R7000 DLNA Enable Option
Hi all,
Perhaps you someone could point me at location of Enable/Disable DLNA server option in latest "V1.0.9.88" revision of firmware of R7000 (AC1900) Nighthals Router. I recall that some of the ...
mkonstantin, I didn't miss the point. I don't have an active R7000 so I can't tell if it is there or not?
It wouldn't surprise me if NG messed it up. Like the screen shot I posted the removed items were on that page. Some probably untrained programmer removed the function and the web page to enable it. Probably was CLUELESS as to what DLNA was so removed the whole page. Code is probably still in the f/w, but no way to enable it.
All I can say complaining here and HOPING NG people report this back and get it fixed is a crap shoot.
DarrenMcan you get this fixed as soon as possible?
Your fix for now, go back to V1.0.9.42 I'd think, .60, .64, and .88 all have serious problems for many user's in varying ways.
Don't have an R7000 plugged in an working, but my R8000 has the same browser Genie.
With a Browser Genie logged into the router go to ADVANCED, USB FUNCTION, READYSHARE STORAGE, and MEDIA SERVER like I've attached my R8000 screen on the upper left.
Since the 2 circled items were removed, it is possible the entire tab was removed? Note the ability to name the DLNA SERVER, possible the name was defaulted now to a different name if the tab is gone?
If you look at the USB drive, do you still have .ReadyDLNA folder? The date of the FILES.DB should be the last time the drive was plugged in or the router booted.
If you unplug the drive and then plug it back in, that file will be rebuilt if the DLNA Server is running. Have you tried that?
There is also SAMBA access to the USB drive. Does that work from a program that can use a SAMBA server?
Thanks. The media server tab has gone completely since that last firmware update. The USB .readshare folder was on my drive until I deleted it, in the hope it would rebuild itself and solve the problem. No luck. Believe this was inflicted when NG removed the tivo, etc support. SMB shows on some devices but my media streamer needs dlna! Not happy!!!
