Ready DLNA stopped working for music streaming
I am SO confused.
Ready DLNA worked just fine for the last 3 or 4 years on my ReadyNas Duo. It stopped working last night on my Oppo BD 95 Universal Disc Player.
So here is what I think I know:
Ready DLNA on my iPad and iPhone work perfectly, but they connect differently.
On the Oppo, wireless connects and I can use You Tube or Pandora, but when I go to network shares, the Read Nas no longer shows up with my shares. Searching my network from Oppo software finds nothing. I have tried everything and all suggestions from Oppo. I do not think its Oppo issue.
If I go to the NAS from a browser IP address, log in as ADMIN, I can see my shares, but when I try to access them, it asks for a login and password to the share and I can get them with this additional login and password (different than admin). I see all of the drive through my Ethernet connection just fine, of course.
I have stopped and restarted Ready DLNA. I have rebooted the ReadyNas. I am out of ideas. I cannot get the Oppo to find my shares any longer.
Can anyone help me trouble shoot this? I used this features several times a week.
Thanks!

- Just turned on Windows Media Player Streaming and the Oppo found that immediately. So I now know it is Ready DLNA that is having the issue. Appreciate pointers for how to get that working again.
~Bob - I found this thread:

I am running 4.1.8. Would upgrading fix this and if not, how to I downgrade to 4.1.6 which fixed this for this user?
Thanks again.
~Bob - Took a chance and updated to Ready DLNA 1.14. No change. Still cannot find my shares.
~Bob - Does Windows show the ReadyNAS as a "media device" when you browse the network devices?
Any changes to your router (or wireless AP)? - Interesting. It shows the ReadyNas as a Computer, a Media Device and Storage.
~Bob - And no changes to the router, Stephen.

Windows is discovering ReadyDLNA (e.g., the media device). So that conflicts with the theory that ReadyDLNA has suddenly stopped working. WiFi discovery can be temperamental, since some routers won't forward broadcast traffic from the LAN to the WLAN. But if the router hasn't changed, and of course it was working fine... :?rebop wrote: And no changes to the router...
Perhaps try rebooting the router? Maybe reboot the Oppo also.- For sure windows is seeing it? This is wired, of course, and it is mapped as a network drive. But if the fact it shows as a media device as well as storage and a netwroked drive means that DLNA is working, then....
Could it be UPNP?
And I have rebooted both. Will try one more time. Appreciate your comments and help Stephen.
Can tell you that when I added Windows Media Service to the computer, the Oppo found it wirelessly right away. So what does that tell us? Must be the Nas, no? and it did work for YEARS! :)
Is there another DLNA I can easily install to the ReadyNas to see if it is DLNA? Is there a way to upgrade or downgrade UPNP to see if that is it? Can I get the version of DLNA that was with 4.16 to downgrade and try that? I really want this feature back.
Thanks again.
~Bob - Well, the information doesn't give us a clear picture of fault. It used to work, now it doesn't, and nothing really changed. Windows sees ReadyDLNA just fine, but the Oppo doesn't. But the Oppo does see Windows. So upnp and discovery appear to be working, as does ReadyDLNA. So it is a puzzle.
There isn't any other DLNA package for the v1 products I know about.
I'd be tempted to upgrade to 4.1.14 before I tried downgrading. But you can downgrade again if you want to try that. - Would logs help at all?
Any other ideas?
Too odd. I have another wireless router, perhaps I will try that with the Oppo later today.
~Bob
PS. Just checked my work compuiter. It see the Nas a Media Drive, but when double clicked, cannot find any of the shares. Does that help at all? Permissions somehow?
thanks again....
