Hello,

is it possible to install an upnp mediaserver on the gigabit version?
I had contact with the support of twonkyvision and they told me that
it is not (yet?) possible to run the server on the gigabit version.

By the way: If I upgrade the firmware to openlink and I encounter
problems, is my stored data in danger, or is it safe if I stick to the
explanation given in the wiki?

Thanks & regards!

Jens

yes, why not?

twonkyvision works on the LS1 and it will work on the LS HG.

the guys from twonkyvision have an installation programm for
twonkyvision....maybe this installer does not work properly.

but you can use the twonkyvision binary and the scripts that you can
download from the files-sections of this group instead and install it
manually

making backups is a good idea anyway......

but your data should be save. the system-partition is /dev/hda1 (the
first partition), the data-partition (where all the shares are) is
/dev/hda3 (the third)....by flashing to openlink you are changing only
the files on /dev/hda1..../dev/hda3 ( = /mnt/ ) should be save.

I had some files on my linkstation, and flashed the openlink firmware,
the files were still there :-)

I had a couple of problems with the TwonkyInstaller, I had to do some
steps manually, so I made a beginner's How-to here :

My linkstation is not Gigabit, bit I don't see any reason why it
shouldn't work on a Gigabit LS :-)

you should add in your tutorial that on the LS1 / HG the path should
be /mnt/share....on the LS2 it is /mnt/hda/share...and you should
mention that the LS2 is mips and not ppc...so a different binary for
mips instead of ppc is mandatory.
