Hi, I am using twonky on my western digital home so I can watch movies on my playstation 3 that are on my wd (Lan). Everything works perfectly but I can only open the files in '/Shared Videos'.
Now I also want to open files in '/DataVolume/Films' or 'root/Films' so I don't have to copy everything to the Public folder and I can keep everything organised.
How can I do this?
Thanks

according to a thread in the WD Support forum (i dont' know if I can post the link), this is the solution, by NAS-T

The problem is that Twonky has a base directory that it automatically prepends to any directories you add. Fortunately, you can change this base directory fairly easily by issuing a command through your web browser.
If you type the following into your web browser's address bar, it will change the base directory:
http://<NAS>:9000/rpc/set_option?contentbase=<baseDir> where <NAS> is the name or IP address of your ShareSpace and <baseDir> is the share you want to use (including /DataVolume/ at the beginning of it).
For example, if your NAS is at 192.168.1.10 and you want to change the base directory to Download, type:
http://192.168.1.10:9000/rpc/set_option ... e/Download
The browser will respond with a white page that simply says "/DataVolume/Download" which indicates it was successfully changed. Once you see this, go back to the maintenance section of the Twonky config, rebuild the database, and restart the server.
Then, any share that you add to Twonky will be based off the Download share, not the Public share. So, a Twonky share of "Pictures" will come from Download/Pictures, not Public/Pictures. If you click the Browse button, you'll see the directories within the Download share.

I tried and it works.
