Twonky Forum

Definition of 'hacking' is relative.

You'll need to 'open' up the Live with telnet first, make a few easy entries to put things in the proper place, then run Twonky's PRO NASinstaller (not Live). Directions are here:

Static addresses for lan/wlan, not wan.

MediaMonkey hasn't been stripping out my tag info from WMA to MP3. Give it a go!

Yes. And to load VTuner/Shoutcast info, IIRC.

Can you telnet to the NAS? Can you update that NAS to DLink firmware?

I don't want to sound ungreatful. But if you do not wish to answer my question or you do not know the answer could you please not reply. I already have 2 Twonky Servers (ok one of them is a old laptop, the other is a ASUS HDD) I am simply looking for another unit purely of video transfer. No one ca...

This isn't really a Twonky problem, but a hosed NAS problem. Short of contacting vendor, try hooking th NAS directly to a puter to troubleshoot, and I'd start by assigning a static IP on the NAS. The power outage may have bricked the NAS' OS, even if the drive spins up. No joy, then Im afraid it's o...

Is everything else still kosher on the NAS? (IP,gateway,etc.)

Contact support directly..this is a user forum.

Time to move on, I spent a couple hours messing with it, modified .ini file etc. I now show files on the server preview but my streamer still shows no files. Program looks great but, I'm not shelling out $40 for a broke program, guess I'll try back in a few months. Program isn't 'broke'...what does...

I believe you need to start from scratch..newer version don't have a user/password setup anymore.

Create a new playlist in your favorite music app (iTunes,Winamp,etc.), and simply place the url in the 'list'.

Currently Im using Artist Index to navigate through my Mp3's. The top level looks fine as i.e ABC However the next level should in theory contain one artist name example Bryan Adams, then list all my Bryan Adams albums underneath. The problem is that Twonky finds all the B artists which could look ...

Folks are having success w/ PS3, so maybe troubleshoot a bit with users before tossing the towel?

I am unable to make the changes to the ini file 'stick' ... Each time I restart the server, they get overridden with the previous version :( Any insights on this ? Patrick S. Exactly my problem,too. I chmod'd the file to 777 (I think,I guess), and changed enableweb, but then vista says basically ut...

Kos and others are right...one needn't be a linux-whiz just to get this feature running on a NAS. I envision a question-and-answer session in the installer: 'Would you like to enable web-access during this install?" (you must open port 9001(etc.) on your router for web-access). Surely it wouldn't be...

Two suggestions: Turn on logging and see if the filescanner is actually hanging on something, and lastly, it's best to severely limit the music tree in this circumstance..IOW Artist only for example. G'Luck!

The server must phone home to verify passcode...can your servers see wan?

If you use MediaMonkey, I believe it fetches album art w/o any additional input. BTW, hey fellow fatwalleter!

Do you also run iTunes? I've seen xml library backups do this.

Not a problem report, but a hearty thanks to you for taking the time to get us back and moving...I appreciate it immensely! You're a stud, no two ways about it!

dogbot123's How-To moved to it's own thread and stickied:

Extremely disappointed our post histories, with loads of answers and solutions, seem to be lost. I hope there was a backup, but I'm a realist.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the playlists need to be in the same directory as your tunes they point to..not in root. The AAC one is likely an auto-generated pls from iTunes, from it's xml library, which holds both music and playlist data. G'Luck!

Negative... this is a user forum. Official support is via email. G'Luck!

Can you please explain this in more detail?

In the Twonky configuration menues, select 'Sharing', click the 'Browse' button, and nav to the Winamp directory, then click 'Add new content directory'.

It could be just me, but my wma's aren't showing up after several rescans...mp3's are fine. Anyone else?

Even though PS3 streaming isn't 100%, Twonky itself is. Christian will refund your money if Twonky doesn't meet your satisfaction and needs, so you just can't lose either way.

Let me echo that... BETA versions are designed for testing. The people taking the time to "whine and complain" are sending feedback to the company so the product can get better. Much better that than removing the product and moving on. Yes and no. This is really a user-based help forum, not officia...

Folks-There is obviously an issue with the beta wrt Macs. If you are the sort of person who's risk-averse, by all means do NOT run beta's on Macs and whine/complain when things aren't cozy. If you want to improve support for Macs wrt Twonky, then simply run beta's with the expectation that things WO...

Locking this thread as off-topic.

Try rebooting your router?

My playlists are simply in a folder called 'playlists' in my library...they are all .m3u's, although I believe .pls work as well. Make sure Twonky can see them in your library, where it routinely scans (ie. put them there).

1) music only
2) PC-Windoze
3) 2 Roku M1000's

Dream of a day when NAS is hackless and foolproof.

Think mp3 versions of blog/radio segments...value-added by the ability to timeshift/portability ala TiVo. Sort of exciting since it's relatively new(like mp3 compression when it first came on scene), but with info overload and certainty of competing technologies in the future, it will transition int...

Cuz it's geekie!

Those with issues should toggle the RTP setting to see if it makes any improvement.

Smooth sailing here..but I delete each older version and have the XP firewall relearn each new version.

Before I switched to Roku's...I ran with RTP enabled, and found it worked better that way.
