With help out of this excellent thread:

I have been able to setup Twonkyserver 7.09 on my unraid box. It was a very easy excercise and as far as I can tell it was more easy then the previous version.

 

Its not a plugin, so some linux is required.

 

The runthru I used is as follows, I have installed on my cachedrive.

 

1) Create .Twonkyserver directory on the cachedrive (under /mnt/cache)

2) Create data directory under this .Twonkyserver directory

3) Download twonkyserver for linux from the Twonky website (zipped file)

4) open zip and copy contents into the newly created .Twonkyserver directory

5) start .Twonkyserver by executing /mnt/cache/.Twonkyserver/twonkystarter

 

You can now access and use twonkyserver on port 9000 (http://tower:9000)

 

Nice thing is that you now can use it without a problem, should something go wrong, just reboot and nothing will have changed to your unraid setup.

 

Downside: after a reboot all your settings are gone. To avoid this, as soon as you are happy with the way Twonkyserver is running you need to copy the contents of the /var/twonky to /mnt/cache/.Twonkyserver/data.

 

You now need to startup Twonkyserver with the following command:

 

/mnt/cache/.Twonkyserver/twonkystarter -appdata /mnt/cache/.Twonkyserver/data

 

(this ofcourse should be added to the go script)

 

I will play around with it to see if it actually continuous to work, so work in progress !

 

 

/mnt/cache/.Twonkyserver/twonkystarter -appdata /mnt/cache/.Twonkyserver.data

Shouldn't that be:

/mnt/cache/.Twonkyserver/twonkystarter -appdata /mnt/cache/.Twonkyserver/data

 

 

/mnt/cache/.Twonkyserver/twonkystarter -appdata /mnt/cache/.Twonkyserver.data

Shouldn't that be:

/mnt/cache/.Twonkyserver/twonkystarter -appdata /mnt/cache/.Twonkyserver/data

 

Yes it should, thanks, I changed the initial post.

And it works like a charm !

 

I have one remaining issue:

 

Since I installed twonky not as a plugin but alongside the system does not kill the twonky process on array shutdown, and therefor the array is not shutdown.

 

The processid is logged cleanly in /var/run.

 

Anyone know of a way to have stopping this process a part of the regular shutdown process ?

I don't use it so I'm just guessing.  But since you are using "twonkystarter" to start it does "twonkyfinished" or something similarly named exist to stop it?  If so then when you want to stop your array you will need to execute that before you try to stop your array.

It is not a problem to stop it manually, I am looking for a way to extend the array shutdown command with the command to stop twonky ..

agreed, the upgrade path works as described. the problem, however, is that 7.x is a crappy dumbed down version of it's predecessors - most specifically, no controls over transcoding. back to 6.0.32 for me.

6.0.39 here.  Very stable running under unRAID

Is anybody capable of doing this as an unRAID 6 64bit plugin?  It would be great!  Thanks!

I am ready to have someone correct me, but I don't believe there's a 64-bit version currently available.
