runing TwonkyServer on a virtual machine

[Racerx]

Hello Twonky Forum,

i want to run the TwonkyServer on a virtual machine on Virtualbox. There i have the problem, that my mediafiles are located on the hosts harddisk and within the guest i can only mount the harddisk as a network share.

But here is the problem: I can't select the networkdrive i mounted (Z:\ (\\vboxsrv\media)) in the TwonkyServer configuration dialog.

Is there a limitation? why can't i select the drive( it only show's A. and C:)?

thanks for the help in advance

Have you tried just typing in the network location instead of trying to select it from the Browse dialog? I have just done this on my TMS 6.1 Beta installation on my Windows PC and it worked, although a Z: mapped to the same location didn't.

Try typing in \\vboxsrv\media on yours.

Hi guys,
how is performing TMS on a VM? I have a server with win 2003 64 and i cannot run tms 6. I was wondering if there are any performance degradation runnin on a vm.

Thank you
