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.
