Hi Tony,
Thanks for the quick response. First, the version of MyBookLive I bought has no preinstalled Twonky. I know there is a process to install the old version of Twonky (version 5), but I have been told it has limited support for MKV. Advice?
If your MBL didn’t include Twonky out-of-the box (it’d be version 5.1.9) then you can’t install it using WD’s patch without some work I won’t go into (you can search to find the “Trick” – it involves forcing a firmware downgrade.)
Yes, most certainly, other servers CAN be installed directly on the MBL. A lot of folks sprung for a valid licensed Twonky 7 and installed that, I’m not sure if anyone has ever done XBMC (but I wouldn’t be surprised.).
You’ll have to weigh the pros/cons of voiding your warranty (since making system modifications can void it) and go from there.
