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.
#Twonky server login 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? How can I change the media ‘views’ I see in my DLNA client?
#Twonky server login full size#
How can I get Twonky to provide full size artwork to clients, rather than crude thumbnails? 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?
#Twonky server login 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? What do all the settings in Twonky’s configuration file do? Q: How does the Twonky service work on the M圜loud? How do I control when Twonky rescans the media store? Why can people using DLNA clients see media in my private share? Can I stop Twonky searching in certain folders in my media storage folders? Where should I put my media so Twonky finds it? 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.
