Easily share multimedia with UPnP-enabled devices at home using our software. Enjoy seamless access to your media files across multiple devices in your network.
If you are in need of a media server that can efficiently share multimedia with standard UPnP-enabled client devices, then TwonkyMedia is an excellent option. This DLNA Certified media server is available for Macintosh, Windows XP, and Linux and can even come pre-installed on select devices.
One of the benefits of using TwonkyMedia is the ability to share your content without having your PC online all the time or relying on a PC. TwonkyMedia requires fewer resources and is faster than other UPnP media servers, while still providing more features to assist users in enjoying their large media collections.
For example, TwonkyMedia can scan your hard drive for music, picture, and video content, automatically extracting metadata. Additionally, file naming schema is supported for WAV files, allowing you to provide information about the title, album, and artist of the music track. TwonkyMedia is also integrated with existing media management tools like iTunes, Winamp, and Photoshop Album, and utilizes the metadata libraries of these tools. Playlists created with the Windows Media Player and Winamp can also be imported by the MediaServer.
Another great feature of TwonkyMedia is its ability to act as a proxy and translate internet radio stations for client devices that do not directly support it. For these clients, each radio station is interpreted as a never-ending MP3 song that can be selected and played like a locally available piece of music.
When it comes to compatible content formats, TwonkyMedia supports a wide range including music formats such as MP3, WMA, WAV, 3GP, M4A, MP4, LPCM, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, MP2, AC3, MPA, MP1, AIF, and ASF. Photo formats that can be utilized include JPEG, PNG, TIF, BMP, and GIF, while video formats include MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG2-TS, MPEG4, AVI, WMV, VOB, DivX, 3GP, VDR, ASF, MPE, DVR-MS, Xvid, M1V, and M4V. Internet radio is also supported via vTuner and Shoutcast, while playlists such as WPL, PLS, and M3U are compatible.
It's important to keep in mind that actual formats supported depend on individual client devices, and the current version of TwonkyMedia does not provide transcoding functionality. Overall, if you're looking for a user-friendly media server with lots of great features, TwonkyMedia is worth checking out.
