Twonky Forum

Hi there, I've successfully installed the latest version of Twonky media server on a Buffalo Terastation Home Server. Everything was working well so I bought a full licence. However the next day I found I could not access the server from my Soundbridge. Looking tonight I'm finding that it stops responding via the browser interface after a period of time, maybe about 60 minutes. Checking a process listing on the Buffalo shows that ther number of twonkym processes has increased since I first started the server.

So when I first booted up the Buffalo (at 19:42) I have the following processes (via ps -fed):

root 855 849 0 19:42 ? 00:01:08 /mnt/array1/share/twonky/twonkym

In addition to the above I now (at 22:48) have:

root 15118 849 0 22:25 ? 00:00:00 /mnt/array1/share/twonky/twonkym

I think I'm getting an extra twonkym process each time I try to connect (unsuccessfully) via the url http://192.168.0.12:9000/config.

Has anyone encountered this before and can suggest a solution? Thanks.

After a day I have numerous twonkym processes and I've not been trying to connect via the browser; so there is more to this than just failed connections. At some point it seems to spawn a new twonkym every 1-2 minutes.

The only recovery i can see is to reboot the Terastation.
