You can activate this PPA by typing the following command into your shell:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:moonmaker/twonkyserver

Problems with ffmpeg in Ubuntu 14.04/14.10
The transitional ffmpeg package has been removed from trusty/Ubuntu 14.04 and will return to the official Ubuntu repositories with Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet. But you can use Kyril's PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kirillshkrogalev/ffmpeg-next
sudo apt-get update
Problems with installation process
Sometimes it happends, that the installation process stopped a message like "/tmp/twonky folder already exists" and it is not possible to install the package. So, please use the following steps:
Remove the tmp folder with rm -R /tmp/twonky
Remove the package sudo apt-get remove twonky*
Install the package again with sudo apt-get install twonkyserver
Good luck! ;-)
