TwonkyMedia Quick Startup – 4.2.2 Medion

1 Overview

TwonkyMedia is a Media Server that enables you to share all your Music, Pictures and
Videos with UPnP-enabled client devices such as digital media and music players throughout
your home.

TwonkyMedia scans the file system for music, picture and video content. It automatically
extracts the available metadata. In addition, TwonkyMedia also utilizes the metadata libraries
of iTunes and Adobe Photoshop Album. Playlists created with Winamp or the Windows
Media Player can be imported as well.

The current version supports the following media formats:
Audio: MP3, M4A, M4B, MP4, 3GP, WAV, WMA, OGG, FLAC, AAC, MP2, AC3,

MPA, MP1, AIF
Images: JPEG, PNG, TIF, BMP
Video: MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG4, AVI, WMV, VOB, DivX, 3GP, VDR, ASF, MPE,

DVR-MS, Xvid, M1V, M4V
Playlists: M3U, PLS, WPL
Internet Radio: Shoutcast

Please note that for content formats like WMA and AAC only non protected files are
supported. TwonkyMedia does not resolve DRM or remove DRM from protected files.

From the available metadata TwonkyMedia automatically creates a navigation tree. Unlike
other media servers that only provide a simple, fixed navigation structure, TwonkyMedia
offers a choice of three pre-defined music navigation trees that address different user needs:

• simple navigation tree organizing the content into a flat structure supporting artist,
album, genre and folders;

• iPOD-like navigation tree also utilizing the composer tag as well as a more structured
approach including artist/album and genre/artist/album;

• advanced navigation tree addressing end-users with large media libraries by
providing artist and genre index (grouping into a-c, d-f, etc) as well as
year/artist/album in addition to the structures above.

In addition to the pre-defined navigation trees the user can define a personalized one (see
section 3).

For pictures and videos TwonkyMedia provides a default navigation tree based on date and
folder structure. The picture navigation tree can be enhanced by using tags defined with
Adobe Photoshop Album (see section 3 for details regarding configuration).
