aht961 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 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.

EdgarWallace Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 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. Link to comment
EdgarWallace Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 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. Cheers Oliver 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? Link to comment
