BolKariaN Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Hi all! I've recently signed up for the forum but I've been following it a few months as a guest. I'm riding a media server. Now I have the components ok. The server works great. I was using version 4.7, but I needed something like TonkyMedia. I go to the 5.0 beta 12a. (I think that). TonkyMedia and works but is not free. I have tried MediaTomb, which will manage well, but will not let me view the files online. I tried with Ps3media, but not know why when I go to ip: port empty out the web. After all this time I look and look, I see myself in the situation to the next question. Does anyone know of something like TonkyMedia but non-payment? And if your answer is yes I can do How to install on the server? Thank you all.
joshpond Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 If Twonky media server works well and does what you want, I'd just buy it, it's only $20. You spend this much on hardware, you could end up spending hours trrying to get something else to do what you want for free. Josh

You're right but I need to find some free. I'm doing a project for school with unRAID. The project is to create a linux media server with free software. I was thinking of using ubuntu, debian or linux mint to create a media server but I found unRAID and I really liked the system. But now I encounter the problem of finding something like Twonky Ajaxexplorer or average but free. These are the reasons for insisting on two questions: Does anyone know of something like TonkyMedia but non-payment? And if your answer is yes I can do How to install on the server? Thank you all
BolKariaN Posted January 2, 2012 Author Posted January 2, 2012 Why not Plex!? Thank you for your answer. I'll try to plex. I will comment as I have gone with plex. Thanks.
Lacehim Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 There is also the Playstation Media Server. Free and works with my PS3, Samsung TV, WD live and xbmc.
Ford Prefect Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 I have tried MediaTomb, which will manage well, but will not let me view the files online. ....I do not quite understand, What exactly is the feature you need? Mediatomb has a Web-UI to manage the files. Once a file is added, you can simply download/access it from within the UI via Browser (which will need a plugin to play the media, of course)

I need some way of playing video files, music, photos via web, but I need to be free. I will connect to the server with a Linux or Windows systems. Forgive me for my bad English. thanks
prostuff1 Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 by "the web" I assume you mean accessing the data while you are NOT on your home/local network? If that is the case then you can look into VPN, which can be set up so you can access your network like you were sitting at home.

As with TwonkyMedia. Thank you.
