Issue with PLEX Media Server

22 replies

Thanks for your assistance.

1. I have a situation where the Moment will go to the twonky server and find the tracks but the inner wheel of the mood wheel is blank (ie no mood data from the local DLNA collection). Is this therefore a gracenote problem, or a problem with the Moment, or perhaps a problem with the metadata? I haven't got the Moment to reliably get track data from plex yet, so am very interested in your profile.

2. Yes, I'm sure patternplay will work when I get all track data into the Moment... (it used to work until B&O upgraded the Moment software. They've now downgraded it for me, so I'm back to building the database again).

3. Thanks for the tip re the Various Artists. For some reason I thought the twonky server didn't honour the various artists tag.

4. How do you get the iTunes playlists into twonky? I see there's a playlist building capability in plex, but am not sure their playlists are recognised by the Moment.

You are welcome.

1. The Mood inner wheel issue is now known by B&O now, they should be working on a fix, we need to be patient.

3. Twonky relies on the "compilation" tag to group compilations under "Various" artist name, but the Moment has its own logic.

4. You have to (1) use iTunes to manage your music, (2) create static playlists - dynamic do not work - (3) point Twonky music shared folder to the iTunes directory and (4) modify the TwonkyServer.ini file to enable iTunes playlist awareness. If you go for (1) to (3) I can help on (4).
On my side, when I set PLEX as the DLNA server in the Moment configuration, no music is discovered, including playlists. But looking at the PLEX DLNA structure through the B&O App, I don't see any "Playlist" entry point either, so I guess PLEX playlists are internal to PLEX and accessible to PLEX client apps only.
