Does Twonky have a face?

[dkarda]

Hello from a NOOB,

I have a Buffalo Linkstation Pro Duo and have been using it primarily to back up and make my music collection available to my network. I never paid much attention to a front end or tried to do anything fancy with it.

Now I'm planning on ripping all my DVDs and setting them up on my network in digital format. I've read a lot of talk about Twonky, looked at the Twonky site, but still can't seem to find the information that explains what I'm wondering. I have put in several hours trying. Maybe I just am missing it.

I'm aware that Twonky makes media streaming available via the web settings and that is all good. I'm serving up MP4s and can watch them on my TV via my PS3. However, I'm wondering if there's more than a few enable/disable settings in the interface to give me more flexibility. Ultimately I'm hoping for the ability to grab movie info where needed and/or have the ability to sort by genre. Part of me feels I'm missing an interface and the other part is thinking it is as vanilla as what I see.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. I'm in the market for a larger device, want to stay with Buffalo, but will consider more expensive options if I can't achieve the goals desired with Buffalo.

Regards,
DK
