XBox 360 and forced server restarts
Posted: Tue Jan 08, 2008 4:14 am
I have TwonkyMedia 4.4.2 running on a Linux-based NAS. (Can't upgrade to latest version due to the unusual way my NAS, a thecus n5200, needs software installed, and my own technical limitations.)
The Twonky server streams to my Xbox 360 fine, but if I don't use it for a day or so, the Xbox can no longer find the Twonky. As soon as I restart the Twonky server (not the Xbox, and not the whole NAS, mind you, but just the Twonky server, using the Twonky configuration web page) the Xbox can find the Twonky again and all is fine.
Which is to say, I have to manually restart the Twonky server every couple of days, which is OK for me but a problem for the rest of my family who know even less than I do.
Is there some obvious setting I seem to have missed? Is it a known problem? I see that the Twonky 4.3 release notes says it supports xbox spring release, which I have installed. 4.2.2 seems to support the latest xbox version fine, except for the restart issue. Is that one of the things that was fixed in 4.3?
As you can see, I have no idea what I'm doing, and could do with some pointers.
thanks
