Server stops responding after sleep

Post by matt_w » Mon Dec 20, 2010 10:05 am

Hi, I'm having real trouble getting twonky to run in a stable manner.

I'm running a pretty much clean Windows 7 on a miniITX PC with last weeks latest version 6.0.28.

Firstly, If the PC goes to sleep after it resumes Twonky is often hanging. The server no longer reponds, however three process appear to be running, twonkymediaserverwatchdog, twonkymediaserverconfig and twonkymediaserverconfig. The Twonky service needs to be restarted for it to work again (at which point it drops and rebuilds the database).

The log file will not update after resume, but has the last lines showing from before giong to sleep.

Secondly, Another weird, maybe unconnected thing is that right clicking the taskbar twonky icon and selecting media server settings takes it to the wrong port, 9001 instead of 9000. Manually changing it works for that session. Twonky support said:
"Go to 'twonkymedia-server.ini' file placed under 'c:\Program Files\TwonkyMedia' folder. Open this file and find the variable 'httpport=' and set it to the port number you want to use.", I could not locate this file but instead found it in C:\ProgramData\twonkymedia, adding this value makes no difference.

Any help would be very much appreciated.





TwonkyMedia version = 6.0.28
Server hardware = Atom 1.6
Operating System = Windows 7 Enterprise
If you are running as a system service (Windows only) = Yes
Client(s) and their software version = Multiple
Type(s) of media you are having problems wit= All
How many files you have in your database = approx 40k
Network type (Wired/Wireless) = mixed
Other items on your network (Router make/model for example) = na

Hi all,
I think having the same problem.
Twonky 6.0.30 runs as a service on WindowsHomeServer (WHS) quite fine.
To save energy "LightsOut" Add-in (http://addins.home-server-blog.de/verwaltung/lightsout/) is running on my WHS.
When all clients shut down, the WHS goes to standby S3 mode. (Re-)Starting a client, the WHS starts (Service is running).
BUT after awakening I can't connect to the Twonky-UI via browser.
To restart the Twonky server I've to stop the service an reactivate it by C:\Programme\TwonkyMedia\twonkymediaserverwatchdog.exe -serviceversion 0.

This problem is new on TwonkyServer v6, the previous version v5 worked fine and waked up properly.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I've also updated to the latest version, and it is the same. After resume the server is often no longer responding.

Twonky support insists it is tested on windows 7 but so far all replies have not actually fixed or really addressed the issues. I've chased them again (no reply to email from before Christmas), I'll send some update depending on what I hear

Regarding the server port I was told to stop and start the server... I guess they think that a reboot was not good enough. Still no joy though :(
