Problem: twonkyvision-mediaserver.ini configuration file

Alfers · Post by **Alfers** » Wed Jan 02, 2008 8:53 am

I just installed version 4.4 on my D-link DNS-323 NAS and most of the features seem to be working fine. It is used to serve my client PS3.

One problem I seem to be having is with the configuration file (twonkyvision-mediaserver.ini). Each time I restart the server, the configuration file goes back to default, so all the changes I made are lost.

Any one here have any ideas?

Thank you.

Linux (I used the installer for D-link DNS-323)
Clients: Playstation 3 firmware 2.10
Medias play fine
Over a thousand files in the NAS (don't know how to check how many is in the "database")
Wireless network

I had this problem.

I worked out (or more guessed) that the server wasn't looking in the correct place for the ini file when initialising, but was then saving the resulting defaults to the correct place over the top of my settings.

I fixed it by editing the init shell script twonkyserver and commenting out the bits that optionally set $WORKDIR to $WORKDIR2. I made it always equal to $WORKDIR1, which is set to my TwonkyVision directory where the ini file is.

Maybe not the correct solution, but worked for me

I have the exact same problem. And Gift, I would love to give your solution a try but wouldn't know where to find this init shell script. Maybe I haven't got one? Could someone please be more specific. Thanks.

I am running TwonkyMedia version: 4.4.3.1 on a Synology DS-107+.

Hi!

I had the same problem and testing with different parameters (-inifile and so on) or the script didn't work. Try to set "treetype" in "quickstartup" to "custom". I read this in another post and this worked for me. Before doing so no settings were saved (naming, musicnode and so on). I think this may be a bug, because 4.4.2 had another behaviour.

Good luck, Peter

It's actually setting 'Navigation Tree Setup' to 'custom' under 'First Steps' (for anyone else who'll start looking for this).l

But hey, that did the trick! Thank you!
