The minimum requirements will allow real-time transcoding of media files with bitrates up to kbps. Higher bitrates will require faster machines. Media files that do not require transcoding, i. A modern, desktop grade, single core CPU is required for real-time transcoding of standard definition video e. WMV x 1. Non real-time transcoding of any bitrate video can be done on any machine, with the speed of the machine determining the time it takes to complete the transcoding.
A commercial license including a developer license is available here. If you have a wireless network running you should allow only specific MAC addresses to join the network and you should turn on encryption on your network. Otherwse it becomes too easy for someone in close proximity to your home to gain access to your home network, in which case they will also gain access to anything shared via TVersity Media Server and Screen Server.

Currently browsing the library during a refresh is likely to fail. Waiting till the refresh operation is done will solve this problem. If you would like the server to abort the current refresh operation, you need to restart it since currently the GUI does not have an abort refresh feature.
For the TVersity Media Server you need to make sure the Windows service that corresponds to it, is started. This should open a black window in which the progress of the starting operation will be displayed.
If it starts successfully then you most likely have solved your problem. If it says that the server was already running please check the other possible solutions below. If starting the service seems to fail please refer to the next question in this FAQ which deals with problems in getting the media server to start as a service. Make sure that the Windows Firewall and any other personal firewall installed on your computer does not block the server from accpeting incoming connections.
This is a very common problem so please take the time to check this issue. You will need to make sure that the executable MediaServer. Some media players do not allow you to choose which media server to use and therefore you first need to terminate the media server you were using before and only then will the media player be able to identify the TVersity Media Server, please make sure no other media server software is running.
Make sure that no other program is listening on the relevant port for the Media Server and for the Screen Server. If the computer running the TVersity server has more than one active network interface, you need to make sure that the the TCP binding order on your machine is such that the network interface on which it is supposed to communicate with the media player typically your Local Area Connection appears first. Note that both VPNs and virtualization software like VMWare add virtual netrwork intefaces and therefore in such a case you do have multiple network interfaces from Windows point of view.
More information is available here and here. Make sure your router allows multicast traffic. Some routers block certain types of multicast traffic traffic over a wireles connection even when they are configured not to do so, therefore try using a wired connection at least for testing purposes and see if it helps. Frequent disconnections in your home network could cause errors with some media players from which they cannot recover without a reboot. Try rebooting your media player or shutting it off and then turning it back on and see if the problem persists.
Try disabling it. If nothing else works, check the network equipment, a bad cable or faulty hardware is often the cause of this issue. Are you using uTorrent? If you are using some other P2P software, it may have similar settings, which will need to be disabled. Uninstall all previous versions of the software and re-install the latest one, then check again if the service started this is especially true if you initially installed the software on Windows XP and then upgraded your computer to Vista or Windows 7.
If none of the above worked, power users can try the possible solutions mentioned below, other may need to seek assistance from power users. If no errors are displayed and you do not get back to the command prompt it means that you successfully started the Media Server as an application. This means that there are some problems with the way the Windows service that corresponds to the TVersity Media Server is configured on your computer.
Please try again to uninstall all previous version and re-install the latest, this should fix the problem. If a message box was displayed with the error message "The application failed to initialize properly 0xc Click on OK to terminate the application. The solution they suggest is to re-install the latest Windows Service Pack and then restart the computer. For more information please click here. If a different error message is displayed please contact TVersity support with that message and a full description of the issue you are having.
The TVersity Media Server will not be able to access content on the network unless the Windows service that corresponds to it has a log-on account of an administrative user of your choice. This account is very limited when it comes to networking and therefore it is necessary to modify it to a different account that is not limited in that respect.
You can use your own account or if you prefer you can set-up a separate account for the media server. In addition to that the log-on account you configured MUST be able to access the network path without authentication, failing to configure it as such is the most common reason for this issue.
Please also avoid using mapped network drives inside playlists. If you keep getting an error message that connectivity to the server could not be estabished then please follow the steps below:. Make sure the server is running e. If it is not running then check this. This should open the GUI inside the browser, and you can now save this shortcut to the desktop and use it from now on to start the GUI. Please note that as explained above, this shortcut will work only if the server is running.
Assuming the server is running now and that you are currently reading this on the same machine as the one on which the server is running and assuming you are using the default port then clicking here should open the GUI for the Media Server and clicking here should open the GUI for the Screen Server. Some personal firewalls like ZoneAlarm may inspect all the data read from network drives and this could lead to such symptoms. You may need to adjust the firewall configuration or disable it for the brief period of time when network drives are scanned in order to overcome this issue.
Some devices request all the items under each folder. While this works well in most cases, it takes a long time to retrieve all the items under folders that have thousands, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of items. Devices that do that are typically doing it in order to sort the items in a certain way, however the DLNA standard, predicting the time such an operation may take, suggests that devices need to ask the server to do this sort operaton and provide a sorted result with the first few items of the folder only.
Additional items should be retrieved by the device while the user scrolls down the folder. Thumbnails are created the first time they are needed and then remain in the cache area. This means that the first time ever you watch a thumbnail page it will take a few seconds to appear but when you return to that page it will be instantaneous.
This behavior is similar to the way operating systems like Windows display thumbnails so it should be familiar to you. You can control the size of the cache area by modifying the server settings in the GUI, and you can also delete its content and reclaim your disk space when you need to.
Monitor folders for changes and automatically reflect these changes in the media library. Support more than one TVersity instance on the network with the Xbox - this is thanks to the fact that each instance now generates its UDN.
