DNLA/uPnP dirctory sort order
Hi,
I'm a newby and also to the ReadyNas world.
I have been using MediaServer on my Mac to serve up my movie files to my Panasonic TV. Everything worked perfectly.
But I decided I needed a redundant NAS and through shear luck I bought a brand new unopened Pro 6 RNDP6310 together with 3 x 1G disks on ebay for a song at £500!
Anyway, I have set the Pro 6 up as a DNLA/uPnP server and moved all my movie files onto it.
Everything works fine, the Panasonic TV picks up and plays the video files no problem.
However, I notice that the Panasonc client shows the directory structure of my videos in Date/Time order while on the Mac Media server the Panasonic TV client shows them in Name sorted order.
After playing about and setting up another uPnP client on another TV a Toshiba, I see the same date/time order directory structure. So it seems that the Pro 6 is responsible for ordering the file in Date/time order.
Neither of my two TV's allow me to change the sort order.
So my question is, is it possible to mod the server on the Pro 6 so that the files are ordered alpha-numerically?
BTW: my Pro 6 is running the latest firmware and RAIDiator 4.2.19.
TIA

This works for me. Note you should stop the DLNA service first then when you restart it, rebuild the database.
cd your_media_share
find . -print | grep -v "/\." | sort -fn | while read FILE
do
touch "$FILE"
done
