You can start the twonky daemon with the follow command or simply reboot the MBL:
/etc/init.d/twonky start

Did you enable the twonky service via the web interface?

Hi thanks for the reply, i had read all of this thread, & had identified what you are quoting as the most recent set of instruction as how to setup, but i cannot successfully modify.

I have edited to set port to 8000 using putty & saved using ":w" i've installed the latest logitechmediaserver, but if I type http://mybooklive.9000 nothing happens I am completely confused?

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

If you're actually typing http://mybooklive.9000, that would be a problem. It should be a colon, not a period before the port. Like this http://mybooklive:9000

Sorry that was an error on my part in my last post, I have been entering http://mybooklive:9000

Unfortunately I cannot get it to load.

Any ideas where I might have gone wrong, how do I get back to square one again to start over, do I have to do a factory reset of the mybook live?

I really want to get this working without a PC, thanks for your help.

Without knowing every change you have made on your NAS, it is hard for anyone to know what the problem might be.

All I can suggest is to re-install the latest firmware for your My Book Live so you can start at square one, and then follow the steps I collected in my previous post.

At step 2, rather than trying to change Twonky's port from 9000 to 8000, disable Twonky to eliminate it as a source of problems. Follow the rest of the steps, and if you get LMS working, then go back and try to change the Twonky port and re-enable it. If LMS stops working after that, you'll know you have a conflict of some sort with Twonky.

Thanks for your continuing help in this matter, I've attempted to reinstall the latest firmware as you suggest, (to start with a clean slate). But the interface only has a "Check for update" option, & "load from file"

If I chose "Check for update" option, I am told I have the latest version, & I cannot reinstall.

I suspect that I should use the "install from file" option, but where do I go to find the correct file source?

Thanks again

On my WD MyBook Live NAS http://mybooklive has stopped working. Instead i need to lookup the gui via the correct ip number, in my cas 192.168.1.20. You might find out about the ip via the gui of your router.

The following command will perform a factory restore without deleting data on the Public share:

/usr/local/sbin/factoryRestore.sh noreformat

Did you try acess via the IP address?
