Hi,
I have managed to upgrade the twonky apps to version 8.3 with reference to the help from the below post WD My Cloud & Twonky Server and the revised procedural steps are as follow. However, the changes will be gone when the NAS is restarted. My testing so far suggest as long as you keep the NAS alive, no adverse issue found.
With my limited knowledge on the system, it seems to me WD has loaded the core apps into the memory or the read only file system, which then everything be reset back to the firmware default after restart. It would be great if other expert in this forum could help to shed some lights on this. Thanks.
