Playlist on e3000

I have set up the e3000 media server, and seem to be able to play my music to my TV and WMP , but cannot access any playlists except the smart playlists. I installed the latest twonymanager trial to see if it would let me create playlists that could be accessed by my TV. Even with twonkymanager I can't create playlists - it won't let me drop media into the playlist windows. I also appears I can't create a queue by right clicking a rile and selecting "add to queue"

How much of this is the Cisco -requested hobbling of the server and how much is a restriction of the demo twonky manager?

Is it possible to replace/update the media server in the E3000 to a full-version twonkymedia server?

I don't know, but I'll try to get an answer for you. Stand-by...

Here is what was said about this:

This is probably caused by the E3000 server having UPnP upload turned off. If that isn’t enabled, then it would have the same symptom since there is no way for the server to store the playlist from TwonkyManager. Unfortunately, there is no way for you to turn this back on unless the server’s config pages are enabled. It sounds like in this case Linksys has disabled them as they did on most of their routers.

I suspect there is a way to replace the server with a full-version of TwonkyServer 6.0, but I do not have instructions how this can be done. Maybe someone else on this forum has done this.
