Settings won't survive restart - TMA 2.0.3 for Android

Postby ThyMaster » Fri Jun 08, 2012 8:45 am

Hi,

I just installed version 2.0.3 to give it another shot after a couple a months not using TMA (under Android).

It actually matured quite a bit but still suffers from a most annoying bug that has been there ever since:
TMA won't won't save settings made to 'twonkyserver-default.ini'.
No matter what I do, changing it from the Web UI or even directly within the file itself (my device is rooted). It won't survive a restart of TMA!
Please fix this annoying bug!

TIA

BR

I've passed on your feedback to our developers. I think this behavior is intentional, but I agree it would be nice if we allowed people to do this.

Hi,

IMO this issue becomes quite serious these days!

Why?
I got a brand new Samsung Galaxy S3 and since it has "only" 16GB of internal RAM I always store my media (music, videos etc) on my external SD-card (32GB).
Nowadays this card is mounted in /mnt/exSdCard (not on /mnt/sdcard/externalSD) !

Twonky Mobile though insists on searching for media on /mnt/sdcard (it seems to be hard coded since every change to the relevant XML or INI files won't persist) hence TM won't find my media.

Since this new mounting points seem to be the new default within Android ICS it TM will never show any media content stored on external SD cards anymore.

This is a BUG! Please fix the standard search directory at least to /mnt

TIA

Thanks for reporting this. I'll try to get this fixed.

Nice phone BTW. I've got a Galaxy SIII on order. They're not available here yet.
