![]() So, without a possibility to tell Twonky to ignore the photo directory, MPWP would be either music server or portable backup solution. The DLNA server imports 200’000 hi-res pictures, 200’000 preview pictures and tries to create thumbs for all of them. So, even if used only as music server, there are too many restrictions to use it as I thought.Īs I would like to use MPWP also as backup solution, I added a backup of my Lightroom photo directory.Ī very bad idea, when Twonky is active. Believe me, you don’t like to listen to Pink Floyd’s ‘The Wall’ or Beethoven’s ‘Piano Concerto No.5’ with a pause of 10-30s between tracks … Then, changing from one track to another takes up to 30 seconds. During the scan, streaming music without interruptions is not possible, therefore I need to drive 10 Minutes until the system is ready. Right after powering up MPWP in the car, a scan is started. With about 5’000 Albums and 75’000 songs, the system is too slow. In theory, with Twonky everything works, however, there are a few things that makes MPWP unusable as a music server in the car. As for the updated profiles, I suspect that you should be able to extract them from the Twonky 8 install package, and copy them into the Twonky 7 directory (profiles are just simple XML). I could see and browse the directories and files, but the files were not playable.Īs I don’t want to mess around with XML files, I did a factory reset and went on with Twonky. Well, the OP of the Twonky upgrade thread has just replied to say they were successful try posting on that thread to see if you can get advice. Plex did not work with the Audi DLNA Client. So, just a short review, what I’ve found out. Once Plex is installed, can it be deinstalled and Twonkey be activated again? For my use, I only want to stream the music in the music directory. plexignore file, to exclude directories and files from being added to the library. However, I’m quite cautious, and when the system tells me, that the installation of Plex will deactivate Twonky I’m not hitting ‘yes’ with ease …īasically, I have a solution, that works, but I’m curious, if the other opion is betterĪre there significant differnces when streaming to a DLNA client? ![]() Therefore, I wanted to try out the Plex Media Server. ![]() By the way, there is a PC version of Twonky Beam called Twonky 7. It works, but is a bit slow, and, when searching on the directory level, the songs in an album are presented in alphabetical order, not the order on the album (even, if the filename is 01 - Money for nothing and 09 - Brothers in Arms it sorts first ‘Brothers in Arms’ and so on …). The basic usage is to download the free Twonky Beam app for your tablets and phones. I added my 75’000 songs on a directory ‘music’ and the default Twonky Server is offering them to the MMI for streaming. Today I got my WD Wireless Pro that I want to use to stream my music library in the car.Īs the Audi MMI supports only maximum 10’000 Songs on a SD card or harddisc, I was looking for a DLNA solution, where this limit does not exist.
