Is there a limit to the depth of readydlna folder?
I recently noticed I couldn't see the media from at least right now my music folders on my xbox. Thinking maybe it hadn't been refreshed I went in and did a scan but with no luck. right now for exampl...
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.
