ReadyDLNA not picking up new files (RN102)
For some time now I experience the problem that ReadyDLNA does not pick up new media files (pictures, videos, music). I have to trigger a manual rescan to update the media offered via DLNA.
I was hoping for a firmware update to solve this, but this does not seem to happen.
As far as I know, the latest firmware for my NAS ships with the last minidlna release 1.2.1 (from 2017-08-24).
If I'm not mistaken, then some fixes have been made for minidlna since that release. This one sounds particularly promising:

Fix stupid logic typo, that prevented monitoring from working.

Do you think a new release of minidlna could be made and included in future ReadyNAS firmware?

I have the same problem with my RN312. DLNA doesn't reliably refresh even though the "auto refresh" option is selected. Firmware 6.10.1 (latest version)
Hi steffens,
I will have to check if a new release of minidlna is included in the future firmware release.
May I know what are the DLNA players that you are using with the ReadyNAS?
May I know also the exact firmware version of the NAS?
Regards,
- Hi JohnCM_S > I will have to check if a new release of minidlna is included in the future firmware release. The problem is, that 1.2.1 already is the latest stable release of minidlna (see https://sourceforge.net/projects/minidlna/files/minidlna/) This release contains the error, which was fixed shortly after the 1.2.1. release was made, but no new stable version was released since then. Therefore it can't be included in the ReadyNas firmware. I understood that minidlna is maintained by a NETGEAR employee (Justin Maggard), so packaging a new minidlna release and consuming it in the ReadyNas firmware should not be a big issue. > May what are the DLNA players that you are using with the ReadyNAS? The problem can be seen in any DLNA / UPNP client I tried. Mostly 8Player on IOS, VLC player on desktop coumputers and mobiles, a Philips NP2500, ... > May I know also the exact firmware version of the NAS? 6.10.1 Thanks for responding and having a look!
