Questions about the readyshare media server scanning the files I want it to scan
I don't see my router listed above. It's a Nighthawk AX5400. Updated to the latest firmware - V1.0.2.82_2.0.50. Is there anyway to block scanning of certain folders in the media server? Or a way ...
Currently there is no option to block which folders it will scan. If you leave the DLNA server enabled, it will scan every directory that it has access to. The DLNA server seems to just gradually scan the storage with idle, though the inability to not be able to tell it to ignore certain folders, can slow the process a little, but it is still quite fast, especially with the modern SOCs where a single thread read operation on USB storage can read a hard drive or SSD at over 150MB/s.
Thanks for the reply. I'm going to get a NAS for my media. My husband felt sorry for me (so many research rabbit holes...) and said go for it.
