![]() I originally intended using Tonido with a USB drive). (I actually went out to buy a simple usb external drive, saw it and it was roughly the same price, so I bought it for the functionality. The original purpose of the purchase was to keep a copy of my media and primarily my music library as both backup and to make the media accessible on my mobile devices, both in my home and when I`m out and about. (It simply doesnt have enough space for my data anyway). I m really not bothered about its timemachine backup function or anything else that it does. is there anything I can do to improve the response of both the device in explorer, and on my phones/ipads?.(I`m reticent about messing with it now its working to some degree). Is it worth doing and will it gain me any better performance?.Now I have access I have the option of updating the devices firmware but I`ve seen a few threads here for people to roll back or update either the devices firmware or the twonky beam media server firmware. ![]() (Approx a MINUTE to display the directorys with a further 30 seconds to a minute to poll any further navigation and then a MASSIVE, (unmeasured as I got bored waiting), gap as it trys to open the track, I THINK it took about 5 minutes.īTW I received an Email from WD support (and NOT in my spam folder wonder of wonders lol), it seems somebody has seen this thread. On my ipad it`s not TOO bad though still very slow,(about 14 seconds to seek and play each track),but on either android, even on the same wifi network even, its MOLASSES slow. It does seem very hit and miss with its media serving though. Nothing was changed with my actual PCs configuration. It s excruciatingly slow but at least its working now. The result was that we tried the pin reset one more time and it WORKED at last, no idea why, we did nothing differently apart from leaving the device unpowered for 15 minutes with all its leads out before resetting it. ![]() I turned the problem over to a friend who went over all my systems network settings with me, my router configuration & tested all my ethernet leads and tried his hand at helping me solve it. Well I finally have access to the elusive Dashboard. Missing receipt: as earlier, most reputable shops will accept other proof of purchase. Oh, and the 40 second reset doesn’t do a ‘full factory restore’, so you shouldn’t lose your data’. If there’s anything inaccurate, then let us know. Which requires full, concise and accurate information about the system. It requires debuggers to build up a mental picture of what is going on. At least we can then rule out one set of options, or find that we have another way of seeing what’s going on. That’s the second step (after trying the 40s reset). I’m not familiar with the ‘guts’ of it, but google is pretty helpful.ĭownload PuTTY (it’s free). I’m most certainly not a linux expert, even though I’ve been using unix systems since the days of the Sun Sparcstation. Just don’t go typing ‘rm -R *’… You may not need to go as far as upgrading the firmware via the linux command line it may be possible to find which of the services is broken, and fix that, or reboot the system. Yes, logging in as root might be a bit scary, but if you’re familiar with linux, you’ll know what commands are safe, and what aren’t. I’d never used it before, but I downloaded it, installed it, and logged in straight away. It just allows you to log in via SSH, and get a linux command line interface. I did stress “I think SSH is enabled by default”… SSH: yeah, I read the user manual after posting, and it says it defaults to OFF.
