Hi all, first time for me. I have a WD mybook white light I think you refer to them as, 1TB external drive / nas
I am having loads of problems with this unit. I mainly use it as media storage. It has workded fine for the last year or more but all of a sudden I am getting some issues. I updated version and noticed newer version now has townky media. Maybe it was there all along. I used to only conenct to it with another brand media player as it was right from the box, and noticed that I could only see files from public folder.
I have some other files that I can get to via windows machines, but I am now also trying stream via android devices, and it onlys will let me see the files that are ion public folder.
I played around with twonky server, and managed to include other shares, and they worked! Well sort of, when they did work, if I rebooted the WD I would lose all those shares I managed to set. Now I cant even see those other folders.
I did find something about making sure folders hae share permission set, it does seem to all be there when I log into web /advance/users of WD
I dont really know what happened, but now I can only add shares in twonly available in public folder. It only lets me see the folders that are in the public folder. Not sure why I cant even see other folers that exist not.
Next I tried to ftp in and thought I would move those other folders into the public folder.
I can log into WD via ftp, see all of the folders, but cant move them using cute ftp
When I look at the folder I see all of the files and at the ned it just says error with no code or explanation. I work in a technical field but this thing dirves me crazy. It seems to be fucntional, but I am surely missing something stupid here!
Go easy on my I am not reall a linux person but I can follow complex intructions as long as you dont assume I know anything
Thanks in advance
