Twonky 6 won't let MBWE disk go to sleep

For information (I am not looking for any help):

I had an old version of Twonky on my white light which I upgraded to Twonky 6.0.3 (I downloaded directly from the Twonky site). It worked perfectly except for the fact that the disks would not spin down any more. I checked that it was not updating log files or the DB when I should have been sleeping (I checked every file on the system for a timestamp that would have prevented sleep) - but found nothing. On the twonky forums I found at least one other person that had the same problem with their NAS (not a MBWE).

So I downgraded to the latest version 5 which is 5.1.6 (still an upgrade from where I originally was), and Twonky functions perfectly and the MBWE sleeps just as it used to. I notice that MBLive comes pre-installed with 5.1.9. Maybe version 6 not ready for NAS yet.

[sorry - maybe I should have placed this in "Installing & Configuring Programs" - I don't know how to move it]

Hope this helps someone.

Hi,

I have a question about the functionality of the Twonky version you are currently running. I am trying to get my MBWE whitelight to stream media to my Samsung Bluray with DLNA support, and the Twonky that came installed wont let me pause playback for example. There are other issues too, so now I am looking for another way to get full functioning streaming. I have tried to get MiniDLNA to work but have run into a dead end, it seems.
Do you by any chance know if your version work with the Samsung player and are able to pause?

And may I ask for a more specific instruction of how you did this upgrade, then maybe I can try myself?
