I went in with WinSCP and found and deletetd the .ini in the ...etc/... folder.

Now it's working again. great. thank you.

I can only login using IE, not with my Firefox 3.6.*. Firefox works only if there is no password set.

Also other features as playing a MP3 doesn't work with Firefox.

I have just found this problem with using Firefox as well! Am not sure if it is after upgrading to firmware 3.3 on my 219P though.

Just to explain: I have just gone into Twonky settings to add another folder to the shared content locations list. When I press Save Changes in Firefox the authentication box reappears and even when I put in the correct username and password the box reappears - I try the same thing in IE8 and it saves fine.

First time I have ever seen IE work over FF

Have the same problem with Firefox on TS 410 3.3 firmware

Hi There,

I'm still having problems with the twonky link not working. I have tried everything suggested in the earlier replies, from
deleting the ini.default file to editing this file with winSCP to anything but -1. I have also tried different firmware updates.
All this and the link is still broken and my twonky won't start.

I have a ts 419p model and was running my twonky for about 2 months with no problems. I mostly use chrome to connect to
my nas and mediaserver. I also tried with other browsers since the start of this problem. Is there something I missed or are
there still any suggestions?

regards,
Driller

I'm also unable to access the Twonky configuration page. Tried all above including deleting both twonkyvision-mediaserver.ini in the .config directory as well as the twonkyvision-mediaserver.ini.default files.

Twonky itself is running fine - I can stream to the PS3. However I cannot change any of the settings. Just get a blank page when I attempt to access http://IP_ADDRESS:9000.

Any thoughts? Could it be the new firmware from September?
(TS-110 Firmware 3.3.3 Build 0928T)

I found a fix to the problem on my TS-419P where I couldn't access the twonky config webpage, it is caused by the system having two IP address on two Ethernet ports.

For some reason I could only access the config page on the 2nd IP (192.168.1.202:9000) addresses, even though the link in the NAS config webpage listed the first IP address (192.168.1.201:9000).

I'm running QNAP TS-219P in single disk mode with two 1 TB disks.

Enabled Twonkyserver and during the initial directory scan copied a new directory under qMultimedia. After that cannot access the server config page at my network '192.168.11.2:9000' address. Deleted the .ini files as suggested in this thread and others. Re-enabled the server many times to no avail.

I could access some directories through a Sonos system. However, not all the folders were shown and not all artist/album tag ids shown in Sonos.

Then I checked the twonkymedia-config.html and twonkymedia-config1.html files and noticed that there's <a href="http://192.168.11.2:9002/config">[QNAPNAS] TwonkyMedia configuration</a></body></html>

I'm a bit baffled by this. Whenever disabling and enabling the UPnP server, does it start it to a new port? I can access the twonkyserver config page at :9002 and not at :9000 (the link on the QNAP admin page displays :9000).

OK I just pick up a TS-412 and loaded it with 4 1TB Seagate's. Updated the firmware created to 3.5.2 Build 1126T. Created two new share folders Movies & TV Shows. Copied all my content to these folders. Went to the UPnP server page to set it up to use with my WD TV Live. (The reason I bought the QNAP) When I click on the link to enter UPnP Media Server configuration page I either get "service not available" on one of the IP's and Internet explorer can not open page on the other IP. (I have two network cables connected and two IP"s. This is a new unit first time setup what step am I missing.

I'm having the same problem as Niteman9. Bought a new TS-419P II for music streaming, set it up with a single 1.5 TB drive and found myself unable to get to the Twonky config page. The .ini file mentioned in earlier posts does not exist. Disabling and Re-enabling Twonky does not help. Any suggestions?

Hi,

I had the same problem on my TS-219P II.
My first advice is: don't edit/delete any file before you know which is the right one!
Here is how I fixed the problem under Windows:

1. Log-in on your NAS as admin via ssh (I used putty) to be able to execute some commands.
2. Open a SFTP connection to your NAS (I used WinSCP) in parallel to edit/delete files.
3. Determine which .ini file the Twonky Media Server uses:
type

Code: Select all

ps | grep twonky

in the ssh command line.
(The command ps gets a list of all active processes on the NAS and grep filters out all lines containing the text "twonky".)
4. Above command gives you something like this:

6624 admin 412 S /mnt/HDA_ROOT/twonkymedia/twonkymedia -inifile /etc/config/twonkyvision-mediaserver6.ini ...
8123 admin 4880 S /mnt/HDA_ROOT/twonkymedia/twonkymediaserver -inifile /etc/config/twonkyvision-mediaserver6.ini ...
19345 admin 568 S grep twonky
[~] #

As you can see, Twonky is using the .ini file /etc/config/twonkyvision-mediaserver6.ini.
(Make sure that the putty's window is wide enough, so that you can see the hole path of the .ini file.)
5. With WinSCP, navigate to folder /etc/config and double-click the file twonkyvision-mediaserver6.ini to edit it.
6. In the editor, search for

Code: Select all

enableweb=

and set its value to 2.
7. Save the file and restart the UPnP service.

I have been trying to fix this for a month now. I tried the original suggestion of deleting the .ini file. This did not work for me.

Instead, I followed the above suggestion and edited the /twonkyvision-mediaserver6.ini file. Mine was set to enableweb=1. I edited it using WinSCP by following these steps and changed it to enableweb=2. It now works fine.

NOTE: I am using the QKPG version of Twonky which uses the /share directory .ini file, however, I still had to edit the .ini file under etc/config folder (if that makes sense). I disabled and enabled the QKPG Twonky and it now works. No more 'service is not available' message!

[jccguays]

Hi everybody,

I would like to know if someone has a password and if it works, because when I delete the password field in the ini file it starts without no problem, but when I put user and password in configuration then I can't access to Twonky page.

Best regards

Nothing worked for me except this . I have the TS-110 and newest firmware and I could not find the ** ini file.

1. make a backup of your files.

2 reset the whole system (deletes all your data)

3 Install the oldest firmware on the qnap website.

4 Now twonky should work, give it a try.

5 install the newest firmware

Thanks this worked!
