You need to copy the file “audionas_ha_n1_updater.bin” to the USB stick without unzipping it.

EDIT - Yes, that worked! Found an ancient 128MB one in the drawer, formatted it as EX-FAT, bingo! Weird...
Thanks for your patience.

I have used Simon’s method for turning off Twonky.
I know this keeps Twonky off after a reboot and I think may stop is starting.
Does the Melco method keep Twonky off after a reboot and stop it ever starting
Is one method “better” ?
Thanks, Peter

Using the Melco front-panel setting is better because:
1) It stops Twonky immediately if it is running, without requiring a power cycle of the N1
2) It allows Twonky to be restarted at any time, without requiring a power cycle of the N1
3) It is simpler for users than needing to edit a text file
4) It is officially supported by Melco and doesn't require the use of undocumented interfaces that may change in future firmware releases
I am planning to remove the MinimServer mechanism when most users have moved up to firmware level 3.70 or above.

Thanks Simon. I will remove the edit from the options file.
Edit: now done. Can confirm that Twonky stays off after a reboot of the Melco. Note the option to switch Twonky off is only in 3.71b and not 3.70

I have the 3.71b installed. Wonder if its busily destroying my drive....
Notice that the Japanese site (Dela) has no warning

I have 3.72 and cannot seem to find the option to disable Twonky...
RE: Latest Melco firmware allows Twonky switch off - simoncn - 03-03-2018 15:51
This option isn't there in 3.72. It is there in 3.73B.
