Twonky Forum

No, sorry.

I decided not to buy TwonkeyServer but instead WD TV Live. It's only 80 EUR and you have much less pain! Really great! I really can recommend this device. DLNA really sucks (especially for large collections)

I think it shouldnt be a problem but i didnt try.

Im still running as root

Another question related to this: As I said I tried JPEG transcoding yesterday. But I could not find any convert processes. Today morning I saw that my server has been crashed. I found out that the reason was that the system drive was full. Twonky had about 30GB "cache" in /var/twonkyserver. There w...

OK If you insist that it is rebuilding (rather than just rescanning) the database try these tests- Yes, you are right. I tried it. But it does not become better: For testing, I deleted /var/twonkymedia. The result was a rebuild . I took about 1:30 hours !!! When I just restart Twonky, it is a resca...

Hi, I played around with transcoding in TwonkyServer and for the first time it clearly does not work. I have no clue how I can do debugging since I do not know what is exactly done when recoding. I tried JPEG, MPEG (ffmpeg) and Audio. For the first one: I checked [x] JPEG and have ImageMagick instal...

Hi, If this would be the case then there would be no need for UIDs != 0 and we're back to Windows 9x. For example, Twonky could have a security flaw which can be used by other malware on the same server/network in order to gain root privileges. Maybe I will just try to run as non-privileged user. I ...

Hi, It is a full-fledged Debian squeeze on a 4 core Xeon with 3.4 Ghz, 8GB RAM and a 2TB media disk. I just tell you what I observe: When I restart TwonkyServer: ./twonkymedia.sh stop ./twonkymedia.sh start I go into /config -> Server status I get Last database change: In Progress... [+/media/data/F...

Hello,

Hmmm

For security purposes. Running such a process as root is really dangerous.

Although running in the own network...

Hi,

Is there any way/information on how to run the TwonyServer in linux as non-root user?

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I do not fully understand you - what do you mean by rebuild and rescan? The main problem is that the server can not be (fully) used until the disk-scan has finished. I measured now: It takes exactly 30 minutes (!) on a very powerful server system: Dual Xeon with two cores ...

Hi, Is it really true that Twonky rebuilds its database everytime it is restarted?? This can't be the case - it takes up to one hour to scan the disk. Is there an option to preserve the database? Or even better: Diable the database completely? I only use the directory listing so I do not need any da...
