Hi ALL,
I purchased a 3TB MBL which had WD DLNA pre-installed.
Apparently, Twonky seem to be a better option. I have a Twonky server license, however have no idea how to install Twonky on MBL.
Would anyone be kind enough to explain or perhaps provide a script I can copy and paster into putty please.
thanks again!
Instructions are provided in the release notes.

going to update option on my dashboard, selected to use the Twonky5MediaServerPatch.deb as the update file. The outcome of this an invalid package error.
Theare surely must be a way of installing Twonky…

Use WinSCP or a similar program and go to /CacheVolume and open the update or upgrade log file and see if you notice any errors and post them if possible.

Do you have a folder in /CacheVolume called twonkymedia or is it missing?

If the twonkymedia folder is missing from /CacheVolume download the file here and place it in your Public folder
Now in PuTTY
mv /shares/Public/twonky5.tgz /CacheVolume/twonky5.tgz
cd /CacheVolume
tar -xzvf twonky5.tgz
rm -f twonky5.tgz
Now try running the Twonky Patch again

It looks like from the second picture you extracted the .tgz file using a Windows tool or something?
Just copy the actual twonky5.tgz file to the Public folder. We extract it on the MBL using that tar command so the folder and files all have the proper permissions.

Sunky, do you have a twonkymedia-5 folder at /usr/local ?
From the logs you posted, it’s erroring out because it’s not finding a twonky binary. I just wasn’t sure which location it is looking for the binary at.

Hmm my folder has a lot more files in it. You want me to tar up my folder so you can try again?

Copy the file to your public folder
Now in PuTTY
mv /shares/Public/twonkymedia-5.tgz /usr/local/twonkymedia-5.tgz
cd /usr/local
tar -xzvf twonkymedia-5.tgz
rm -f twonkymedia-5.tgz
Now try running the Twonky Patch again

Wooohooo!
Do you have media serving turned on for your shares that have media?
If you do, try logging into the Twonky dashboard at your mybooklive ip:9000
Click the wrench icon, maintenance, rescan content directories
For your second question, there is a good guide I just have to find you the link
