RAX80 DLNA Media Server Not Working

I have an SSD connected to my RAX80 via the USB port. I use network shares to stream movies and music from the SSD to my computers and home theater system.

 

I need to get DLNA working too. My new Samsung TV won't do network shares. It can only utilize media servers.

 

I can see my RAX80's media server using my computer, my phone, and my TV. However, there are no files when I open the media server.

 

I have media servers working on all my computers.

I have tried rebooting the router. I have tried unplugging the router.

I have not tried resetting the router. I was hoping to avoid having to rebuild all my network shares.

I have gone into the advanced settings on the router and disabled and reenabled DLNA.

I have also rescanned the files.

 

Nothing has worked so far. Any advice would be appreciated.

  • I can see the RAX80 in my media servers lists on my different devices. I can see the Videos, Music, etc. folder, but they are empty. The folders and files on the SSD have apparently not been indexed.

      What happens if you reboot the router from the web ui or from the NH app with the USB drive attached?
