Setup to access Linkstation/Twonky server via web

[coops74]

I have just purchased Airplayer for my iphone and am really happy with it when accessing from the LAN. Can anyone advise how to setup a server manually for access away from home wifi point?

I have tried a few different combinations but no luck.

I am have a Buffalo Linkstation that comes with built in Twonky media server.

I've tried that setup. It shows itself as "UnKnowed Media Server" and wont connect

You can input the URL in iPhone's safari app to see whether you can get a xml file?
this test makes sure you have input correctly in AirPlayer.

The requested URL /LS-CHLE36.xml was not found on this server.

Then you seems haven't get the correctly ip and port for your media server.

I think port 9000 is used by linkstation webaccess applicaiton. Could that be causing the issue.

By browsing to http://ip address:9000 this brings up the linkstation webaccess pages.

you still need to add description file location suffix in the above URL.
