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.
Did you try starting from scratch?
How is it going so far?
I'm so frustrated!!!! Yesterday, everthing was fine. I transfered a kindle document to \\READYSHARE\MY_SHARE and the .flac database got deleted!
I'm trying to rescan and rebuild the USB drive. Now I can't access the USB drive from Network genie. When I go into the ReadyShare Basic Settings, Edit, Create Network Share, then Hit Browse ( to select folder ), no directories are displayed. This happened to me before and it finally came back but I don't know how.
I'm close to throwing away this router and buying better one ( that isn't netgear ).
This is unbelieveable! I rebooted the cable modem and the Router and it came back to life! ( I did this 4 times yesterday, but something was different today )
All is back to normal.
Will play with adding more media files this weekend.
Looks like it's playing you. :)
Anyway, add little by little and see how it goes.
