After installing TwonkyMedia, you had to reboot the HR20, right? That's when it checks the network for available servers, yes?bagleyb said:I've been using Twonky on my Mac, and streaming pictures just fine. Most of my music is purchased from iTunes, so it won't play. I need to try to stream some of my podcasts that are mp3, but haven't had the time yet.

Yeah, I figured that out later too. I did, however, have to disable the firewall. I haven't checked what ports everything runs on... does anyone have that information handy?pgiralt said:You don't have to reboot the HR20.
I sent an email to Elgato the other day. Here is the message I received.machavez00 said:Someone in another thread called twonky and there is not a plug in yet. I posted on their forum but it seems no one answers. I went to the EyeConnect website and they are looking into it. EyeConnect has the audio to wav/lpcm plugin but as you you know all you get is white noise. I am beginnig to think it is the HR20, its not a UPnP device.
BTW connect360 does not work either

Thank you for contacting Elgato Systems.
It appears that the HR20 only supports LPCM as a music format. EyeConnect does not play this format.
I have written a feature request for EyeConnect to convert audio files to LPCM format.

So what is the "Audio to wav/LPCM" plugin that is already installed in Eyeconnect?
So do we have any of these answers, like what formats the HR20 supports. I know of LPCM, are there any others? When I get a chance this weekend I'll try to run some test files in various fomats/bit rates to the HR20.machavez00 said:This is the response from their support forum
Michael,
In researching your problem, I seem to have found this discussion you have participated in, about this DVR:
http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=73279&page=2
Have you received any help from other users?
I'm wondering about what exact formats your DVR supports for UPnP AV use - do you have a list or URL?
I'm also wondering if the bitrate of the MP3 file could come into play. Perhaps you could compare the specifics of a MP3 on your Mac, and one from the PC you've tested.
We have no other reports from users of this DVR about anything related to EyeConnect, so this is the first time I've heard this problem.
It could be how you encoded the files, or it could be how EyeConnect is sending them. One way to test that is to find out if your DVR supports something other than MP3 (like WAV), and test that.
I've you can find a supported movie format, then try that too, to see if the soundtrack has the same problem.

Left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing?
I can play the exact same audio files from my brother PC down the street after I dumped them onto his HD. I turned sharing on in WMP11 and Viola! my MP3s play on my HR20, same songs, WMP instead of EyeConnect.
I downloaded it have not installed/tried it yetbagleyb said:Has anyone looked at videolan for the Mac yet?
I'm still pretty new to the Mac (less than a year) but LPCM is mentioned in their forums quite often.
I'm going to try it when I get home, unless someone else has already been down this road.
