This will allow proper UPnP serving to Playstation 3 & XBOX360 Consoles - something alot more interesting now they both support mpeg4 (Divx/Xvid) Codecs. UPnP is improved in 1.04 firmwares but this will add the feature to 1.03 Firmwares. This tutorial is originally from here - PS3 Forums

TwonkyMedia isn't free, but it includes a 30-day trial. According to their website, it currently costs $39.95 for a TwonkyMedia license (version 4.4.x). Twonky don't provide telephone or email support for software installed on to a DNS-323, so make sure that it is working for you properly before buying the license key.

Twonky Server version 4.4.18 installs most easily and works well, but is no longer being updated for more recent UPnP clients or getting new features.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 this QNAP forum post

Downloading the Twonky software

Download links for 4.X, 5.X and 6.X versions of the software are available from this links on this page of the Twonky website.

Enable telnet

To install TwonkyMedia, you must first enable a telnet server on the DNS-323. Some might consider this hacking, and it does require some basic knowledge of Linux, so if you're not comfortable with Linux or don't want to modify your DNS-323's startup process and config, I would not recommend proceeding. (This is not a permanent change and can be easily backed out.)

Telnet Install Instructions

Another way (and the way I went) was to install MLDonkey, which not only installs Telnet but also a edonkey/torrent interface for your DNS-323, all by copying a few files via ftp.

NOTE = Since the firmware 1.05, the DNS-323 has BitTorrent support.

Install TwonkyMedia 4.4.18

Now, you can install TwonkyMedia version 4.4 for D-Link DNS-323, dns323-4.4.11-20090108.zip. Version 4.4.18 is available from the Twonky website.

Twonky are not producing more 4.4.x versions; you can get version 5.0.x, 5.1.x or 6.x versions from the Twonky media site, but see the additional notes below.

Windows

The archive includes a setup program that will copy the necessary files to you NAS, and modify the boot files accordingly - no setup necessary. You just need to run the NASSetup.exe program on your PC, then follow the instructions.

The TwonkyMedia server will be installed at /mnt/HD_a2/twonky.

The TwonkyMedia autostart script will be installed at /mnt/HD_a2/starttwonky.sh.

The TwonkyMedia web interface will be accessible at http://<fill in your DNS-323's ip address>:9000/configpage/index.html

Other Operating Systems

If you need to install via some other operating system, you will need to FTP the files, and modify the autostart file, fun_plug to start twonkymedia.

Create the directory /mnt/HD_a2/twonky. Copy the following files and directories to /mnt/HD_a2/twonky: twonkymedia twonkymedia-default.ini cgi-bin plugins resources twonkymediaserver

Start server by running twonkymedia.

Additional Configuration for version 6.0.1 (also needed for version 5.X?)

After installing Twonky you will have a file called starttwonky.sh in the root of your first shared drive. You need to modify this file to avoid your DNS-323 breaking if you have a large media library (pink lights and missing file shares). If you do this from Windows then use a text editor that is aware of “Unix line endings”, like notepad++.

The example file below shows the suggested changes with comments.

#!/bin/sh
route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0 dev egiga0

cd /mnt/HD_a2/twonky
# The lines above are written by the twonky installer and show the install 
# directory for this twonky installation. The new file and directory 
# that is created below should be inside it.

# On the DNS-323, /tmp, /var and /mnt are in the root partition (/). The root 
# partition is entirely in RAM and has total size 9.7MB. 

# By default Twonky 6.0.1 is built to log to /tmp/TwonkyMediaServer-log.txt,
# and other data is stored in /var and /mnt.

# Two problems: 
# 1/ The available space in / is quickly filled, the DNS-323 stops serving files
# and the status lights on the front go pink.
# 2/ Any saved twonky configuration is lost after a reboot, including the 
# license key.

# So we need to change the Twonky configuration to store this data on the big 
# disks instead. This is easy to do by editing the starttwonky.sh script (this file!)

