Hi,
i am a new user of the buffalo linkstation nas and i am quite happy with it, but i am only using it as storage drive and thats not why i chose it. my idea was use the torrent client to get videos and see them on the TV. i am working on the first point, but i need help with the second point too :(
my tv is a samsung c series, i used to use the samsung pc share manager and i could see videos, pause, not ffwd or rew and subtitles. it wasnt perfect but good enough. now with the twonky server from the nas i can do the same but the subtitles, and it is the most (well, second most) important thing, because i like to see movies in original version and i am not english (maybe you have already guessed it...)
so, i know the tv can reproduce subtitles (it worked till now, wuth the srt file with the exactly same name) and i guess twonky can read it too, so they must be lost somewhere in between, is there any way to edit the profiles or somthing to make it work? it would be very nice if ffwd and rew could work too :)
oh, another quite important thing, is there any way to refresh the library manually without entering the web, extensions, media server, refresh now... any command i could send from the cellphone or the computer... or auto refresh when new content is added
i hope someone could help, thank you!!
Hi,
I have discovered q¡that subtitles work! but only with avi files, and most of my media is mp4. i have tried to change extension and it doesn't even recognize it, has anyone got to see subtitles with more than avi files? i am still sure it is posible, why not?
What firmware version (particularly DTCP-IP version) currently installed on your linkstation.
I had the same problem on DTCP-IP prior to 1.60.
mine is 1.60 too, i keep trying, make me know if you get some advence
thanks for answering!
solved!
it is pretty dumb, i have just renamed the .mp4 with .mpg and voila! subtitles are shown!! this confirms my suspects that everything works fine easily, but some configuration is missing in between.
i have already made a renamer bat for all my files.
Wow, how annoying that you have to go through that to get it to work. I never knew about that.
