DLNA Service not showing in Frontview
I have a Readynas Ultra 2 than has worked perfectly for 2+ years. Last week, the DLNA Service stopped (I noticed first when I could no longer play music on various DLNA clients). So logged on to check the status in Frontview. There were no service showing under Streaming Services. I mean the tab was entirely blank - no services to enable/disable even if I wanted to. I've tried multiple re-boots with and without scans. I was running 4.2.24, so rolled back to 4.2.23. That at least made iTunes Streaming Server service appear. So I rolled back to 4.2.22 (no difference). Then updated back to 4.2.24. I now have iTunes Streaming Server as a Streaming Service, but still no DLNA service, and no DLNA client on my network works.
No clues in the Log - just than my various re-boots, firmware installs and scans. RAIDar says everything is good. CIFS service is enabled and working perfectly (mapped drives in Windows are all fine). I've even tried accessing Frontview from IE8 instead of Chrome v31 in case this is some funny browser compatibility issue. (No difference).
Any suggestions how to get DLNA Service enabled. Is there some techie command-line instruction I could issue?

- Your issue is different. Copy /etc/default/config/etc/default/services to /etc/default/services
Your OS partition might be full. In which case that issue needs to be fixed or the problem will come back or worse. - Thanks for your quick reply. How am I going to get to these files? I'm just having the standard file shares showing up here. Clearly there is a way to expose the OS files someway I don't know yet. As a trained computer and service person I should have known these tings but it really never came to my mind. Would you enlighten me, please? :-)
- One way would be through the EnableRootSSH add-on: http://www.readynas.com/?p=4203
- Done this and isnt getting alot of foldre like you are mentioning. Guess I have to use a Linux/unix shell or something like that? Isn't it a Linux based operative system that the NAS is running? Doesn't have to much knowledge about that except I've been playing with Linux Mint and Ubuntu a couple times. Did never have time to get into it though.
- SSH in as the 'root' user.

PuTTY is a good client for windows http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe
connect to the nas ip on port 22 and login with user: root password: (same as for we binterface)
