PS3 firmware update and Twonky compatilbility

My PS3 got updated to firmware version 2.42 and now all my MTS high-def video files on QNAP NAS come up as 'Unsupported media'. I updated the firmware on QNAP to get Twonky 4.4.17 but makes no difference.

I see lots of discussion on this a year ago (looks like others updated their PS3 firmware earlier!). I have tried the various 'fixes' suggested at the time including ensuring the Clients/Security tab saying PS3 rather than Generic DNLA server plus editing the clients.db file to ensure the text tag says PLAYSTATION 3 but none of this fixes the issue.

Question for this forum; given that it has been over a year since this was discussed, is there a solve from Twonky?

Media server is one of my main uses for the PS3, having this not working is a real issue. Any help appreciated.

Thanks.
