UPnP streaming on Diablo?
 

After my 770 died two weeks ago, I'll get a used N800 this week and, of course, plan to do a clean reflash with Diablo.

Also, this weekend I bought an external hard disk that runs the TwonkyMedia UPnP server... I thought maybe these two devices could play well together.

Maybe.

Now I read Canola does still have issues on Diablo and is considered experimental; in another thread I read that the Media Streamer will not install under Diablo.

What would you suggest? Any other clients that would work?

I'm a little afraid that following some black magic to get one of the two named applications running under Diablo might cause future system upgrades to fail.

diablo + canola2 + twonky works flawlessly.
I have the exact same setup, N800 running diablo, installed canola2 with upnp plugin + Qnap TS-409 Pro NAS box with twonky 4.4.3 (i think).

If canola fails - just install the nokia media streamer. It's not as good looking - but functionality is the same - and it's actually much quicker to browse you upnp media.

So both canola and media streamer install without issues on Diablo meanwhile? just curious, can't try it myself without even a tablet ATM. ;)

The included Media Player in Diablo finds my Twonky server. Media Streamer will also work. Canola works but is not the best of the 3 IMHO for UPnP streaming (no album art and too long between songs). Media Streamer is the best (allows queuing, displays album art).

Cool. I didnt have any UPnP device so far, so I had no idea that even the built in player would find my twonky server. I love this. Can't wait to try it. :D

The only issue Canola has is if your updating python to Diablo. So if you hold off on those updates then you should be fine. (see canola forum).

Hey nikolajhendel,

I have that set up and can get to TV when I turn my server's firewall off. Once it finds the TV server I can turn the firewall back on and stream media but the initial connection always requires me to disable the firewall.

Did you open any additional ports in your FW? I have 9000:TCP and 9010:TCP but have not been able to figure anything else out via a netstat -a or searching.

Just curious.... thanks, :confused:

diablo + media streamer + converted video files + vista works like a charm :D
