Twonky Server problems and settings - duplicate music tracks listed

The only thing that has changed is that I have started using Bubble UPnP for FLAC playing sometimes

That might be the problem (as you seem to suspect).

Make sure you have the Bubble local media server disabled; it may well be that your clients are seeing the Twonky Server and the Bubble server, and offering you both copies, using certain of the DLNA ‘views’.

Bubble settings:

Settings/Local Media Server/Enable

Make sure this is unticked to stop it revealing its media server to external clients.

make the settings recommended by cpt_paranoia (mv writeTwonkyContentDir.sh writeTwonkyContentDir.sh.old) to prevent my settings being overwritten

I’d suggest the /etc/contentdir mod is the more effective, or less intrusive to the system.

I’ve modified the MyCloud startup script to pull a copy of this from a folder in a share, so that it all starts up tidily. I shut down Twonky first, then copy the files across, then restart Twonky, all in the startup script.

I’m also interested in upgrading to a newer version of Twonky if anyone has tried it yet and can advise…

WD My Cloud & Twonky Server

Hi, This drive is awesome for now, everything works smooth as i like, but i have one issue with my DLNA server. I have new Samsung TV SUHD UE55JS9002 Series 9 which is running on Tizen OS. There are no subtitles when i stream movies over DLNA, with the current version on the WD firmware which is 7.2.9-6_7.5.0-77. However, i installed trial version of the newest Twonky Server on my laptop just to see if the problem will go away, and voila, the problem goes away with the newest version of Twonky…

I set the file types to music and photos (for artwork)

You shouldn’t need to add ‘Photos’ to the media types to make artwork visible in DLNA music players. Only select pictures if you want to be able to browse artwork as a distinct collection, using the Photos or Picture browser of DLNA clients.
