Some of media files are not indexed

Hardware: Nighthawk RAXE300
Router Firmware Version V1.0.7.62_1

 

I have trouble with DLNA Media Sever at ReadySHARE
Some of media files are not indexed. So I can't access all of them.

 

4T storage consists of 3 folders, and each folder contains subfolders.
When accessing with dlna, only the first folder out of the total 3 folders is visible, and the other 2 are not visible.

No change despite countless 'Rescan Media Files'

 

Is there no way to fix it?

    the dlna server has never been the greatest with these routers. Its been more of an afterthought IMO 

    Once you get beyond the basic media file usage, switching to a hosted media server like a NAS or something running Plex/Jellyfin is what I'd recommend. Works better, some can do transcoding for invalid formats, and they just tend to work better. I used to use a router, then moved to a used NAS, and from there built a full 8 core GPU based server. It starts a horrible process of managing your own media 🙂

      I didn't use any great functions
      If the number of media files has increased and only some are indexed and the rest are not indexed, shouldn't the dlna server function itself be activated

      I hope the manager page will provide specific information about the index.
      Total number of media days, folders, etc
      The current manager page just exists with the rescan button, I can't tell if it's working properly or not.
