Hi Dav-M,
I upgraded from version 5 to 7, and I can see my videos on the twonky:9000, but not on the UI.
However, I cannot find the "getMediaServerPort.sh" file anywhere. I've searched for it using WinSCP as well.
Please help.
Much appreciated..
Hi Dav-M,
I following the instructions on the link you provided. I cannot find the "getMediaServerPort.sh" file anywhere. I've searched for it using WinSCP as well.

Please help.
Much appreciated..
Try my guide for the MBL on WD Community site. I cannot post a link here so search for "[GUIDE] Installing Crashplan" on the WD Community site
Did anyone manage to get crashplan (crashplan.com) running on the white light?
Great ! Thanks for the thanks ;-)
forgot to mention:
add startup script to startup/shutdown/reboot of NAS (step 13) as if you are using the Duo
this is only in case you've previously changed from twonky to WD latest DLNA server.
thanks man, worked great, no update needed, just used your link from the beginning
thank you so much!
i have MyBookLive 02.42.02-012 with the new DLNA server (the one that replaced twonky), and i installed the latest Twonky version (7.2.1) without having to update:
just use the original instructions, disable the dlna server before starting, and use phibertron's link instead of the the old one.
worked like a charm
Hurray! I'm on pure Debian Wheezy with my custom kernel. accep4() was wired up to user space. See mbl-common,googlecode,com for details.

have the Western Digital My Book Live Duo Personal Cloud Storage 6TB NAS Drive. I have set it up as an FTP server. Is there any WD or 3rd party software I can use to track upload/download/usage of the various logins on the FTP server. Just as a way of safeguarding my bandwidth. Would allow me to limit certain accounts from downloading from it if they take too much data per month.
Hi,
Follow the guide in first step, it has been update according feedback of everybody.
Dave,
Have you gone back and added all these little things to the guide at the top? Or do we have try read through all these and decide if we should be trying some of these things that you say you forgot to mention in the guide, like the two things listed below:
//By the way, I think about one thing I don't tell in my guide, in twonky.sh I've disable start of TwonkyProxy and TwonkyWebDav… Maybe it could explain you're problem ?
To do that edit twonky.sh and put 0 like this :
#change this to 0 to disable the twonky proxy service
START_PROXY=0
#change this to 0 to disable the twonky webdav service
START_WEBDAV=0//
//I forget one thing (sorry), step 11 :
chmod -x /etc/init.d/twonky.old
Otherwise it could start old twonky & new twonky//
Hai,
I have always been using Transmission to download but once due to a power cut my WD shut down after that I couldnt get into Transmission as it was running at that point of time.There after I did reset and also I had to use the Factory Restore option. But when I tried to put Transmission back this is the error I got
Installing feature Transmission
/var/www/fpkmgr/fpks/Transmission/_install: line 39: /opt/bin/ipkg: No such file or directory
/var/www/fpkmgr/fpks/Transmission/_install: line 43: /opt/bin/ipkg: No such file or directory

gzip: /root/.config/transmission-daemon/blocklists/level1.gz: No such file or directory
Transmission Installation complete
After getting this I upgraded the firmware to the latest update so far.
Home Page:
Transmission-daemon is currently Stopped (Start) -(I cannot start) Transmission Version 2.2c
Download reception folder :(there is no folder here, cant set up one as well)
Startup mode :
Enable Web user interface Authentication

Please help.
Thanks
Please, can someone please tell me how to recover the erased user data after doing a factory reset?
It would be great if someone can help me…I lost a very valuable affective memories there (photos).
Thanks.
Ok - solved! I'm posting the resolution for others.
First it looks like the 12v power supply died. Finally found a good 3A model and that helped. Still needed to restore the drive.
Found out that the latest firmware what mbwe.tar.z was downloading didn't work with my drive. The current 01.02.12 firmware won't boot in my White Light with a 750AAKS WD drive.
So I downloaded the 01.02.06 firmware and now all is well.
Drive boots up and looks fine.
FYI - the external full size power adapters run much cooler compared to the small "wall wart" type. They only draw about 5-10 watts, but get very warm.
Looking into differences between vanilla 2.6.32-11 and GPL'ed 2.6.32-11, it was a great work done to support APM82181 SoC. And, unfortunately, it was not included to the next releases of vanilla kernel.
We can compile any kernel we want (even last one!), but without DMA, hw crypto and some other very usefull features. Look like APM82181 SoC was abandoned at ~2.6.32 release.
I've made a pull request to linux kernel git to make compilation with no errors. But, as I said, it's useless. I can't port SoC's features to new kernel alone, there is too much work.
Also, I've tried to replace user-space part with Debian Wheezy, but new udev uses "new" accept4() syscall that absent in 2.6.22-11. I can patch udev, but may be there is another packages uses accept4().

Hi,
I've follow this guide many times on some MBWE2 to unbrick or upgrade Hard Drive.
Not sure to understand what you do, but you need to change the script to tell 2 unit disk.
You only need to apply the script ONLY on the firt disk, THEN boot with it (and it should works at this time), THEN power off, then insert a blank HD on the second bay, boot again and format all (raid or jbod) and that´s all.
Then it starts up briefly, but within a few minutes, it powers off again
That´s the normal behavior when you plug the power, it wake up then power off, at this time, you need to push the power button to start it.
OK, third option to try was still left open: run the script on both drives and insert them together in the MBWE.
I did that 2 days ago and then the unit was very unresponsive and I got a webpage (/admin/inquirer.php) where a progress bar is displayed.
This progress jumps all over, from 7% to 1 to 3 to 10 …
Like someone mentioned on this page:
http://community.wdc.com/t5/Other-Network-Drives/WD-MyBook-World-Edition-White-light-not-starting-up/td-p/195892
I let it run overnight and after 24 hours I had a working MBWE!
One of the drives was not mounted, but I cleaned from within the Network Manager and made a new RAID: now both drives are found and usable.
Yesterday I copied 300GB to it without a problem.
Hi All,
My guess is that this has come up before, and I apologize, but I didn't find quite what I was looking for so am asking, politely, here.
I just successfully replaced my original 2TB drives with new 3TB drives. Now, I need to migrate the data over from one of the old drives.
My guess is there are a number of ways this can be done; I'm looking for a proven and basic way to do this. I thought I was going to be able to use the USB port on the back and connect the 2TB drive to it and then use copy manager, but this doesn't seem to be an option (the GUI shows the 2TB USB connected drive, but copy manager doesn't seem to be able to read the contents).
Please point me in the right direction. I am running Windows 7 Pro; can run Ubuntu if necessary.
Thanks,
-M.
Ok so it's not the drive. When I apply power - even without a drive, I get the bottom light dim and the top light slowly flashing. Boot error.
Tried at hard reset.
Is there any other type of reset??
