I have been testing the TwonkyMedia server with unRAid and it functions flawlessly, however, since the unRAid is run via RAM, nothing is saved after powerdown, accordingly I loose my settings and strat over scanning the directories for media everytime after reboot.

 

1) exactly which files (and on which directories) do I need to backup to FLASH disk before powering down the unRAID, so I do not loose my registration-key and the settings?

 

2) and after reboot, to which directory (on RAM) do I need to re-copy these files mentioned in #1.

 

thanks.

Nobody is using twonkymedia?

aht961, the same here; I´m using TwonkyMedia Server 5.1.3-dev

 

Nothing is being saved after reboot (however I like Twonky Server much more than Mediatomb - easier to install and all media information is shown on each client which wasn´t the case with Mediatomb).

 

Two files are important for the setup:

• twonkymedia-server-default.ini --> this is the default for the first start of the server
  
• twonkymedia- server.ini --> this is the file which is being created after the first start of the server

 

If you change the setup according to your requirements the second file is being adjusted - but in the directory /var/twonkymedia (..and this file is of course lost after a reboot...)

 

This is not a surprise at all. So I copied twonkymedia- server.ini back into the /boot/twonkymedia/ directory and was hoping that the server picks up the correct settings from here.

 

This assumption was wrong and I would like to understand what the issue is. I guess that this has more to do with my lack of Linux skills than with TwonkyMedia Server.

aht961, I solved the issue with a slight change of my go script. Here we go:

 

/boot/twonkymedia/twonkymedia -inifile /boot/twonkymedia/twonkymedia-server.ini

 

The beauty of invoking Twonkymedia server with the above parameter is that all future updates of your settings are being directly reflected in the twonkymedia-server.ini file on the USB device, hence not being lost after reboot.

P.S. I would be interested in having some more information about all available start parameters of TwonkyMedia Server. Any idea where I can find this?
