Twonky and HD spin down: Hint!

Post by mspinolo » Fri May 16, 2008 10:05 am

I have a Asus WL-700Ge with Twonky 4.4.5 installed and a PS3 as a client.
This router has an internal HD which is put in sleep mode after some time (you can disable this function but it obviously better to have not the HD spinning the whole time if you are not using your router).

If the HD is in sleep mode it seems PS3 can't recognize the proper file format: it displayes "unsupported file format" and even trying to force playback doesn't work. Solution is or to reboot the router or to connect with another client and awake the HD.
Maybe it is possible to add a feature to twonky such as when a client connects it tries to access the HD in order to spin it up

my Synology LS does not spin down since I installed the Twonky server. Worked flawlessly before that.

Does anybody have any idea what to do?

Changed rescan from -1 to 0 (zero). Spins down perfectly now. Will rescan manually if necessary.

Just in case anybody has the same problem.
