ReadyDLNA does not enable
Readynas DLNA does not enable. I have tried the solutions listed on the site with no luck. I get the you must have a volume error sometimes. Mostly the service never enables even though I have it ena...
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,

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
Well, the only ideas I have are to
- look at upnp_av.log and system.log for errors related to DLNA
- try the troubleshooting procedure I suggested earlier in the thread
- See if you can play media using DLNA from a different device (mobile phone or PC).
- try a different DLNA server (e.g. plex) and see if it functions differently
- back up the data, do a factory reset, rebuild the NAS and restore the data
The last suggestion is time-consuming and won't help if the issue is related to a corrupted media file (which it sometimes is).
