MediaSmart server advanced Twonky settings
With a new MediaSmart server I was excited to get the TwonkyMedia server up and running to be able to stream all my music and videos over to my PS3. I have some experience with Twonky from my Buffalo NAS and it was the best DLNA server I have ever used. I was a bit disappointed that the server configuration was dumbed down and limited to the MediaSmart console.
Access is restricted to MediaServer configuration!
To enable to regular Twonky configuration pages you need to do the following steps.
1. RDP onto the server using mstsc.exe from a run command. If you have a version of Windows without remote desktop you will need to find a way to install it (I don’t know how) and open up C:\TwonkyMedia\twonkyvision-mediaserver.ini
2. Locate the line
# Web access
enableweb=1
3. Change it to
# Web access
enableweb=2
4. Save the file
5. Restart the TwonkyMedia service by opening services.msc from the run command, find the service on the list, and click restart on the left column.
Now all you need to do is browse to your home server in a web page and go to port 9000.

You should be greeted with the normal Twonky configuration settings now.
I hope this helps someone, it certainly helped me.
