How to enable remote access for Twonky Server 7.2.x
Posted: Thu May 15, 2014 1:09 am
Twonky Server might not officially support remote access in the Web Interface, but it is possible to get working.
If you have ever done a port forward on your router to the twonky server
and wondered why when you click on items or links, they wont display or play correctly...
For Example
the following shows one scenario that it is putting a local ip address in the url
here is another where the link for a video is pointing to a local ip
This isn't an issue when you are connected to your network locally,
but it is a problem if you are connecting remotely as those local ip links wont work as intended
The next few posts will show you what to change to make things work as you might have expected them to
such that when going to your server url for example twonkyserver:9000
you would see things like this
a url link use in navigation for example
a link to a video for example
NOTE:
even with all of these changes, this solution does not solve beaming from web interface
I need to work on code changes to a the beam.js and main.js to make that work
