I had the same problem with TwonkyMedia, so I tryed out WMP 11 and it worked. I could view pictures with twonky, and got the X next to any MP3
HR20 won't play any mp3s??
I setup two different uPnP servers to try out the home media features added to the HR20, but they're not working to play mp3s.
I setup TwonkyMedia on my windows laptop to test and also "ushare" on my FreeBSD box. The HR20 sees both of these, but when I browse to the files, it shows them with an "x" next to them and it won't play them. What am I doing wrong? Please, please tell me the HR20 doesn't ONLY work with DRM'd AAC files or something insanely lame like that.

With twonky be certain that you include the plugin for LAME
The HR20 does not currently directly support MP3s.

Bizarre. It doesn't support the most ubiquitous audio format available? What DOES it support? e.g. what does the serving application need to transcode to for it to recognize it?Earl Bonovich said:With twonky be certain that you include the plugin for LAME

Earl, are there plans to support mp3 directly? It seems like something that should be there. Unless it's some sort of licensing issue or D* is being scared off by the RIAA :nono2:Earl Bonovich said:With twonky be certain that you include the plugin for LAME

I don't think there are any concerns of RIAA... the HR20 is just a player.jkc120 said:Earl, are there plans to support mp3 directly? It seems like something that should be there. Unless it's some sort of licensing issue or D* is being scared off by the RIAA :nono2:
As for natively supporting MP3s.
I don't know when that support will come.
The LPCM format.jkc120 said:Bizarre. It doesn't support the most ubiquitous audio format available? What DOES it support? e.g. what does the serving application need to transcode to for it to recognize it?
Which from my understanding is what is the DLNA clients use.
Oh hi
DLNA (www.dlna.org) does specify LPCM as mandatory audio and MP3 optional for the home network devices. Of note DLNA also specifies formats for mobile devices and MP3 is mandatory for Mobile.

jkc.....do you have the plugin loaded? If so, is it working since you did that? When I first set mine up I added the plugin to the plugins folder. Seems that would have made most sense. However it turns out (after reading instructions) that it needs to go in the CGI-BIN folder.
Let us know if adding the plugin to that folder fixes the red Xs. You may have to restart or recan the media.

Right now... Just Audio Files that can be converted to LPMC by the media server. And Pictures (I believe just .JPG/.JPEG)ZELLIS said:my MP3 work just fine with windows media 11, photos work fine too but i cant get my videos to work, they are .mov, .divx, .avi, .wmv, i get each file to show up on the GUI but i have a X to the left of the file name.

Movies are not available yet, but are expected in future versions.
My MP3's play fine also using WMP11 and also using Nero Mediahome.ZELLIS said:my MP3 work just fine with windows media 11, photos work fine too but i cant get my videos to work, they are .mov, .divx, .avi, .wmv, i get each file to show up on the GUI but i have a X to the left of the file name.

Don't get the timeouts with Nero Mediahome like I do with WMP11.
