Always Rebuild database with USB HDD

Post by longtom » Tue Jul 03, 2007 7:53 am

I have Mac 10.4.10 with Twonky 4.4 and an external HDD.
After each reboot of the MAC i have to do an rebuild of the database because the external files on the HDD are not visible!!!

Internal HDD files from MAC are OK!

Want to buy this sw, but this should work!

Can you be sure the USB HDD is visible and available before Twonky is started?

Also the same with network drives.
Either i have to rescan or even rebuild EVERY time Apple is restarted and there are changes in the files.

Is there any support out there?!?!?!!? :cry: :cry:

hi,

for now - before you restart you can only "uncheck" the removable devices on the shared directories.

Re-check the after the restart
