NAS Probleme bei Netgear Nighthawk RAX80
Hi all, I just bought a new RAX80 Nighthawk and attached an USB 3 HDD to it. I activated mediaserver functionality and on the harddrive there are several folders, containing subfolders with RAW and J...
Mathias,
Welcome to the wonderful world of DLNA (UPnP AV)!
What your TV and gaming units as DLNA DMC/DMR can "see" in the folders isn't the full folder and file structure - only media files indexed which can be presented (rendered by the DMR) can become visible. Support for whatever RAW formats is more than unlikely. Some clients even refuse to show e.g. JPEG images if the resolution is beyond some whatever limits. Or if the original file name is in a notation the DLNA DMS (that's the component operating on the router) doesn't want to understand in the extension (e.g. if it's uppercase, ...).

Thanks a lot Kurt, highly appreciated.
I did not expect RAW images to be displayed, however it is strange that folders containing JPEGs from the same camera or produced with the same Camera RAW from Adobe can sometimes be displayed, sometimes not. Also file naming conventions are the same. Also: if I copy the files in a new folder, they work for some time and after approx. 24h the TV, console etc. tells me there is no content. So there has to be some kind of problem within the DLNA workflow from Netgear. Thanks, Mathias
Curious: Are the files still "physically" located within the same initial folder structure? I remember some posts reporting the structure has changed, the files seemed to disappear.
The Netgear mindlna is as simple as robust, the same or very similar code is used on their ReadyNAS, too.
Well, you know I'm not Netgear...
For all images I use the same folder structure. The folder contains the RAWs and one subfolder with JPGs. Both cannot be display. When copying the JPGEs to a new named subfolder, the can be displayed. However, when rescanning media, the folders "disapears", it is physically there, but the DLNA client cannot display it anymore. Very strange...

Rescanning the media will drop and re-create the index. Don't be confused: The DLNA access is not a file system access, the folder and file structure is a logical replica. As long as the folder isn't rescanned, the index won't return anything, and the DLNA "link" won't work.
