What tree would I need if I maintain all my folders myself and I just want to browse by Folder,Artist, Album, then track numbers? Also, I tried copying the ArtistOnly trees over to my 209 last night but it doesn't seem to have made a difference. I did also rebuild the database. The Tracks are still being shown alphabetically, when I'd like them by track number.
Yes, I'd like to be able to do this too. I'm so used to using Folder under 4.4.17, that I'm thinking of going back to that QPKG

You could just switch Twonky view to 'Classic Media View'; I think that's about the same as you are asking for (though it does have all tracks and genre/song as well). Twonky has this view anyway and my current custom trees show the standard Twonky containers in that view, with the exception of the folder one which has folder sorted in album track order.
You don't need (not wish) to fiddle with the main tree; you can easily modify the 'shortcut' tree (simple.view.xml) using a text editor (Notapad++ is the best, but you can even do it in Windows notepad) to delete most of it from the current one:
Code:
<view name='simpledefault' path='simple.view'>
<navtree>
<container id='music'>
<link id='music/all' />
<link id='music/genre' />
<link id='music/artists' />
<link id='music/albums' />
<link id='music/folders' />
<link id='music/playlists' />
<link groupid='music/onlineservices' />

<container id='picture' >
<link id='picture/all' />
<link id='picture/folders' />

<link id='picture/albums' />
<link id='picture/keywords' />

<link id='video/date' />

Code:
<view name='simpledefault' path='simple.view'>
<navtree>
<container id='music'>
<link id='music/artists' />
<link id='music/albums' />
<link id='music/folders' />

Briain,
thanks, once again, that does exactly what I want. It puzzled me for a couple of minutes before I realised that you were talking about editing your xml file rather than the original, but it was easy enough to try.
Thanks also to Stewie for pointing me to Winscp which was easier to use than Putty and allowed editing of files on the NAS.

Hi.
A silly question. I am running Twonky Media 5.1.6 on my two QNAPs, T119P+ and T239. How do I update to 6.0.34. If I go to QPKG there is only the 6.0.33 version.
I think the quality of the music that comes out of the Linn system is great, really great, but there is a lot of data technical you have to handle. I am not so good of that thing.
Best

Hi Hamm
Twonky 6.0.34 has just been released by Twonky and thus Qnap have not yet built it into a QPKG (they'll want to fully test it first as it is they who will have to support the Qnap version of it). 6.0.33 is okay if you are using Chorus DS, Konductor, Bubble DS or Songbook, but it has a bug which makes it unsuitable if you are running Kinsky PDA or the beta version of Kinsky Touch. If you are running one of the control points I've mentioned as being okay, it's fine to install, but if not, I'd recommend waiting a week or two until Qnap release the 6.0.34 QPKG.
Hope that helps

Thanks Brian.
Am I doing something wrong? When I am in the Applications Service for the TS 119 QNAP, QPKG Plugins and browsing the location of the unzipped file "TwonkyMedia_6.0.33_arm_x19.zip" and then press install I just get the answer Installation failed.
What´s wrong?

Hi
First unzip it, then try again using the unzipped file; that should do the trick.

Thanks so much, Briain, for all this info: I've just modified the advanced view to a minimum setup I wanted (Album, Artist-Album, Folder, Playlists), and it works perfectly.
What I have found is that when I delete a playlist it continues appearing. Rather than rebuilding the database, would there be a simple way to just update the playlist database via Linux?
Kind regards

Sorry, I don't use playlists, but I do feel compelled to point out that modifying the advanced.view (as opposed to the simple.view) could result in your Linn system exploding for no apparently good reason. I just thought I'd better warn you, but don't worry about it, too much; yet!
