Hey!
You can go to http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5735 and it will explain you how to enable TwonkyMedia Serve.
thanks but i have done that already it only works if you have twonky on your device already which i don’t i want a way to get twonky on so i can use that method thanks
You will need to rollback to firmware 02.11.09-053 as that contains twonky. Then you would upgrade to the newest firmware. You will then be able to switch between servers without issue. See my rollback guide

In the folder “Twonky Server PowerPC”
I keep copies of all known versions for the WDMBL
Note:
This is the longest I have seen the site down on the forums site where the downloads are located
it has happened in the past, hence why I started to archive the bits

yeh i hope so i don’t like the new dlna server wd are using you have to go through to many folders to get to where you want to be and mkv files shows the title and not the file name so can be hard to know what it is any work around for these and i would use it
no doubt, it has been a while
I have been slammed working on my current assingment
lots of political and technical challenges
and somewhat of a moving target

What version are you looking to upgrade to?
What version is currenlty installed, did you apply the patch to go back to 5.x from WD?
For reference, Im still using 7.0.9
-
since I heavily modified it
-
to me it is the most stable, and least amount of issue, in my use cases

Download twonky-powerpc-glibc-2.2.5-special-7.0.9.zip from my skydrive
Copy it to the root of you nas’s public share \mybooklive\public
Use the following script ( I changed the WGET to perform a COPY it from the Public Share )
/etc/init.d/twonky stop
cd /usr/local/
mv twonkymedia-5 twonkymedia-5.1.9
mkdir twonkymedia-5
cd twonkymedia-5
cp "/shares/Public/twonky-powerpc-glibc-2.2.5-special-7.0.9.zip" /usr/local/twonkymedia-5
unzip twonky-powerpc-glibc-2.2.5-special-7.0.9.zip
mv twonkystarter twonkymedia
mv /usr/local/sbin/writeTwonkyContentDir.sh /usr/local/sbin/writeTwonkyContentDir.sh.old
/etc/init.d/twonky start
exit
