How do I access view-definitions.xml in order to edit it?

Post by panewman » Wed May 25, 2011 11:56 pm

I have a Western Digital MyBookWorld network storage device (TMS is the incorporated media server) and, in order to ensure that music files stored in Folders are played in their stored order rather than alphabetical order, I understand that there is an edit that needs to be made to view-definitions.xml. There is no TwonkyMedia directory in C:\ProgramFiles. How otherwise to I get to TwonkyMedia\Resources\views?

If Twonky is running on you MyBookWorld then you need to look there.

Thanks. However when I am in the MyBookWorld interface, Advanced Options, and go to media server, it takes me back to the Twonky interface where I cannot see any options for digging down into view-definitions. Any thoughts?

This cannot be done through the web interface. You have to log in to the MyBookWorld using telnet or Putty, locate the Twonky directory and make the changes there.
