Lacie Twonky 4.2l works locally but not through internet

I have my Edmini V2 configured with the adminpage to allow twonky to be configured and this seems ok streaming music locally but when you try it over the internet from work, the music pops up the player but never starts.
I viewed the web source and it refers to the local ip address for everything.
Should it not be referring to whatever URL I address it as from work ?
i.e.
http://myedmini.co.uk:9000/ blah....
not
http://192.168.8.202:9000/ blah...
I have tried updating to v1.1.1 firmware for the Edmini and this stops my Freecom media player35 from accessing the shares on the Edmini ???
Also two other computers can no longer access the shares so I had to revert back to v.1.0.8 firmware.
Any ideas ? about the local ip problem or even the shares problem with v.1.1.1 firmware ?
Cheers
Daz

I'm running Twonky 4.4.3 on a LaCie Ethernet Big Disk NAS... and was having the same problem. I know this isn't the best solution, but I wrote a quick Grease Monkey script in Firefox that swaps out the IP addresses.
Obviously this will only work for the computer you have it installed on, but if you access it from the same outside computer (aka your work computer) then this solution can be a nice band aid in the time being.
Code: Select all
// ==UserScript==
// @name Change IP Address
// @namespace twonky
// @description Change Twonky IP Address
// @include http://11.222.333.4:9000/*
// @exclude http://11.222.333.4:9000/setup.htm
// ==/UserScript==
var links = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
link = links[i];
link.href = link.href.replace('192.168.1.150', '11.222.333.4');
}
var imgs = document.getElementsByTagName("img");
for (var i = 0; i < imgs.length; i++) {
img = imgs[i];
img.src = img.src.replace('192.168.1.150', '11.222.333.4');
}
11.222.333.4 would be your public IP address
192.168.1.150 would be your internal IP address
I'm hoping that LaCie releases a new version of Twonky for this product, but in the meantime, enjoy.
Twonky 4.4.3 install on Lacie Ethernet Disk mini install ?

Anyone know how to install 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 on a Lacie Ehternet Disk Mini? I have seen that some of you have done this with ssh?
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Frambo,
4.4.3 is contained in the latest firmware release on the lacie website, 4.4.4 you can get as a patch (and install through the admin pages), contact lacie support to get the 4.4.4 patch
cheers,

Applied 4.4.4 patch, but Twonky no worky :(

Okay,
so why does this not work..
I applied the 4.4.4 patch on the newest Lacie 1.1.2.1 firmware.
I've forwarded a port (9100) to the IP:9100 of the Lacie in my router.
I've added the prefix "http://(myowndomain):9100", but I cannot connect. when I used the old way with a greasemonkey script it worked fine, so I know the port forwarding should not be a problem.
I'm beginning to suspect that the Lacie EdMini v2 does not allow other ports other than port 9000 for connection to Twonky.
Anyone else have this problem?

Latest LaCie Edmini v2 firmware only includes Twonky v4.4.2. When I contacted them they wouldn't issue any patches as they said they will not release beta firmware. Think I'll have to try again as their firmware releases are few and far between.
PS
Sorry to the original poster in crashing your thread, just interested to know that some people have managed to get the newer version of Twonky out of LaCie.

So does it work for you?
If so what did you do to get it stream over the internet? (Except for using the Greasemonkey Script)
I still get the internal IP for playlists and I can't connect to any other port than the 9000
