Thanks for the update

I have read all I can on what has already been posted about the product

But am a little confused about the included server function and it not being mentioned
As you know I had to try this http://ipofmyiphoneoritouch:9000 once I saw it on the network
So it appears that Twonky Mobile Server for iPhone is included
But, it is not registered with a key or anything, thus will not actually stream media until activated
I haven't tried my key for Twonky Server yet, to get it going, but I figure it will work

So my first question is, does Twonky Mobile for iPhone purchase include the server which seems be there
As I also notice there is talk of Twonky Mobile Server for android as being free?

All versions of Twonky Mobile include a special version of TwonkyServer. :D

Even though it does not have a license key, it will still stream media to any UPnP or DLNA media player on your network. I just used my Samsung remote to access photos on my iPhone running Twonky Mobile.

- The iPhone app is currently limited to only streaming photos on the phone. This is an Apple limitation, not a Twonky imposed limitation. :(

- The Android version of Twonky Mobile can stream any media type from the phone or Internet.

Although it's true that clever users like you can access the server settings from http://ipofmyiphoneoritouch:9000 that's currently unsupported and untested, so I would not expect all of the settings to work.

TwonkyServer Mobile and Twonky Mobile for Android are both free today, but that will change soon, so everyone should download them now!

not directed at twonky, but that is such !@#$ %^&*

I guess I better either go buy that phone now, and get the binaries, I'll go see if there are links I can use to d/l local for now

Rick, Thanks again for the info

PS
I'm not clever just curious :roll:

Much better! Fewer crashes - it actually works for me now! Great job :)

But: Chapters and resume functions would be great when playing movies. Also a better way of fast forward of movies/videos. Its not that precise in the "Play window", but better than Twonky Server since you can skip directly to the middle for instance.

Still a few crashes :)

Thanks for sharing this info. I'm pleased to hear that we're moving in the right direction. :D

I'll continue to forward all of the bug reports I get to our developers and over time we'll get this app into better shape.
