Twonky 6 + Samsung TV + MKV = stuck?

Hi guys,

I've a little problem, i own a My Book World Edition II and upgraded Twonky to Version 6. It's rather all ok, but if I try to watch 1080p MKV's via my Samsung LE37C650 the movie stucks like during a buffering sequence and continue playing after a while. SD and 720p works perfectly.

The speed to my TV LAN port isn't the problem it's nearly 6,5 MB/s. I think it could be a buffersize or something similar? Maybe at my Samsung TV or directly in Twonky 6? Has anyone experience with that and an idea how I can change that behaviour?

Any help will be appreciate! Thanks!

Hi,

which version of twonky do you use ? the last one ? 6.0.30 ? because previous one bug with Samsung series C.

Can you test the same movie with another server ? For example 'SAMSUNG PC Share Manager' or 'Serviio', if it works with this server, so it's a Twonky bug, if it don't work, maybe your network speed… or your movie (do you have test it directly on usb port on TV ?)

Personnaly I use Serviio and even full hd mkv work fine on my Samsung C6700 Series (BR rip of 16Go size work fine).
(I use Serviio because it handle subtitle which doesn't work even with 6.0.30 version of Twonky)

Hope it can help.

Hello xenon,

How did you upgrade to version 6 on My Book World Edition II? I'm currently using version 5 but i cannot get the mkv file to play on my samsung tv series 5.

Thank you!

Possibly, twonky is not compatible with 1080p mkv.

but how did you upgrade Twonky to version 6 on My Book World Edition II? Is it possible?
