TwonkyMedia Installation Guide 3.0rev1

© TwonkyVision GmbH 

1 Introduction

TwonkyMedia, the TwonkyVision UPnP MediaServer, enables you to share all your Music, 
Pictures and Videos with UPnP-enabled client devices (also known as media players, digital 
media players (DMP) or media adapters) throughout your home. For a list of supported client 
devices, have a look at the 

TwonkyVision website

.

1.1 Installation

TwonkyMedia licences are available through one of the following distribution channels: 

pre-installed on an embedded device like at network attached storage device or STB,

bundled with a client device,

downloaded from the TwonkyVision website.

In the first case TwonkyMedia is already installed on the device and ready to use. In the two 
other cases mentioned above you first have to install TwonkyMedia. This installation guide 
describes how to install it on PC platforms, namely Windows XP, Linux and Mac OS. If you 
want   to   install   TwonkyMedia   on   other   devices   like   NAS   or   STBs,   please   refer   to   the 
installation guide provided with the distribution packages.
After installing TwonkyMedia, the default configuration will in most cases allow to start using 
TwonkyMedia right away.

1.2 About this Manual

This   manual   will   help   you   to   install   TwonkyMedia   on   your   target   PC   platform.   The 
TwonkyVision   UPnP   MediaServer   is   available   in   two   different   versions:   a   MusicServer 
(TwonkyMusic) and the full MediaServer (TwonkyMedia). The MusicServer is restricted with 
regard to supported content types. The documentation below always refers to TwonkyMedia 
even though the information also applies to TwonkyMusic. 

Additional information about setup and configuration of TwonkyMedia can be found in our 

FAQ

, our 

Forum

 and the 

Media Servers Forum

.