## First create a directory for working files:
# mkdir /mnt/HD_a2/twonky/appdata
# or create it using Windows File explorer in \\yourNas\Volume_1\twonky

# Add 2 command line options to change the location of the application data 
# (which includes the ini file) and log file:
/mnt/HD_a2/twonky/twonkymedia -logfile /mnt/HD_a2/twonky/TwonkyMediaServer-log.txt -appdata /mnt/HD_a2/twonky/appdata &
# You should also edit the file /mnt/HD_a2/twonky/appdata/twonkymedia-server.ini to 
# set suitable values for uploaded and cached media files using the settings for 
# servermanagedmusicdir, servermanagedpicturedir and servermanagedvideodir

# More about command line options: Any option in the .ini file can be used with a 
# leading '-' on the command line. For example -disablelocalssdp 0

# You can test different options directly via HTTP (browser address bar)
#http://twonky_IP:9000/rpc/set_option?disablelocalssdp=0 

Symlinks could be used to fix the problem instead, described here: http://forum.dsmg600.info/viewtopic.php?id=5288

## First create a directory for working files:
# mkdir /mnt/HD_a2/twonky/appdata
# or create it using Windows File explorer in \\yourNas\Volume_1\twonky
## And a file for log data like this
# touch /mnt/HD_a2/twonky/TwonkyMediaServer-log.txt

Then add these lines near the beggining of starttwonky.sh:
ln -s /mnt/HD_a2/twonky/appdata /var/twonkymedia
ln -s /mnt/HD_a2/twonky/TwonkyMediaServer-log.txt /tmp

Alternative method (added by Briain on 07/02/2011)

I've just updated a DNS-323 (Version B) to Twonky 6 and have an alternative (but very similar) procedure:

Once unzipped, the installation file can (if required) be updated to change the trees (my latest custom versions are available Qnap forum) before running the installation. If you don't wish to do that, the below script changes the permission of the /twonky/resources/views directory, so the trees can be changed by simply drag and drop using Windows Explorer at a later date.

First install it as described above, but at the start of the installation process, remove the tick from the 'run it' box (so it doesn't start as soon as it's installed). Then copy the below script, paste it into Notepad++ and select EOL conversion to Unix format, then save it as starttwonky.sh

Copy this new starttwonky.sh to the D-Link and thus overwrite the one Twonky has created (you might have to Telnet into it and chmod 777 /mnt/HD_a2/starttwonky.sh before you can drag and drop the new version onto the Volume_1 share). Once done, reboot the D-Link and it will start Twonky using the revised script.

 
#!/bin/sh
# Briain's custom Twonky 6.0.30 start-up script for D-Link DNS-323 NAS (06 Feb 2011)
# Uses symlinks to move db and cache from /var, log from /tmp and upload from /mnt
# This protects NAS OS, prevents db rebuild at boot and loss of share paths etc
# Else section creates files and directories first time Twonky (or NAS) is re-started
# Else section also changes permissions of /views to enable easy tree changes
# If section is run on all subsequent reboots

		/sbin/route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0 dev egiga0

if [ -f /mnt/HD_a2/twonky/sym_var ]; then
		/bin/ln -s /mnt/HD_a2/twonky/sym_var /var/twonkymedia
		/bin/ln -s /mnt/HD_a2/twonky/TwonkyMediaServer-log.txt /tmp
		cd /mnt/HD_a2/twonky
		/mnt/HD_a2/twonky/twonkymedia  &
else
		/bin/mkdir /mnt/HD_a2/twonky/sym_var
		/bin/ln -s /mnt/HD_a2/twonky/sym_var /var/twonkymedia
		/bin/touch /mnt/HD_a2/twonky/TwonkyMediaServer-log.txt

Habilite telnet

Para instalar TwonkyMedia, ud debe primero habilitar un servidor de Telnet en el DNS-323. Hay quienes lo consideran un hackeo, y requiere un conocimiento básico de Linux. Si no se siente seguro en Linux o no quiere modificar el proceso de arranque y configuración de su DNS-323, le recomendamos no proceder (No es un cambio permanente y puede ser fácilmente recuperado).

Telnet Install Instructions

Otra manera (y la que utilice) fue instalar MLDonkey, el cual no solo instala Telnet sino tambien una interface edonkey/torrent en tu DNS-323, todo copiando unos archivos via ftp.

NOTA = Desde el firmware 1.05, el DNS-323 tiene soporte a BitTorrent

* Instalar TwonkyMedia 4.4.11 *
