![]() ![]() The CPU in the NAS is just not up to that job! So, what was happening was that the Twonky Media server was trying to transcode on-the-fly into a format that it felt comfortable serving to my blu-ray player. After a quick SSH connection was established I could see that the process “ffmpeg” was pegging the CPU of the NAS. This probably would have carried on the for the entire duration if I'd let it.Ī few minutes later I became aware that the fan in the QNAP had started to run at its maximum speed. After about 30 seconds a 2 second clip of the video played before pausing for another 30 seconds. Although it showed up when I pointed the blu-ray player at it, when I tried to play the file not a lot happened. ![]() I received a video of a family event the other week and the file was in an MKV format (or container). I put it down to a lack of support from my blu-ray player but then I came up with a reason to dig deeper. It works well with DivX AVI files but it wasn't happy with several other formats. When enabled it allows me to stream video content from the QNAP to my blu-ray player and watch it on a decent sized screen. One of the features that comes built in with most QNAP devices is a UPNP Media Server, which is actually a repackaged version of Twonky. I do use it to store templates, ISO files and other software along with all of my digital media and documents etc. I don't really use it in my home lab for hosting VMs. Ok, so it's not really virtualisation related but I thought it needed writing down somewhere. ![]()
