New 3TB MyBookLive

sunky · October 15, 2015, 1:55am

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!

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?

nfodiz · October 15, 2015, 3:43am

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

sunky · August 16, 2019, 9:06pm

this is what I get after copying the downloaded file

nfodiz · October 15, 2015, 3:43am

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 · August 16, 2019, 9:06pm

nfo,

Thanks again.

I have done exactly as instructed. pls see the snapshot, MBL is new; this is something I dont get.

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.

sunky · August 16, 2019, 9:06pm

yes i do

nfodiz · October 15, 2015, 3:43am

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

nfodiz · October 15, 2015, 3:43am

Download this file http://www.mediafire.com/?yfhh5qzg1vzl1yd

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

nfodiz · October 15, 2015, 3:43am

sunky · August 16, 2019, 9:06pm

You are the best nfo…always on point with your solution; appreciated.

2 for u

How do i make twonky scan for my files…i already clicked rebuild and rescan…but nothing happens
I have a license for twonky…how do I update my twonky to the latest one.

do you have a script i can copy and paste to putty to have the latest twonky pls

nfodiz · October 15, 2015, 3:43am

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

nfodiz · October 15, 2015, 3:43am
