TwonkyMedia and Solaris10

[helibore]

Hi,

I would love to run Solaris10 and ZFS but the only thing stopping me is a lack of TwonkyMedia.
Is there any chance of a version of TwonkyMedia running on x86 Solaris10 ?
Give that Open Solaris is moving forward and that Solaris 10 can be downloaded by a simple registration process, as can SunStudio 12 a version for Solaris would be great

Thanks
John

Hi,

this is possible by installing TwonkyMedia inside a Linux Container using branded zones. Here is a guide on how to do that: http://blogs.sun.com/constantin/entry/twonkymedia_on_solaris.

Although this works fine, it would still be better to have a native Solaris version of the TwonkyMedia server. I'll send em ail to their support department, hopefully Solaris will soon become popular enough for it to be supported by TwonkyVision/PacketVideo.

Hope this helps,
Constantin

Hi,

I'm also waiting for a real support of Sun OS, since I don't plan of using tricks to make Twonkymedia run on my personal NAS box, based on Open Solaris.

Open Solaris (and other derivative from Solaris), because of its unique support of ZFS, is becoming more and more popular among enthusiast users, and I feel TwonkyMedia should provide us serious support.

Julien

Hi,

Constantin keep up the good work on your Blog ! Nice to see there are more people using their Open Solaris home system as a DLNA server. I'm also waiting for a real support of ( Open) Solaris , BrandZ is a workaround but costs a lot of resources on my little home server. It wouldn't be that much work for Twonky Media to make a solaris port.

Cheers,

Norbert.

Hi,

I have a home server running OpenSolaris with just under a TB of ACC media that I would dearly love to stream direct. I have Windows XP running in a Virtualbox VM on top of OpenSolaris just to stream media around the house, after reading some of the reviews would dearly love to strip this out and replace with TwonkyMedia running in Solaris.

Are there any plans to release a Solaris/OpenSolaris version?

I too would be very interested in a Solaris/Opensolaris native port of TwonkyMedia. It would definitely encourage me to buy it.

Hi,

I have a license for twokymedia and would also like twokymedia for native solaris 10.
My branded linux zone does not always work especially for PS3s.
