Twonkyvision
There are different ways to install Twonky onto the Linkstation
- The installer that comes with V3.1
- Frenchy's script from Yahoo Groups
Installer
You need telnet access enabled, so if you disabled it when you installed freelink, you need to
ln -s /etc/init.d/utelnetd /etc/rc2.d/S05utelnetd
Start NASSetup.exe and type your Linkstations IP then hit Send server- > NAS
Start the mediaserver
cd /etc/init.d ./twonkyvision start
Start and stop it at shutdown
ln -s /etc/init.d/twonkyvision /etc/rc2.d/S99twonky ln -s /etc/init.d/twonkyvision /etc/rc6.d/K92twonky ln -s /etc/init.d/twonkyvision /etc/rc0.d/K92twonky
Configure it on port 9000 on your Linkstation
