I don't understand what you are saying here. You shouldn't be getting volume errors on your NAS.
Netgear might be interested in analyzing your logs, so you might wait a bit to give them time to respond.
One possibility is that a corrupted media file is causing ReadyDLNA to crash when it scans. You might try turning ReadyDLNA off on all your folders, and then see if you can enable the service. If that works, then you can enable ReadyDLNA one share at a time (doing a full manual scan before moving to the next). That would help you discover what share the corrupted media is in.
It cannot be corrupted data. I’m running 2 drives in JBOD. Different data on the drives. I can enable any service I desire (NFS, SMB, AFP, FTP). The files share perfectly otherwise. I just need my new TV to see it and that requires DLNA. I even tried to enable DLNA and not rescan. I saw this answer you gave to another user. I will grab logs and be ready for Netgear to respond.
Thanks,
Greg

You might be right, but the info you've provided so far doesn't rule it out. The test I suggested would.
FWIW, you could also install plex (which includes it's own DLNA server). But it'd be better to sort out what is happening with ReadyDLNA, since ReadyDLNA failing could be a symptom of a bigger problem.
Stephen,
I have a workaround already. I don't want to bother with Plex. The NAS was visible to the TV without any intervention by me the first day I had the TV. I know it's possible without a 3rd party app. Just want to get back there. The DLNA service would get me there. I hope there's a solution out there.
Thanks,
Greg
