Twonky Server not working

IULIU

Hi, after a power outage, Twonky Server is not working anymore - the 9001 page refuses to connect and on dnla tv the nas appears with a broken directory.

Googling the issue, i see i must delete the ram_bin/usr/local/dmsf/conf/twonkyserver.ini file.

When i use WinSCP logging as root and admin password and using both SFTP and SCP, i can not delete the files as i get the "General failure (server should provide error description).Error code: 4" error (in SFTP).

I would really appreciate some assistance. Ty.

Have you looked at the timestamp and content of that file? Looking at the path it seems to me it's inside a readonly mounted filesystem blob. So it can't be deleted without much effort. Nor can it get corrupted.

Ty for the anawer.

The timestap is 02.jan.2024 dunno if it is relevant. Editing the files shows what it this files should contain like as attached.

"Looking at the path it seems to me it's inside a readonly mounted filesystem blob" -Are you sure? - have no idea what u mean by readonly mounted filesystem blob.

Again - i can not delete it with WinSCP.

At least it tells the file haven't changed since then. And when I'm right about the filesystem blob, it means your firmware was compiled on that date.

That looks like an valid wide-character text file shown in a viewer without wide-byte capability.

have no idea what u mean by readonly mounted filesystem blob.

There is one big file on partition 1 of disk 1, which contains a filesystem on it's own. Think about it as a virtual read-only USB disk, or something like that. That is mounted on /ram-bin, and contains the majority of the firmware, like the webinterface. And, apparently, Twonky.

Your twonkyserver.ini specifies a cachedir. You could try to delete that, and also look at references to other (ini)files, and delete them.

There is the same file in path usr/local/dmsf/conf/twonkyserver.ini file. So no /ram-bin.

This one still can 't be deleted. I am attaching it. As far as i can see there are no other .ini files referenced. Also the cachedir does not exist. there is no /i-data/.media folder.

twonkyserver.ini.txt

There is the same file in path usr/local/dmsf/conf/twonkyserver.ini file. So no /ram-bin.

Basically that is the same file, with the same problems. Technical story, the blob is mounted on /ram-bin, and then the /ram-bin/usr directory is bindmounted on /usr.

there is no /i-data/.media folder.

Are you sure? By convention files and directories starting with a . are hidden in Linux. Maybe you'll have to enable to show hidden files in WinSCP.
