-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.+TwonkyMedia isn't free, but it includes a 30-day trial.

-Twonky Server version 4.4.18 installs most easily and works well, but is no longer being updated for more recent UPnP clients or getting new features.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A-Z sorting of large music or video collections.+Twonky Server version 4.4.18 installs easily and works well, but is no longer being updated for more recent UPnP clients or getting new features.

-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]]+Currently the latest version is 6.0.1, which can also install and run without problem, but requires some configuration changes after installation.

-**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 [[http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=29318&start=15|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.+====== Twonky 6.0.31: Detailed installation instructions and downloadable replacement starttwonky.sh file ======
-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 +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.
-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.+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).
