How to keep DLNA / UPNP in the correct folders

If your connect to your NAS via DLNA and the files aren't all in the correct folders, you can fix this by adding another directory to the share.

So if you have
\video\movies\
\video\tv\
\video\homemovies\

move it to
\video\video\movies\
\video\video\tv\
\video\video\homemovies\
and still share the first video folder


then the ReadyDLNA will keep your folders.

  • This happens to me as well no matter what media player I use. I figured it was a bug with the Readynas... That seems to be a little rediculous of a fix, I want to have less folders, not more. Especially if it's just so the files will show in the correct folder..

    Any devs out there aware of this bug? I really thought I was the only one. Thanks for bringing this up apeofjungle.

    I'm hoping this can be resolved with a FW update instead of having a video folder within a video folder...
  • Someone once told me it's the way the standard works, not the way that ReadyNAS implements it. Either way, it's annoying, and this is a fix for it. Slightly annoying when looking at the folders via a computer, but much nicer on a media player.
