Hi,
This drive is awesome for now, everything works smooth as i like, but i have one issue with my DLNA server. I have new Samsung TV SUHD UE55JS9002 Series 9 which is running on Tizen OS. There are no subtitles when i stream movies over DLNA, with the current version on the WD firmware which is 7.2.9-6_7.5.0-77. However, i installed trial version of the newest Twonky Server on my laptop just to see if the problem will go away, and voila, the problem goes away with the newest version of Twonky Server (8+ version). Same drive, same movie, same subtitle, everything’s the same.
Is there any good tutorial how to upgrade to the newest version, even if i have to pay for license, i will pay just to go away this issue. I’ve tried few of them but i got errors when i try to run the TwonkyServer.
Here is my current firmware: v04.04.02-105
Anyone?
Thanks.
UPDATE:
I managed to udpate TwonkyMedia to 8, and now everything’s fine. Here’s how:
You login via SSH and type this commands:
First, we stop the TwonkyServer:
/etc/init.d/twonky stop
Then we go to this directory:
cd /usr/local/
You’ll see twonkymedia-7 there, and what we gonna do is we gonna replace all the files of tonkymedia-7 with Twonky 8, but remember, make a backup of it, just in case, so next command is to make a backup:
cp -a twonkymedia-7/ /usr/local/twonkybackup
Next, we enter the twonkymedia-7 directory:
cd twonkymedia-7
Now we remove everything here:
rm -rf *
Now we download the newest version for firmware WD 04:
wget http://www.twonkyforum.com/downloads/8.2.1/twonky-WD_MyCloud_04.xx.xx-arm-8.2.1.zip
Next we do unzip:
unzip twonky-WD_MyCloud_04.xx.xx-arm-8.2.1.zip
And now we run the server again:
/etc/init.d/twonky start
Works smooth, no problems. Now you will need license key to buy.
