Hi,
I am using Twonky on my WD My Book World Edition II.
I have logged in through WinSCP and try to edit the ini file (twonkyvision-mediaserver.ini). But when I open the file I can only see partial readable text and most rubbish.
If I open the ini file thorugh ultraedit I can see that it says UTF-16. I have tried opening the file with SuperEDI, but still no luck.
Am I doing something wrong?
Kind regards,
Anders Thingholm

Re: Cannot edit ini file
It seems to be binary. Is this right? Can I not change the ini-file then?

Re: Cannot edit ini file
You need to open it with something that understands UTF16.
Pico/Nano do not... Vi may do.
Sometimes it's just easier to make the changes via the web interface.

Re: Cannot edit ini file
Hi,
Thanks!
I cannot seem to change the ini settings through the webinterace. I only have access to a few different options - see this screenshot:

Re: Cannot edit ini file
If you know the parameter name that you want to modify then you can use the RPC functionality.
Go to http:\\<your-server-ip>:9000\rpc\set_option?<parameter_name>=<parameter_value> in your browser and it will update the ini file.
rpc\get_option?<parameter_name> will return the current value of <parameter_name>.
