Hi,
I installed the Twonkyvision Mediaserver 2.6 software on my WL-HDD according the description of "walt" in this forum (great work Walt!).
I access the server on my Terratec Noxon client. The server is listed on the Noxon and the usual NOXON functions for music selection of MP3's and WMA's works, and are played.
So far so good!
I experience the problem that after playing music for "some" hours the connection from the Noxon to the server is disturbed. I have seen no consistency in the numbers of hours it works.
When I notice that the playing istopped, the Mediaserver is still listed on the Noxon but selecting it does not result in the menu where Albums/Artists can be selected. If I check on my WL-HDD (using the backdoor) the processes with the "ps" command, the mediaserver processes are still listed.
Restarting the Noxon (by pressing on for >3 seconds for a Newstart, or by unplugging the power cord) does not change the faulty behaviour.
After unplugging and plugging the WL-HDD every is working fine, again.
I have checked the forums on Chupa and on www.mediaservers.com (extensive forum on Twonkyvision) for other clues, but found none that did the trick.
My first impression was that the automatic rescan was spoiling things, but I have have now disbled the rescan using the Twonkyvision configuration web page, but that made no change in the faulty behaviour.
To have some debug info I tried creating a log file by changing in Walts Startup.scr
"mediaserver -D"
into
"mediaserver -D -v 511 >/tmp/harddisk/part1/System/mediaserver.log"
but this did not create the logfile as expected. I am not sure why. As I use the 1.2.3.0 firmware I can only use the "backdoor" and have no telnet access to the wl-hdd to run the mediaserver with the extended oprtions via Telnet.
Suggestions, anyone, please!!
