Twonky server linksys6/16/2023 So there is a difference but that still doesn't explain Management Studio's behaviour. 17-19 are application errors that the user can't correct.11-16 are errors that can be corrected by the user.Wondering what the significance of the change from severity 16 to 17 was and why Management Studio should treat them differently I headed over to SQL Server Books Online which says: ![]() Odd as the error message has now moved from between the "Start" and "End" to after the "End". However if you increase the severity to 17 or 18 you get this. The other day I noticed some oddness in the Messages window of SQL Server Management Studio when using RAISERROR with different error severities. I actually wrote this almost a year ago but forgot to post it. If this is the way companies behave with their DLNA certification, if they can just get around any non-compliance issues by saying "it's the other guy's problem" then one really does wonder what the point of DLNA is. So basically, "even though we're DLNA-compliant and you're using a DLNA-compliant server we give you no guarantees they'll work together whatsoever". Quite how they can call this compliance I don't know but luckily they have a nice get out clause: Unfortunately the Twonky Media software versions you are currently using are not guaranteed to work, as third party software developers are susceptible to modify the features of their software. In other words their DLNA-compliance for that particular server only extends to pictures. ![]() This information is the result of tests performed in Sony laboratories. This is apparently not the case and Sony themselves confirmed this to me by e-mail saying: Unfortunately the KDL-32V5500 Media compatibility results with DLNA Media servers are as follows for Twonky Media 1.0.0.115 you can play back JPG formats. I found this all very odd as surely the DLNA badge on both devices ensures that they're compatible and will have no trouble in streaming the content. Sony Bravia TVs and Twonky on NAS not working together on Twonky's forum.Playback not available on Sony KDL-37V5500 on Linksys' forum.Threads on a fair few forums across the net show that lots of folk are experiencing the same issues: It was just the particular version of Twonky on the Media Hub and the renderer in the TV that didn't like each other. Installing Twonky Media Manager on my PC, which acts as both a server and client, I was able to stream all the content types off the Media Hub fine and was also able to stream content to the TV fine. I suspected my network or the format of files I was trying to stream may have been to blame but after a (lengthy) process of elimination I took both out of the equation. Video files on the other hand are a non-starter and can't be browsed or played. I can browse audio files on the Media Hub however only the first 20 seconds of each file will play and after that I get a "Playback not available" error. The trouble is that, while I can view photos from the Media Hub on the TV fine, both audio and video fail to work. The Bravia has a DLNA compatible renderer, similar to the PS3 which can also stream content over a network. The Media Hub runs Twonky Media Server which, to all intents and purposes, is the reference implementation of a DLNA server. Both are DLNA-compliant devices and support streaming pictures, audio and video over the network. I currently have a Linksys Media Hub NMH410 and a Sony Bravia 32V5500 television connected to my network. Unfortunately, as I have experienced first hand, the reality is far from the convenient ideal that DLNA professes to provide. Twonky Server v8.2.1 and higher no longer contain the Twonky Thumbnail Utility (TTU) tool and does not support extracting thumbnails from video content.In my very first post of 2007 I talked about the promise of DLNA and that with compliant devices you could enjoy freedom to consume your digital media wherever or however you wanted. ![]() The Twonky Server Interface and Settings are not supported by WD Technical Support.This article explains My Cloud OS 5: Twonky Server Configuration and Settings
