wndr4300 READYSHARE
Having trouble setting up usb drive on my whdr4300 router ... Under Create Network Folder, it lists my USB drive, But "Browse" button for folder does not display any of the directories on the drive...
Added several thousand media files and everything seemed fine. Was listening to audio tracks. Half an hour later, the server started going was up and down.
It came backup, but many of my media files were not available.
I tried to rescan the media files and it didn't do anything. I tried deleting the contents in the .ReadDLNA file, but it would not let me rebuild. The log said something about the art cache ( appeared to be an error, I don't recall ).
I had to repair the drive, then completely delete the .ReadyDLNA directory, then the scan started to work ( according the the minidlna.log ).
Lesson: Delete the entire .ReadyDLNA directory ( including the directory ) to force a media rescan.
So far, the ReadyDLNA, ReadyShare, and ReadyNasRemote is working as it should.
I tried again a couple days later and it was working! I did absolutely nothing. Crazy!
Today, I hit the "rescan media files" button under Advanced->Ready SHARE->Media Server and the ReadyDLNA has not come back. Is it taking a long time to rebuild? Where is the log file to see what is happening?
I unplugged and reconnected the USB drive from the router, now I can't see any of the folders under the ReadyShare menu ( in genie ).
This product is frustrating!
After deleting and readding the USB drive in the Advanced Settings/USB Setttings, My drive is now visible in the ReadyShare Basic Settings. However, using Creater Network Folder's Folder Browse does not display any of the folders on the drive. This is what happened to me the first time. Once I tried again several days later, the directories were visible and everything worked correctly. When operational the UPnP, remote access, etc worked perfectly.
Guess, I'll have to wait until the router fixes itself ...
... It's back! Not touching anything else!
Does it mean that it's working as it should?
Everything is working fine except the DLNA server disappeared. I can access the \\READYSHARE\SHARES and can access them from the NasReady App.
I can also access the files fine using smb:. But the UpnP/DLNA server is not visible.
In Genie, ReadyShare Media Server is Enabled.
Any suggestions?
