5 Further Configuration 

After installing TwonkyMedia, the default configuration will in most cases allow to start using 
TwonkyMedia right away. In addition, there are different ways to customize TwonkyMedia:

All  options  may  be  configured   by  means   of   the   server's   web-based  configuration 
pages. Upon startup the MediaServer creates a twonkyvision-config.html page in its 
startup directory. To access this configuration page, you can simply open this page 
with a web browser. The page can also be accessed with Windows XP systems by 
just   opening   the   presentation   page   of   the   MediaServer   device.   If   you   have   not 
changed the default settings, this page is always found at the following location: 

http://your-ip:port/configpage/index.htm

where "your-ip" is the IP address of the device where the MediaServer is running and 
the   port   is   the   port   number   of   the   MediaServer   HTTP   server   (9000   by   default).
The url http://127.0.0.1:9000 will work on most systems.

Another   way  to  select   options  is  to   edit   the  configuration   file   of   the   MediaServer 
directly with a text editor. Due to error-proneness this method is recommended for 
experienced users only. Depending on the type of server you are using, the filename 
is   either   twonkyvision-mediaserver.ini   or   twonkyvision-musicserver.ini.   The   file   is 
created automatically on the first startup of the MediaServer - on Windows systems 
in the Windows directory, on  UNIX and  Macintosh  it  is found in the  MediaServer 
startup directory. If you want to reset the MediaServer to the default configuration at 
any time, you can simply delete this file - the MediaServer will recreate it with the 
default settings. The same applies to resetting single configuration options - locate 
the option in the .ini file and delete the line from the file - on the next startup the 
MediaServer will re-insert the corresponding line for that option with the default value 
into the .ini file.

Finally, options can also be specified as command line parameters when starting the 
MediaServer.   Moreover,   a   few   options   can   only   be   specified   as   command   line 
parameters. If you want to use command line parameters on a Windows system, you 
can first create a shortcut to MediaServer.exe. Then under ‘properties’ you can add 
the   command   line   parameters   behind   the   name   of   the   executable.
This   method   of   selecting   options   is   not   available   when   using   the   server   in   an 
embedded system.

Most changes to the configuration require a restart of the MediaServer. You can use the 
restart button on the web-based configuration page or simply stop the MediaServer and start 
it again.
