Remote Access

[mattyclarkson]

I have the following hardware:

QNAP 419P+ running TwonkyServer 6.0.30 with static IP 192.168.0.50
Philips WAS6050
D-Link DIR-615 with UPnP turned on

It all works beautifully together on my intranet. When I want to do remote access it breaks down. I'm new to all this so would be great if someone could help.

I can log on to my QNAP TwonkyServer via mydyndnsaddress.dyndns.org:9000

Then when I select the media viewer it shows me the three links video, photos and music.

However, these links then go to 192.168.0.50:9000/webbrowse/..... which is obviously not correct for WAN access.

If I replace the 192.168.0.50 with mydyndnsaddress.dyndns.org it'll allow me access.

How can I get the TwonkyServer to understand that it needs to link to the WAN DNS/IP address?

Also:

I can go into TwonkyServer settings and look at the flash Alpha that is in there when on the intranet. but even tho the link is http://mydyndnsaddress.dyndns.org:9000/flash it doesn't work from the WAN. I guess the flash is internally trying to connect to 192.168.0.50?

Thanks for any help,

Matt (Twonky Newbie!)

There is a section here on how to enable remote access
http://twonkyforum.com/viewtopic.php?f= ... ote#p32846

In a nutshell you will have to edit the following sections in your server ini
and then configure you router to port forward to twonky

for ex:

# enable https remote connections
enabletls=1

# dynamic dns prefix for remote access, including http://
dyndns=http://twonky.mydomain.com

# http server port for remote access
httpremoteport=80

# enable remote access
remoteaccess=1

Notes:

Do not use port 9000 for httpremoteport= as 9000 is the default port for internal access

If enabletls=1 then from the url to access woud be https://twonky.mydomain.com

If you have port 80 already being port forwarded, then use another httpremoteport=8080

Thank you, I changed the ini file in on my QNAP and it works now.

However. The flash player doesn't work, it says that it cannot connect to the server.

I can play my music via the HTML browser but only one file at a time.

Is it possible to get some software that will allow me to stream the music just like a normal music program?

Thanks

Matt

Not sure if this wil help with the flash problem or not
But its worth a try
You could try to make flash the default browse
by editing the server ini

# flash as default media browser for remote access
remoteaccessflash=1

I know searching in the forums can be painful,
but I do remember someone talking about this
ans they are basically addding the links or associating things with a player
not sure which one, trying to search right now, not fun
