DLNA symbolic link not working
I would like to use symbolic link with DLNA. When I create a symbolic link to /data/movies DLNA index movies but on PC/TV movies not working.
If movies is a share on private, why not just enable DLNA on that share?
I'm sorry. Movies user are deeper in pravite share e.g. /private/user_share/movies

And the ln command you posted earlier has the correct path?
BTW, did you try this with plex as well as ReadyDLNA? They might behave differently.
While I understand the motivation, for now at least it would be easy enough to work around the problem. Just create a share on /private, enable DLNA for it, and then (if desired) create the link in /private/user_share.
Maybe also post the suggestion that ReadyDLNA should follow soft-links on both playback and scanning in the idea exchange here.
On ReadyDLNA (minidlna) symbolic links not working properly. ReadyDLNA follow symbolic link but on TV/PC movies not working. BTW on router with tomato firmware symbolic link works (minidlna server).
On Plex symbolic links work prefect but i don't need so pawerfull server.

Understood. You should post a request (as a "new idea") here https://community.netgear.com/t5/Idea-Exchange-for-ReadyNAS/idb-p/idea-exchange-for-storage?topic-zoom=&sort-by=&date-range=all:
