Is there a limit to the depth of readydlna folder?

I've been having a problem with DLNA from my NV+ (4.1.8) to my Xbox 360 that sounds similar.

I have a folder called "VIDEOS" shared via DLNA. There are video files in that root VIDEOS folder as well as subfolders like "MOVIES", "TV", etc with their own subfolders and files - a total of 28 files and folders at the root level. My Xbox only shows the "first" 10 of them (skipping a few items), and in the MOVIES folder it only shows the "first" 21" subfolders (skipping a few items) out of over 60 items. The TV subfolder doesn't show up at all and has dozens of show subfolders with hundreds episode files organized into season subfolders.

Annoyingly, the Xbox cannot play many of the files in MKV format, which i understand. However that means most of the items displayed on my Xbox are empty folders.

I just upgraded to the v1.0.24.3 of the ReadyDLNA plugin (i don't remember what version it was, perhaps .22?). Same results.

I cannot say for sure, but i seem to remember in the past i was able to browse all my videos from my Xbox. My video library has changed and increased over time, but i don't remember such a strange limit/cutoff before.

As an experiment, i removed my original VIDEOS folder from ReadyDLNA, then added just the two MOVIES and TV subfolders directly. Rescanned. Now only those 21 subfolders from the MOVIES folders show up, and none from TV.

So is there a limit to the number of items in the ReadyDLNA database that would prevent "newly added" items or items above that limit from being displayed?

My Xbox is currently listing 6127 songs (idk how many folders or path depth that is) in Music Player from ReadyDLNA plus those 21 movie subfolders in Video Player.

After more searching and reading, i checked my upnp-av.log. The latest entries look like this:

scanner.c:798: warn: Scanning /c/media/MUSIC finished (6127 files)! scanner.c:727: warn: Scanning /c/media/VIDEOS/MOVIES upnphttp.c:1227: error: send(res_buf): 14600 bytes sent (out of 253872)

Variations of that c:1227 error repeat 8 times.

In the past it appears it would never finish building a database and on every boot would start recreating a new one. This set of entries is repeated every time my NV+ started since the plugin changed to 1.0.22 from 1.0.18.2.

Some technical background info on ReadyDLNA/MiniDLNA that is probably related:

With all that in mind, it seems to me that ReadyDLNA and/or the NV+ hardware is choking on the size or number of video files i have (some movie files are up to 10GB).

I thought I had noted in all posts relating to this that I thought I found my solution. It turned out that at least for now that readydlna didn't like my naming convention of having comma's in the folder name at least for the primary folder. The largest video file I can see is about 3GB's in WMV format but I don't have anything bigger that I know of and most music is 12-13 MB's.

When I take the commas away I get a scan and don't see "/c/media/VIDEOS"<- this kind of format in the folder setup.

Hope this add to others solutions to problems.
