 ===Which Version to Install?===
-Twonky Server version 4.4.18 installs most easily and works well, but is no longer being updated for more recent UPnP clients or getting new features. Additionally it allows you to edit the navigation trees for example to include A-Z sorting of large music or video collections.

-Currently the latest version is 6.0.1, which can also install and run without problem, but requires some configuration changes after installation. Extending the navigation tree requires editing XML files, or at least replacing the default XML files with downloaded versions (eg from  [[http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=29318&sid=55bb29c22db64cb996be99bf358ec311|this QNAP forum post]]

-</file>;
+In case it helps anyone who is maybe a bit unsure of the exact procedure, I've written very comprehensive instructions (with several screen shots) and links to download a custom starttwonky.sh file which checks for (and if not present, automatically creates) the new directories for the database and cache, as well as moving the log file, then also creates the required symlinks.
+To see these instructions for installing Twonky 6.0.31 on a D-Link DNS 323 and obtain the files: [[http://forums.linn.co.uk/bb/showthread.php?tid=10063|click here]]. There are also links to my custom tree packs and an optional alternative clients.db file (which defaults to the full resolution art setting for control points that don't set Twonky automatically; Kinsky Desktop and Konduktor being two examples of CP's that don't advertise themselves in the user agent field).
