Twonkymedia Server + Sheevaplug + NAS Samba share Help

[Deviant0ne]

I am almost sure this is a permissions issue, but I don't know how to fix it...

I am using a Sheevaplug as my Twonkymedia server; the plug only has 512MB of Flash storage so I don't want to write to the plug itself. All of my files are located on a 1TB NAS drive; the plug has write permissions to the NAS ('sudo chmod 777 /home/user/NAS/folder -R') but when I try to run Twonky and make it write the db files to the NAS, Twonky will write a few files and then die. If I let Twonky write to the plug (/var/twonkymedia), Twonky runs just fine. Again, I'm sure this has something to do with permissions, but I don't know how to fix it.

My network diagram:
Sheevaplug(Twonky server)->GbE->Apple AirPort Extreme->GbE->NAS.
The plug is running Ubuntu 9.04.

Thank you in advance for any assistance; I really don't want to move to another UPnP server, I already bought Twonky

I have a similar setup. However I switched to Debian (due to Ubuntu dropping ARMV5 support).

I have Twonkymedia running on the internal NAND, my media is on USB HDD, as is the media database. (using -appdata )

My database directory has the following permissions

Code: Select all

drwxr-xr-x  8 root  root       4096 Mar  4 19:27 twonkymedia

I tried changing my folder permissions to your folder permissions with the exact same result. I am not able to run Twonky at all. Again, the only way I get get Twonky to run is if the files populate on the plug. Any other ideas?

Could this be an issue trying to write across the network vs. trying to write across USB?

I was able to get it working; I was using the 'nounix' switch when mounting the drive in my fstab file. I removed said switch and it was able to build in the directory I wanted. Granted, I can't see any of my media now through Twonky, but at least it's a giant step in the right direction.
