I have twonky server 8.5 installed on my WD My Cloud EX2. Here is the solution that works for my SAMSUNG BD-C6500 player. No disconnecting any more:

  1. Enable Secure Shell connections (SSH) on your WD My Cloud EX2 device. (Settings → Network → Enable SSH)
  2. Connect to your WD My Cloud EX2 (… or another server you use) via SSH. I use WinSCP for this task (WinSCP :: Official Site :: Download)
  3. Find twonky server configuration file twonkyserver.ini . It is located here on my WD My Cloud EX2 device: /mnt/HD/HD_a2/.twonkymedia
  4. Edit the file: twonkyserver.ini
  5. Find string: ssdp_beat_time
  6. Modify settings like this: ssdp_beat_time=3620 (default value was 1810 so I doubled the default value)
  7. Save the file
  8. Restart your twonky server

That’s all. It should work also for you.
