Having used the ‘share file with other user’ facility using the Mobile app (and the mycloud.com portal), I found that my Twonky Sharing settings had been modified. I had Twonky carefully set up to access my private /Media share, with distinct subfolders for Music, Pictures and Videos.
Having shared a file, I found that the Twonky share setting had been reduced to a single entry, at /Media, of 'All Media Types'.
Whilst sorting the mess out using the Twonky UI, I used the ‘browse’ facility to select the media folders. I found that I was offered the file I had shared, although this wasn’t in that file hierarchy at all.
Having spent an hour figuring out what had happened, and sorting it out, I managed to play the relaxing music I wanted to go to sleep. I was less than relaxed by that time, being mightily fed up with WD’s useless software products once again.
So, this evening, I went to remove the share, as it has now served its purpose. I did this using the mobile app, local to my network.
I immediately went back to the Twonky UI, and, just as I expected, the Sharing settings had been changed to the single entry to my root Media share.
THERE IS NO REASON WHY FILE SHARING SHOULD HAVE ANY EFFECT ON TWONKY. THEY ARE ENTIRELY DISTINCT FUNCTIONS.
@Bill_S @SBrown please pass this bug report to your development team. A fix ASAP would be appreciated. Don’t pass me to Support; this is a very reproducible bug: go reproduce it, and fix it.
