Can only see some folders via media players
I have a ReadyNas Ultra 2 replacing my now faulty Buffalo Linkstation.
It is all set up but I have some folder issues.
when I want to watch a video clip I go to the Media folder and I have stored them in a sub-folder called Films. However my media players doesn't see the file structure as it is.
I use a PS3 and WD-TV. Both of them cannot see the default BitTorrent folder. They show a folder within my films folder as "null" rather than the folder name and they both have folders showing when I browse folders that I have moved elsewhere or deleted. How is this possible? These folders didn't even have video in them!! I never had this issue on other NAS.
Not only that but my xbox shows no videos at all in my films folder. The only possible differnce since the Linkstation is the fact that there may be one extra level in folder structue as the Film folder is in default Media folder.
Any ideas?

- Try to update your DLNA addon:
viewtopic.php?f=76&t=27946 - made no difference.
- Try these steps:
* disable and re-enable ReadyDLNA
* if it will still not work disable ReadyDLNA, turn off NAS, turn it on, then re-enable it
* if it will still not detect the media files uninstall ReadyDLNA software and re-install it
* make sure that auto media scan is also enabled - Are you actually using DLNA, or are you accessing the media via CIFS or NTFS?
- It is thru DLNA.
- Very nice & impressive thread you have posted.. It's very helpful I have read & bookmark this and will recommended it to more other peoples thanks...
Of course the WD-TV also supports CIFS.arjoseph wrote: It is thru DLNA. - I hope that the problem was resolved, otherwise please keep us updated.
