Twonky Media server doesn't detect new content

[matts360]

Hi all
Newbie here. Have a WD Mybookworld 2TB white light NAs. With built in Twonky media server. Up until latest firmware update for it, it worked fine (now on Vs 5.1.9). When I added new films to the folders on the NAS, the Twonky immediately saw the new content and updated its library to show it. Then I could watch across network on the PS3, lovely.
When I upgraded the firmware to 5.1.9, any new content never showed up on the server status folders, or when accessed via network.
The only way for it to seethe new content is to log into the Twonky via explorer and force a rescan or restart the media server.... Well annoying. Cannot locate any forums discussing this problem, and need help please as to what to do?

Am adding lots of movies and music, but am getting sick to having to do this work around to sort it out. Can i downgrade to previous version at all? will that help the problem>?

Please can someone make some suggestions, as I am getting sick of it!!

Many thanks in advance for all your help....

Matt

The version of Twonkyserver that runs on the WD Mybook line is specially configured by WD to restrict access to certain features.

Standard Twonky has a Rescan parameter that can be set through the web interface Configuration>Sharing. This is the text from the config screen-

This option specifies the rescan behavior of the server. If set to 0, automatic rescans are disabled. A positive value specifies the period between rescans of content directories in minutes. -1 enables the server to watch content directories automatically for new content without the need for rescans.

If you cannot access this page on your NAS then you may want to ask your question in the WD Mybook forum- http://community.wdc.com/t5/My-Book-Wor ... /mbw_world

This is a guess
But I assume that the different vendors are locking down administration of twonky
by setting this to 1 or 0

# access to web config pages, 0 for denied, 1 for local only, 2 for open
enableweb=2

Which usually also means that RPc commands are also blocked
for more about RPC commands here is an overview

But it may be worth attempt to see what it possible

If you sustitute <server_ip_address> with the ip address of your twonky server

http ://<server_ip_address>:9000/rpc/get_option?scantime

what value does it return?


# -1 for evented, 0 for disabled, positive value for rescan time in minutes
scantime=-1

One could attempt to change this value
by doing the following to set it to -1 in the example

http ://<server_ip_address>:9000/rpc/set_option?scantime=-1

But this is all dependent on if it will allow you to do this on the WD version
