TwonkyMedia
Firmware versions prior to 02.40.xx used TwonkyMedia as the media server. This
section covers those legacy firmware releases.
TwonkyMedia streams your music, photos and videos to compatible devices in your
home. Playing media on a compatible device is easy.
The TwonkyMedia server searches for all the media stored in the Public share on the
My Book Live connected to your home network. The server is pre-set, so you can
just transfer your multimedia content to the Public share on your My Book Live, and
you are ready to stream and view content on your home entertainment center, game
consoles (for example, Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3), WD TV Live HD media player,
