I do not have a Gen2 device, so cannot provide support. Nb: these instructions are based on the ‘Gen1’ hardware and v4 firmware the Gen2/v2 device runs a different version of Linux, which appears more locked down. Experience with a Unix text editor such as vi or nano is assumed. Some Unix experience will help, but I’ll try to explain all the commands you’ll need. IMHO, it’s a bit off to make dire threats like this when you often NEED to SSH login to get the advertised services to work properly. Note the big warning signs about warranty. #PS3 MEDIA SERVER AUDIO OUT OF SYNC HOW TO#You’ll need to know how to use SSH to log in as root to the M圜loud: You’ll need to know how to use the Twonky UI browser interface to control Twonky: You’ll need to know how to use the WD Dashboard browser interface to control the M圜loud: Can I add my own category to the Music/Photos/Videos categories?

Q: Why does my media player not see certain types of media? Why does my media player not show the right track information? Can I replace Twonky with another Media Server? #PS3 MEDIA SERVER AUDIO OUT OF SYNC PASSWORD#Why does setting a Twonky access control password prevent the M圜loud from sleeping? Can I change to location of the ‘Shared Media’ folders? How do I stop M圜loud breaking the Twonky Server? Where can I find debug log files for Twonky? How do I clear Twonky’s database and start again?

How do I control the Twonky server properly? Starting the Media Server and Setting up a Media Library Ideally, we’d shame WD into doing a better job of integrating Twonky into the M圜loud, so it’s not such a struggle, and doesn’t require Linux administrator-level skills to make it work properly. This is to distinguish control settings and file system paths. Where I mention control settings, I use a | to indicate a level of hierarchy in the menu system. Feel free to investigate and confirm or disprove my observations… Where I am unsure of something, I’ll enclose it in. I’ll edit this first post and make corrections and add any FAQ&A that are added. If more expert users find fault in this FAQ, or have other insights to offer, then feel free to post comments. But I am stubborn, and determined to find out how to make the thing work the way I want it to. I’m not a M圜loud, Twonky or Linux expert (but I’m moderately competent). So I thought that, rather than trying to answer these questions individually, I’d try to write an FAQ covering the things I’ve found, and the problems I or others have encountered, and the solutions. I’ve spent a long time trying to understand how it works, and reading the forum, I see many other people also have trouble with it. Sadly it doesn’t seem very well integrated into the M圜loud, and the two fight for supremacy. The M圜loud includes a Twonky DLNA Media Server.
