Readyshare files wrong format

Hi guys

I am having an issue with my readyshare on my D6200.

Some mp4 movies i copy to my harddrive does not show in videos on the readyshare. But instead is found in music folder as m'4a format.

Never had this issue with my old DGND4000. Infact its happening to both my D6200's.

Have tried resetting both mode/routers. Different usb drives/thumbdrives in different file systems.

Any help would be appreciated.

       And you chose this "Cable Modems & Routers" forum instead of an
    appropriate "DSL Modems & Routers" forum for this?

       "copy" how, exactly?

     

       ReadySHARE may be garbage, but I doubt that it's capable of
    converting video formats (to audio-only) on its own, and then storing
    them in some location of its own choosing.  For only "Some mp4 movies".
    I suspect that your problem (whatever it might be) lies elsewhere.

       "different file systems"?

     

       What happens if you do whatever you're doing, but specifying a
    locally-connected (USB?) destination, instead of a remote ReadySHARE
    destination?  Blame assignment is job one.  Is the problem with
    ReadySHARE, or with what you're doing with it?

     

     

       When I tried to post this, I got a (nonsensical) complaint:

     

          The message body contains M-4-A, which is not permitted in this
          community. Please remove this content before sending your post.

     

    Where I've added the hyphens in "M-4-A".  I'll assume that that explains

    the spurious apostrophe in your "m'4a".
