Twonky Forum

Hello,

I've been trying TMS for Mac during the last couple of weeks, and it has exceeded my expectations in many ways. Unfortunately, I have run into a troubling problem.

I've wanted to try a couple of other upnp servers (media tomb, eyeconnect, etc) before buying a license for any single product, but the only server that shows up is TMS. Strangely, the TMS server is displayed in my video library panel even when the server is completely disabled on my mac, and even when the xbox is physically disconnected from the network.

Other upnp media servers are able to start successfully on my mac, and even detect the xbox 360 on the network, but the xbox is only able to find TMS.

I'm running Mac OS 10.5.6, I'm using a linksys wrt-54gs with open-source dd-wrt firmware (upnp enabled), and I have the latest dashboard update for my xbox.

Has anyone run into a similar issue before? If so, how may I resolve this?

I'd greatly appreciate any assistance with this matter.

The 360 has a habit of keeping network entries hanging around even if they're not available any more. Seems the only way to get them to drop is by brute-force proving to the system that they don't exist any more.

Try this:
Shut down/uninstall the Twonky service from your media server machine.
Try to connect to the Twonky service from the 360.
Let the 360 time-out (1-2 minutes).
Say no to checking network settings, just go back to the video panel.
The Twonky entry should disappear after a few seconds.
Now try running the alternate services and check if the 360 sees them.

In my experience, doing pretty much exactly what you are, my 360 didn't like having more than one media server available. Probably has something to do with them all originating from the same IP.
