I've got TwonkyVision working on my Apple iBook. It's actually streaming my iTunes library from an external hard drive, no problems there.

But I'm only seeing mp3 file types in my list. Much of my music is in m4a format.

I've been trying to research these and the TwonkyVision forums, and it looks like TwonkyVision does support m4a. Has anyone else had problems with Media Streamer not recognizing m4a?

I would imagine that Media Streamer like many UPnP players does not support aac or m4a audio, also formats with DRM are generally not supported by many typical UPnP players. (i.e. Media Streamer only supports mp3 and ogg perhaps?)

www.tversity.com should allow you to transcode m4a on the fly as mp3 for the Media Streamer, but I have to be honest and say I have not tested this. (I think work may be required on a TVersity profile for Media Streamer to advise on format)

Here is the specific TVersity FAQ relating to supported formats when the correct Directshow decoder is installed http://s3.amazonaws.com/www.tversity...tml#faq-N100C1

I just wanted to add that while the setting up of the TVersity Server is not exactly the most intuitive software I have ever used, once it is setup and you get your n770 setup with it, this is a very nice, smooth addition to your 770. Now, when we get the other MEDIA types streaming, VIDEO etc, we will really have a nice slick feature. I encourage all to try this out, it works great.
NOTE: make sure you get the router to Forward the Port. Firewalls and Routers will be the source of trouble for most. The instructions cover it well, just take your time and read. I must stress, this is not the "Real men Don't Need manuals" software install. LOL

New version mediastreamer_1.1-2 available with support for images https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=74

Note that if you read the Media Streamer open-discussion thread, info is effectively available on supported formats at this release i.e. :-

• Audio formats: mp3, aac, wma, wav
• Picture Formats: jpeg, png

support for images ready. Now it is time for video!
Can't wait for the first beta releases of media streamer
with video working together with Tversity

I am now having success streaming all my photos from the PC to the Nokia 770 (TVersity to Media Streamer). I have posted a number of Nokia Screen grabs in to illustrate this capability with a very basic how-to use In My Blog :)

It all works extremely well, image streaming from my PC to the Nokia 770 is very quick, where it seems that no matter what image I try to load TVersity quite happily provides the image at a scale that the Nokia 770 is happy to accept. (I think but am not sure that the Media Streamer profile I have manually added to TVersities profiles.xml is making a difference even though I have not adjusted any media transcoding values)

I am looking forward to the release of Media Streamer which will support Video streaming, Visa Smolander is currently suggesting there will be support for the following in the Media Streamer Open-Discussion :-

MPEG-4 Simple Profile Level 2
Max. QVGA 320x240
mp4 file must have mp42 major brand (or 3gp5)
Bitrate 384kbs

Album art, Media Connect
 

I'm using Media Connect 2.0. How can I display album art in Media Streamer?
Daniel

As far as I can tell, Media Streamer's, Album Art feature currently only works with PMM and Simple Center Media Servers and then only with a specifically named image "folder.jpg" in the album folder of the tracks being served/played.

I have been tidying/updating both my album folders and my individual mp3's ID3Tagging with embedded Album Art, but do not think that Media Streamer reads the mp3 embedded jpg?

I use ID3-tagIT, MusicBrainz Classic Tagger to ensure ID3V1/2 Tagging is consistent and Album Cover Art Downloader to check my Album Folder/track Art consistency.

gmediaserver
 

I have set up gmediaserver on an ubuntu box, and I can stream music, but, is there any way for it to send images also?

I was going to try ushare, as it supposedly supports images, but I cannot get the package, has anybody tried that?

Thanks

Looks like GMediaServer & MediaTomb Media Servers do not support Photo Images & Video?

Twonky Media Server runs on Linux and provides Image & Video support and there is a 30 "try it" version http://www.twonkyvision.de/Products/...dia/index.html
