RE: [How to] change Twonky 6 menus (trees) in the new Qnap QPKG (and on other NAS's) - Cableguy - 2011-08-11 07:30
Thanks again, Briain. Twonky 6 is indeed different from the old 4 something I've been using all the time.

Everything went fine updating. The server is extremely slow though, compared to the ols 4.4.17... Anyone else experienced this?
When moving up and down in the library it can take up to 20 seconds for the controlpoint to show everything. For example, I go into Artists albums, this can take 7 seconds, then into a letter which takes another 11 seconds, then into an artist and this takes 1 second, then move up one level again and this takes 20 seconds....
What could be wrong here? I have tried restarting both the Qnap and the router, but the problem persists.

Look at twonky configuration page and check it's actually finished its database rebuild (in case it has 'tripped up' and not completed; that could cause Twonky to hog the CPU and thus slow things down). Also, wihout playing music or browsing the collection on your control point, have a look at the NAS resources usage and see if Twonky (or anything else) is hogging the CPU. Twonky will peak high when browsing etc, but it should settle down to a very low value after a few tens of seconds inactivity.
Incidentally, which model of NAS do you have?

Hi,
I've waited until QKPG has the latest version of Twonky before I installed your trees. However, when I start Putty, it allows me to enter my username but it won't allow me to enter my password. Thus I am stymied. Are you able to advise how to enter the password.
many thanks,
Daniel

Hi
The Qnap does echo the user name as you type it (it receives each character then returns the same character to the terminal screen) but it doesn't echo the password (nor does it send stars or dots in place of it) so you'll not see any activity happen on the terminal screen; it will thus look like nothing is happening. This is all expected, so just type the password, hit enter and if it is accepted, you should then see the cursor drop down a line and show the typing prompt.

Hi,
Me again. I've got into Putty but when I enter CD /share/HDA_DATA/.qpkg/TwonkyMedia/resources/views I get the response that no such directory exists. I have copied this line: share/HDA_DATA/.qpkg/TwonkyMedia from the QPKG page as you advise. Can you suggest what I am doing wrong? I have a QNAP TS110.
Sorry to be so dim!
thanks,
Daniel

I see you have used CD, but it should be cd (unlike Windows, Linux is case sensitive).
Rather than typing the entire path, try the below as (reason given at end):
cd /sh
Then hit the tab key and it auto-completes to cd /share/
Then type HDA to make the above look as below
cd /share/HDA
Then hit the tab key and it'll now populate the next bit as below
cd /share/HDA_DATA/
Now type .qp and tab
Now type TwonkyM then tab
And so on until you end up with the complete line (keep your eye on it as it doesn't always include the end / that you need before the next directory name). Once you have the full line, hit enter and you'll be there. The reason this is good is not that it saves typing, it's that it auto-completes the next directory from the names of the directories, so the path must exist as it is the path it has read to auto-complete the text.
Hope that sorts things for you

Thanks, Bri. You have the patience of a saint. Following your instructions, I have got to the stage where I should copy cp /share/Qweb/trees/* .
cp: target `/share/Qweb/trees/view-definitions.xml' is not a directory
[/share/HDA_DATA/.qpkg/TwonkyMedia/resources/views] # cp /share/Web/trees/*
cp: missing destination file operand after `/share/Web/trees/*'
I have stored your trees, unzipped, in a 'trees' file within the Qweb directory on my NAS so I have used Qweb rather than web, getting the result you see above. As you can see, I have also tried using 'web' with the above result. Thus I cannot copy over your trees.
Reading this thread, someone advises using winscp. I have downloaded this but I am uncertain as to where I should drag and drop your files within the TwonkyMedia directory in the right hand panr.
If you or anyone could give further help, I would be most grateful.
many thanks,
Daniel

Hi
Sorry to be brief, but I'm a tad busy just now. Older Qnaps have the letter Q in front of some of the share names, so what's /Web in mine could well be /Qweb in your model. Assuming so, once you have navigated to /share/HDA_DATA/.qpkg/TwonkyMedia/resources/views it will be cp /share/Qweb/trees/* . for your model of NAS (as shown below):
[/share/HDA_DATA/.qpkg/TwonkyMedia/resources/views] # cp /share/Qweb/trees/* . (note the space between * and .)

Thanks Briain! It works nicely now, so I guess you were right.
I'm on a Qnap 109 by the way.
Cheers.
