Twonky 7.3 making permanent traffic to api.twonky.com

[Tron04]

Hi,
my installation permanently accesses api.twonky.com with about 20kbit up/download per second

First request is:
GET /rest/micro/container?name=&tsin=PV01 HTTP/1.1

Then:
GET /rest/nexus/onlineStatus?tsin=PV01 HTTP/1.1

It does these two web requests in an endless loop, as long as the twonky service is running.

I then downgraded to version 7.2.7 and this strange behaviour is gone.

Any ideas? Bug?

I wonder if they are related to http://twonkyserver.com/
introduced in version 7.3
it appears to help those who cant figure out what ip twonky is running on
think about the nas's that come with it preinstalled

[Tron04]

Yes maybe. But check with a packetsniffer. The amount of traffic generated is really not normal and also permanent.
I now went back to version 7.2.8, which I found here in this forum (not yet on your onedrive).

By the way: Where does the V7.2.8 come from? Do you have some good connections to PacketVideo?

I only know of 7.2.8 from the release notes, not all builds are made available
in the past I asked them many times to include all release notes
as I like to know things =)

This is in 7.0.x

# media fusion server url Please Do NOT change it manually
mediafusionserverurl=http://my.twonky.com

Here are the settings I know that could/will generate traffic
I know that one could, change them to = localhost
cant remember if leaving them blank works or not

This is in 7.1.x

# media fusion server url Please Do NOT change it manually
mediafusionserverurl=http://my.twonky.com

# URL location for downloading device database updates
autoupdateurl=http://update.twonky.com/update.db

This is in 7.2.x

# URL to a web application for the online services configuration
profileserviceurl=http://profile.twonky.com

This is in 7.3.x

# URL to a web application for the online services configuration
profileserviceurl=http://profile.twonky.com

# Have Twonky Sever register its LANIP:PORT
# to enable devices in the home to find it via this url (twonkyserver.com)
twonkyserver_registry=http://www.twonkyserver.com

thanks for the tip on 7.2.8
I cant believe I missed that one, doh!

[phibertron]

I was doing some things with 7.2.8 and 7.3 and noticed this from a get_all

Code: Select all

http://x.x.x.x:9000/rpc/get_all

mediafusionserverurl=http://api.twonky.com

what s interesting is, its not in the ini file
it will work from a get_option
and returns http://api.twonky.com

/rpc/get_option?mediafusionserverurl

but it wont let you change it with a set_option
it returns PROPERTY NOT FOUND!

/rpc/set_option?mediafusionserverurl=

my guess it was forgotten about, or its there for legacy, maybe something to do with twonky beam, just a guess
.
