Impact of recent changes.
Hi
I've just got around to upgrading Twonky to 4.4 (under Windows XP Pro) and I'm running 2 M1001s. I'm not sure that I like all of the changes I'm seeing.
One of my reasons for using Twonky was the flexibility in setting up the music tree, and under previous versions, I was more than happy to not see the Soundbridge menus and to be dropped straight into Twonky. I'd always wondered what people meant by "Browse Server Containers". And yes, I know I didn't get the big alphabet characters when scrolling through.
But now, If I want my Twonky structures I have to navigate through the Soundbridge structure to Browse Server Containers. No big deal I hear you say, but I'm guessing the readers of this forum, are, like me, prepraed to put up with a bit of stray techie stuff. But my "customer" in this case is my wife and family. They are not interested in whether I have a "server" and have no interest in "containers". They just want the nice simple structures I'd built for them under Twonky.
Is it possible to disable the Soundbridge menus as was done under previous releases.

Twonky guys - any chance? Can we get "disable search for Roku devices" back?
Thanks,

Hi,
i use a temporary solution for downgrading to 4.3.1, so i do not have to use this "feature":
- Download the old version:
http://www.twonkyvision.com/Download/4. ... aSetup.exe
-Install it and configure everything as you like it.
-Edit the twonkyvision-mediaserver.ini - File manually and set nosearch from 0 to 1
- Now make this file write protected for the server (however, while restarting the server, the value becomes 0 again, if you do not write-protect this file)
- Restart the server and enjoy. Please mind, that you have to give the server write-acces, if you want to change any option.
Cheers

Personally, i am very happy with the roku menu, because then you have the search function!
In the Twonky meny, you are only able to browse and use playlists and look into the folders. But no search function.
So i prefer the roku menu with search.
On a QNAP TS-101 which i use, there is a setting to activate or deactivate the searhc option/browse server containers via a weblink.

Hi Iana,
True, i agree, a choice is always the best!
The good news is, you can choose! On my QNAP i can activate or deactive the "Nosearch" option in the TwonkyVision server via a weblink. After i change the setting, the menu on the Roku automaticcly changes to your preferred view or with the search option and browse server containers.
On my QNAP i can do this with the following link, maybe this also works at your Twonky server: http://ip.of.nas:9000/rpc/set_option?nosearch=0
And then choose nosearch=1, then you get the menu you like.
I believe it is also possible to change this option in a .ini file, but i don't know which one that is.
I hope this helps you!
Good luck,
Andries

Swtich off Roku search
Hi,stricko wrote: Given that we seem to have a solution of sorts, at least for NAS, can anyone tell me if I could do this for Twonky running on WindowsXP?
just try the same with your WindowsXP version. Take the IP adress of your computer and build your own switch of URL
IP adress of your computer: 192.168.1.1
Port of your twonkymedia: 9000
than your URL is: http://192.168.1.1:9000/rpc/set_option?nosearch=1
To checkout the URL of your twonkymedia just test http://192.168.1.1:9000 and you should see the start screen of twonkymedia.
Ciao
