Dear WDTony,

                        Yet again I see you have shut down the thread on the Sharespace Twonky upgrade issue by making it unplanned and yet again with zero explanation?

Please explain to all the Sharespace owners why you are ignoring us? Is it because you have a new toy in the way of the DX4000 and now don't really care about the Sharespace or its owners?

If this is the case that would be a very poor move by WD as your reputation in the NAS arena is going down.

I would say the Twonky upgrade is wanted by majority of Sharespace owners that use it as a Media server.

Dear Sharespace owners,

Please support me in getting our Sharespace's regularly updated to fix the bugs and Twonky.

I have notice firmware upgrades included the the compatibility and additional use of the WD Photo app which works like a dream, why not have the WD 2go app work as well and reduce frustrations with Mionet.

I get a lot of comressed files (.rar), and I´d like to be able to unrar them directly on my Sharespace, saving me the trouble (and time!) of doing it wirelessly through my laptop.

WD please upgrade your firmware on your Network Drives to include the FREE ! Upgrade offered by Twonky for version 5 users to use version 6 for FREE !

Other NAS suppliers such as QNAP did this a couple of years ago (see link)

This seems to be a Hot topic for allot of WD NAS owners and we are not getting any reasonable answers out of WD.

I notice the WD team put this Twonky upgrade idea straight to Unplanned status so no one can add further comments or give Kudos.

WD need to provide a full explanation on why we can't have the free Twonky upgrade when other NAS suppliers can supply it?

WDTony please don't change this to unplanned and please provide us with a real answer on where the Media Server software is headed for the current WD NAS products.

Thanks for listening. 

I would love to see a 32 Bay NAS from WD. This would finally allow me to store my entire home video collection on a single drive (at least once 4+ TB drives come out) and would be an amazing thing to have. Right now the largest bay from other hard drive manufactuers (who shall not be named) only go up to 8 and 16 bays and are still too small for my needs- as I am sure they are too small for many other peoples as well.

I think there needs to be a way to access My book WORLD edition remotely from my Android phone and/or iPad.  I understand that there is MIONET, however, I can not use MIONET as Java is not supported on either device.  I have seen other ideas for a creation of MIONET mobile, and the soultion is WD2GO.  However, WD2GO is only for the My Book LIVE edition not My Book WORLD.  There has to be away to access my MBWED remotely from my mobile device.  With they way things are going these days as far as devices, mobile remote access is starting to becoming a standard, and the whole reason for a NAS is exactly that, to be able to access remote from anywhere!  There is not always going to be a computer around.. Please consider a solution for users who want to access their MBWE remotely from their mobile device.  Thanks.

As it seems WD is unable to get an agreement with Twonky to implement the !!!! FREE !!!! upgrade from version 5 to version 6.

How about new Media Server Software for the ShareSpace? 

"My Book World Edition II(blue rings) 2TB" does not currently support the "My Book Essential 3 TB".

I would love for WD to make a photo frame that was specifially designed to work with the My Book Live and other WD NAS products. While the Kodak frame I currently have works, I'd much rather use the same brand as the drive I'm using to store my precious pictures. 

A nice and simple PPTP service on the MyBook Live to allow remote access to the network it's connected to. 

My Book Live needs two things:

1. It needs to give me an option to create partitions

2. It needs to work seamlessly with Apple TV

If anyone at Western Digital is listening (or reading) please work on this, especially the ability to partition!

:-)



Another post for Twonky 6 upgrade as WD don't seem to understand their customers needs???

On the NAS to have a maintenance option to restore any one individual software component. So, as an example, if something within Twonky Media Server become currupt then the proposed option to correct this would be, after a click and confirmation, to automagically remove all trace of Twonky Server and then re-install it WITHOUT having to perform a full factory restore.

Also, an easy way to initiate a file system integrity check on demand would be a ice reassuring touch.

(For the next firmware update...)

On MyBook Live the default share "Public" has unrestricted R/W and can't be disabled.

I would like to have the option of  turning off the default share "Public".

In current state when viewing video library via Media Server with Twonky on WDTV, all files and folders appear as default blank rectangles.

In network shares mode, all video file and folder shows the JPG icon attached (assumed having the same filename or folder.jpg).

I suggest that you make twonky show the JPG files for folders and video/audio files.

Version 5.1.7 is very old revision of Twonky Mediaserver and it does't support *.mkv file.

Please update Twonky or write instructions how I can update it in WD Sharespace 4Tb
