BUG in miniDLNA: h.264 mpegts (m2ts)
My sony camcorder outputs m2ts (1080p mpeg) files.
Those are recognized by ReadyDLNA 1.0.25 during the scan.
Bu the problem is that I can't see those files on my LG TV via DLNA.
I tried to rename those to avi or mpeg - both are recognized by the scanner (Container: 'mpegts' ) but still nothing on the TV.
During my tests I've placed normal AVI file which was recognized by the scaner as Container: 'avi' - and that file was available in the folder and I could play it.

OK its not a LGTV problem. Windows media player also can't see that file.
I've downgraded ReadyDLNA package form 1.0.25 to 1.0.24 on raiditor 5.3.6 on my Readynas duo v2 but still the same.
OK so I went back to 1.0.25 version and looked into the MiniDLNA details
On MiniDLNA webpage I found some information on the AVCHD (m2ts) format - its supported.
So I went deeper into MiniDLNA files.db
I've checked the DETAILS table and my test.mpeg video was not there.....

So if its not in the DB Its obvious that It won't be visible by any DLNA client.
The question is why it was not added to the DB during the scan while it was recognized as "metadata.c:883: debug: Container: 'mpegts' [test.mpeg]".
It means there's a bug here..
