Unitilite and twonky - connection issues
Posted by: willc77 on 18 April 2014
Hi there
I'm a Unitilite user, running Twonky Media server on my MacBook via a BT Home Hub. The system works very well and I'm especially happy with the n-stream app. The one problem I have, however, is that n-stream regularly loses contact with Twonky and shows No Servers when UPnP is selected. I have stay connected selected in n-stream and Twonky shows as started. I then have to stop twonky and restart it to get n-stream to find it. It's then fine for as long as I use it but as soon as I leave it for a period (ie go to bed/pub/work) and come back to it it's dropped off again. This is a minor irritation but I'd rather just have the server available all the time. I've set my MacBook power settings to prevent it powering down as I thought that might be the issue initially. Is this an issue with n-stream, Twonky or the network?
