TwonkyMedia Default Settings
TwonkyMedia has these default settings in your HP MediaSmart Server:
•
Enables three folders for media streaming (You can add more. See below.):
•
Music —music only (album art is displayed but is not shared as a picture)
•
Photos —music, photos, and videos
•
Videos —videos only
•
Gives all newly-detected DMRs access to your media
You can change these default settings by clicking the TwonkyMedia button on the HP
MediaSmart Server tab of your Windows Home Server Console
UPnP A/V and DLNA
Universal Plug and Play Audio Video ( UPnP A/V) and Digital Living Network Alliance
(DLNA) define standard network protocols for streaming media.
•
UPnP A/V is a set of network protocols that allow networked devices to
communicate seamlessly in a home networking environment. The Digital Media
Servers on your HP MediaSmart Server, TwonkyMedia and Windows Media
Connect, use UPnP/AV.
•
DLNA is a set of standards (that includes UPnP A/V) for sharing media between
devices. TwonkyMedia is DLNA compliant. Windows Media Connect is not.
This compliance allows TwonkyMedia to work with more DMRs.
TwonkyMedia and Remote Streaming
You can stream media to your laptop in the hotel room or to your friend’s computer in
London. TwonkyMedia takes media from the folders on your disk and streams this to the
Web server. The Web server streams your media files to the Internet where you can
access them from any computer that has an Internet browser.
