If it says it works over DLNA, it should work. I did a lot of research in the internet and some say that the Twonky server has to be configured. As said, I can play small files, phots no problem, music no problem. I understand and I know how to access the Twonky server. If you know enough to create a cutom profile it may help, i looked briefly at this option then gave up.

I had all of my movies in. What Leawo did was to allow the user to select the video codec. I never did select. But in the older version it apparently defaulted to H. Leawo has a program that allows one to examine a video file and determine its parameters. At least with the Twonky media server, Blu-rays ripped to MP4 files exhibit discontinuous panning scenes.

When ripped to MKV files they do not. I installed Plex Media Server without too much difficulty. However, when I first launched it from the DL dashboard, it told me an update was available. I downloaded it but could not install it. So I gave up without fooling around with it. My presumption is that it will update automatically on the DL Does anyone know?

No rebuilding a database. OK, that explains things, although I have read in more than one place that the defacto standard today is h. I do something similar. Some BD mp4s can challenge the various playback devices and networks, but using my 5G wireless helps it all work fine. Whenever I add an MP4 movie to the media folder, I have to rebuild the Twonky data base which takes 5 to 10 minutes.

Interesting that I noticed this, too, last night with my DL I have an app on my Kindle tablet called Avia, and it did not see my newest mp4 additions, although the WD My Cloud app had no problem. Rescan media did not help, but Rebuild the media DB did.
