Major Issues in Version 5. Upgrade Path? Import? Manual?

Post by jayorke » Tue Dec 30, 2008 7:47 pm

I'm thinking of upgrading from version 4 to 5 but I don't see how to easily do it.

All of my media is in folders /srv/media/audio/{Artist}/{Album}/*, /srv/media/videos/{Type}/*, and /srv/media/photos/{Event}/*. I spent a long time editing entries to get them all listed in the previous version of TwonkyVision and I don't see any way to get everything loaded back in again.

ISSUES:
- No upgrade path.
- Media scan of /srv/media does not pick up any of the media in the subdirectories.
- The /srv/media partition is large but by default Twonky 5 wants to import into /root/.TwonkyMedia which has little space.
- I can't find the interface I used to use to edit items in the media database (i.e. remove an uploaded item or edit properties).
- There is no manual to be found on the new "improved" website.
