Twonky besides RuneAudio

psychofaktory

Hello,

first: Thanks for this great piece of software!!! It's my very favorite software on Raspberry Pi.

I want to install a Twonky Server beside RuneAudio on my Raspberry Pi 2. Actually i've got the latest dev-build installed.

Which steps do i have to do, to get a working instance of Twonky?

Hi psychofaktory,

Which steps do i have to do, to get a working instance of Twonky?

SSH to your device and enter these commands:

mkdir /usr/local/twonky/
cd /usr/local/twonky/
wget http://www.twonkyforum.com/downloads/7.0.8-Special/twonky-kirkwood-special-7.0.8.zip
pacman -Sy unzip
unzip twonky-kirkwood-special-7.0.8.zip
chmod 700 twonky* cgi-bin/* plugins/*
mkdir /var/twonky
/usr/local/twonky/twonky.sh start

Edit: updated pacman command.

By default the server is on port 9000, so connect to it with:
ip-address:9000 (192.168.0.100:9000)

You also can try newer versions from here.
I tried this one
http://www.twonkyforum.com/downloads/8.1.2/
but without success.

The server won't start at boot, for this we have to find a solution next.

Thanks for your quick reply!

I've found this guide http://www.gtkdb.de/index_7_2220.html.

Maybe we could adapt this for Arch Linux.

Hi psychofaktory,

are there any problems with my solution?

If you encounter problems with installing unzip, please try

pacman -Sy pacman

The starting on boot should be done with systemd, because it's the default on arch linux.
I'll post a service file as soon as i have the time to test it.

Hi,

i played a bit more with it and 8.0.3 is the newest version we can easily get to work with rune.

SSH to your device and enter these commands:

mkdir /usr/local/twonky/
cd /usr/local/twonky/
wget http://www.twonkyforum.com/downloads/8.0.3/twonky-kirkwood-8.0.3.zip
pacman -Sy unzip
unzip twonky-kirkwood-8.0.3.zip
chmod 700 twonky* cgi-bin/* plugins/*
mkdir /var/twonky

To start twonky use

/usr/local/twonky/twonky.sh start

To stop twonky use

/usr/local/twonky/twonky.sh stop

To get twonky started at boot we have to edit/generate this file:
/usr/lib/systemd/system/nginx.service

 nano /usr/lib/systemd/system/nginx.service

[Unit]
Description=Twonky the Digital Media Server
After=network.target

[Service]
PIDFile=/var/run/mediaserver.pid
ExecStart=/usr/bin/sh /usr/local/twonky/twonky.sh start
ExecStop=/usr/bin/sh /usr/local/twonky/twonky.sh stop
Restart=always
RestartSec=1
StartLimitInterval=30
StartLimitBurst=20

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

To save it hit CTRL-x and then y.

Now we can test twonky with:

systemctl start twonky

and stop it with:

systemctl stop twonky

to start it at boot:

systemctl enable twonky

Hope this helps.

Thanks!
But after editing /usr/lib/systemd/system/nginx.service the rune-Website isn't available after reboot anymore. Twonky works!
How can I get both working?

It's great to have a 8.xx-version working. I had a lot of Problems with v7.x on my QNAP.

Now i need to find out, how i could get BubbleUPnP-Server working on same machine an wait till the Hotspot-Functionality is officially implemented into RuneAudio to have the Network-Audioplayer I've allways dreamed of...

hondagx35 wrote are there any problems with my solution?

No Problems. I was very glad to have your solution. That saved me a lot of work!!
I just thought, the guide in the link could help to find a solution for the problem you posted with the automatic start of twonky server at boot.

I did some further tests:

After editing the nginx.service-file Twonky works, but the Rune-Webserver doesn't work anymore.
If I change the ngingx.service-file back to original Rune-Webserver is working fine, but Twonky won't start at boot.

How can i get started both at boot?

Hi psychofaktory,

there is a typo from side in the above description.

To get twonky started at boot we have to edit/generate this file:
/usr/lib/systemd/system/nginx.service

nano /usr/lib/systemd/system/nginx.service

should be

To get twonky started at boot we have to edit/generate this file:

nano /usr/lib/systemd/system/twonky.service

Thanks for your reply.

After my last post I searched a little bit an found out how to create a own service and how getting it start at boot.
In the end i've got it working, and what i did was exactly that what you described in your post

A good way to learn how the things work together.

Do you have an idea what's to do to get the latest version of Twonky running?

hondagx35

Hi ,

you can try this version
http://www.twonkyforum.com/downloads/8.1.2/twonky-kirkwood-8.1.2.zip
it was published 3 days after my post.

Version 8.1.2 from your link worked!

But I found another problem (as well as in v8.0.3 as in v8.1.2):
Twonky is only available from the LAN-Internface.
The WLAN-Interface is not shown in Twonky Webconfig under "Status" -> "Networkinterfaces".
So i can not use Twonky via wlan.

On my Qnap-NAS i've Twonky v8.1.2 installed too. Here are all interfaces shown in the status page.

Hi psychofaktory,

Twonky is only available from the LAN-Internface.

As fas as i know, twonky can not bind to two network cards on the same subnet.
It binds always to the first one it sees.
