xtrips Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Hello, I am running Unraid v.5b14 and Twonky Server v.5.1 which is a very old version. This version is suggested in somewhere in this forum and it works. Nevertheless I would like to know if a newer version is supported. I am asking because I already tried a newer version a few months ago and the experience was painful. I had to do some serious clean up in Unraid in order for Twonky to start working again. Thank you
S80_UK Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 I am running 6.0.38. And I have three instances of it running serving separate files with separate databases and with the web interfaces accessed using different port numbers (not really necessary but I use it for work as well as for home use and it helps in that regard). I am not sure what "clean up" you are referring to. Twonky only puts files where you tell it to. To avoid excess file access to my USB drive I have Twonky on my cache drive, and it is set up to keep the database and ini files on there as well.

Apparently, I used an old walkthrough to get my 5.1 version installed. Could you direct me to the right procedure? Which specific version of 6.0.38 should I download? My Twonky server sits on my flash drive. Is it just a matter of replacing the old files with new ones under the Twonkyvision folder? Or should I run a plugin? Thank you
S80_UK Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 You need the Linux build for x86 platforms from here... http://www.twonky.com/support/downloads.aspx I always download the manual installation package. You should regard this thread as a guide (ignore the later stuff regarding FFMPEG and transcoding - I don't use it)... http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=11758 In particular pay attention to the details regarding changes to the ini files that tell Twonky where to store things. Each line must point to a location that makes sense.
S80_UK Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 I should add, I am running Twonky under unRAID 4.7 - I have not yet tried it under the version 5 betas.
xtrips Posted December 19, 2011 Author Posted December 19, 2011 Well, I can confirm now that it works fine under 5b14. Thanks to you
S80_UK Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Good to know. I am glad you got it working OK.
