
Bill
