Hello,
I’m a new owner of a My Cloud. In the past I owned an Iomega Network Hard Drive, but
it didn’t work out - too many problems! So I do have experience with Twonky 6. Installation
of the My Cloud was successful. I even did a firmware update today.
Just as with the Iomega drive, I have a problem with Twonky registration
(0 days left in the trial version) Under Media Receivers I see 2 entries:
192.168.2.100 Generic Media Receiver (Windows 7)
192.168.2.101 Twonky NMC
With Iomega I could change 192.168.2.101 to Iomega NAS and the Twonky server
would register. However, for My Cloud I don’t know if Twonky NMC is correct. The
closest WD selections are:
WD TV HD Live Media Player
WD TV Live Plus
WD TV Live Hub
No selection for WD NAS!
Could someone suggest how to get Twonky 6 to register the My Cloud?
I had hoped this drive would come with Twonky 7, but it didn’t.
Thanks
Twonky 6 isn’t a Media Recevier. It’s a Media SERVER.
So I’m unsure of what you’re trying to do.
I also don’t understand what you mean when you say you’re seeing “0 days left in the trial version.”
The My Cloud NAS ships with Twonky 7.2.6 and is not a Trial Version – it’s fully licensed.
Hello,
After I installed My Cloud and rebooted my computer, I was presented
with a new icon in the taskbar (called Twonky Media). In the past, this icon was also
present after an Iomega drive installation. You can choose "media server
settings" and it will open a browser and present you with various Twonky
settings including the listed current version ( that’s why I said I have version 6).
One of the available lists is Media Receivers. I tried to change this list because
the Twonky status page stated “yout trial version has expired”. Iomega’s past
instructions were to change the listed media receivers in order to complete
Twonky registration.
With your comment in mind, I wonder if the icon in the taskbar should even
be present !? I had removed all Iomega software before I installed My Cloud,
but I had not rebooted. Is it possible that a remnant of Twonky 6 remained and
reinstalled with the My Cloud installation? Should I reinstall from scratch?
Thanks
The my cloud software install doesn’t do anything at all with Twonky on your PC. I would guess it’s a remnant of Iomega software that’s confused.
Hello,
SOLVED!
I cleared out all Twonky folders and registry entries and completed a reinstall
of My Cloud. Now, there is no Twonky icon in the taskbar. Everything seems fine.
I will test the mobile apps next week.
Thanks
