Is it possible to update the Twonky server

Recently bought a WD MyCloud drive and using it via the Soundtouch App and built in Twonky Server.

However, I’ve also tried the most recent version of the downloadable Twonky server on my PC and it just has features that the built-in version is sorely lacking - like changing album art resolution and being able to organise audiobooks and menus properly. As far as I know, I can only use this version on my PC, requiring me to leave it on, which is obviously why I wanted a NAS drive in the first place.

Is it possible to get a more recent version of the Twonky server working with the MyCloud? Any help is appreciated, cheers!

If you use the forum search feature, magnifying glass icon upper right, you’ll find this issue has been discussed in the past. The short answer is maybe one can update Twonky. Here are just a couple of past discussions with mixed results:
