Identifying client correctly
Posted: Wed Dec 30, 2009 8:29 pm
May be someone else have a similar problem with twonkymedia?
On my QNAP 419p Twonkymedia 4.4.17 ist running. I have an Activy mediaplayer 150 from FSC and it works great with my old QNAP 101 where Twonkymedia 4.4.9 runs. Now I have a problem with the 4.4.17 version. After starting the mediaplayer, twonky will not recognize the player as activy media player - mostly the player is identified as a DSM-Player with following problems in functionality (thumbnails wont be showed, .mpeg forwarding doesn't work, etc.).
To resolve the problem I try to set the client manually by choosing the right player under the link "security/clients" from the dropdown list and disable the checkbox "Enable sharing for new media receivers automatically". This helps only for a short while. Starting the player next time, twonky recognize the player not as activy media player and overwrite the settings I have been set. Therefore I try to change the file mnt/HDA_ROOT/twonkymedia/clients.data manually to the right player. But this didn't help, too.
Some screenshots:
1. Entries of clients after manipulating manually:
2. The corresponding client.data file:
3. Changes made by twonky after restarting the mediaplayer:
Have anybody an idea resolving this problem?
