Server changing it's own name
Posted: Wed Apr 18, 2012 6:19 pm
Hi All,
I purchased Twonky Special 7.0.7 yesterday to upgrade the Twonky 4.4 version that came with my Buffalo TeraStation NAS box.
Installation went absolutely fine and I could stream from it to all my DLNA devices.
But, after a while all my media devices would play for about 30 seconds and then I would get an error on the device saying 'Capture server unavailable'. The different devices did show slightly different error messsages but all meant the same thing.
It took me a while to find out what was happening. Whenever the streaming stopped, I re-scanned on the device to find servers and each time the Twonky server was changing it's name.
I originaly named the server 'Langley' (our surname). When I scanned with the DLNA devices they picked up the media server 'Langley'. When they errored, I re-scanned and this time they were finding 'myTwonkey Library at Langley'. I would then stream from there and it would all stop again. A re-scan then found 'Langley' again. So the name that my server was broadcasting kept flicking between 'Langley' and 'myTwonky Library at Langley'.
I have no idea why this is happening. At the moment, I have had to revert back to version 4.4 just so I can use it.
The other thing I noticed is that everytime the server flicked to 'myTwonky Library at Langley', it was a slightly different version of the files it was presenting. For example, I would add a new file to my library and when showing 'Langley', the files were correct. When it flicked to 'myTwonky Library at Langley', it would be the version before without that extra file.
Can anyone shed any light on what is happening and any ideas how I can fix it. At the moment I have had to turn off version 7 as it is unusable in it's current form.
