TwonkyVision UPnP Media Server
Version 4.4

What it is:
-----------
TwonkyMedia locates all music, picture and video content
in a directory tree and shares the files using the UPnP AV protocol.
TwonkyMedia is available for Windows, Linux, MAC-OS and a number of NAS devices.

TwonkyMedia enables all UPnP compliant client devices in the network 
to  Browse, Search and Stream the files. Such devices are typically
Media Receivers like the Netgear MP 101. But also PC software like  
WinDVD or WMP11 on VISTA can be used to access the server.
In addition to the local content the server also supports Internet Radio 
Stations which can be shared via the network!

Also we would like to thank Mark Gillespie for providing the nice 
Windows Setup we have from 2.9 on :-)


What's new in Version 4.4.2
----------------------------

Bug fixes:
- fixed thumbnails URLs are now offered after original URLs, so that simple clients
  which take just the first URL display full size images

----------------------------

Changes:
o support for webbrowse-js addon 
o support for XP/VISTA power safe modes

Bug fixes:

  use 932 for ShiftJIIS

  use -1 to disable all conversions and stick to ASCII
- path to app directory and ini file is now stored in the registry during setup
  this should fix the problem that license keys from the service version of the
  server are not found by the interactice one and vice versa
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TwonkyMedia\AppDir]
  "dir"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\user\\Application Data\\TwonkyMedia"
- if installed as service the twonkymedia icon now just launches the web config pages
  and not an additional server

  which caused either stuttering playback or hangups)

  TwonkyMedia runtime (TwonkyMedia.exe). 
  See http://flac.sourceforge.net/ and http://lame.sourceforge.net/)

  tags in various formats
