5.x: "Unable to connect to Mediafusion server..."

[flynn]

I'm a long-time 4.x user who is evaluating 5.x. I clicked on Media Feeds and I get the following message:

"Unable to connect to Mediafusion server. Please check if your internet connection is active."

How can I debug this?

(5.0.55 running on a Thecus 5200 Pro (Linux).

Hi,

Did you manage to fix this. I have excatly the same problem running Twnokymedia Server 5.0.68 with a ReadyNAS NV+.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks

I just registered to try the internet radio feature inactive during the trial and got the same message. dug around and found no answers. Very disappointed. Can anyone shed some light here please ? Twonkymedia Server 5.0.68 with a ReadyNAS 1100.

See http://www.twonkyforum.com/viewtopic.ph ... 88&p=22854:

Install Twonky on your Win machine with the same license key and copy over the following files to your NAS:

• initial_keystore.dat
• mediafusion_keystore.dat
• mediafusion_keystore.dat_default

• mediafusion_keystore.dat_default

Hi, I did copy those files (except mediafusion_keystore.dat_default which I couldn't locate) to the NAS (Buffalo LinkStation Live at /mnt/disk1/share/twonky) and now I can configure the various options of Mediafusion. However, those modified settings are not stored in the 'database'. I guess the settings are stored in one of those menitoned files, not sure which one, however they are not persistent.

After pressing the save changes button I briefly see a message that the changes are uploaded to the Mediafusion webserver but that's all.

Any hint what's wrong here?

Btw, I've already tried to CHMOD the files with 0777 to no avail either.

Edit: Just noticed that the settings on a PC where I've copied those mentioned files from are not persistent either. So currently no chance to get the settings saved correctly.

What about SUPPORT here related to such a problem?

hi
I had the same problem
after copy the files

•initial_keystore.dat
•mediafusion_keystore.dat
•mediafusion_keystore.dat_default

I've got the same message
Unable to connect to Mediafusion server... again

I made a telnet to my Linkstation and checked the Internetconnection by pinging any host like

ping http://www.heise.de

that dosen't work.
the problem was the Nameserver
after editing the nameserverconfig with vi

like:
vi /etc/resolv.conf
on my linkstation
and ad the line

nameserver 192.x.x.x

it works

you can if you do not like the vi do it with the more command

echo 'nameserver 192.x.x.x' > /etc/resolv.conf

if you do not know your nameserver IP you can use the google nameserver
nameserver 8.8.8.8
echo 'nameserver 8.8.8.8' > /etc/resolv.conf
