ReadyDLNA does not find all files (dirs, files missing)
Hi, I just recently purchased a RN102 (6.0.8 ) and loaded all my media files onto it. It's been on for a few days now so any DLNA indexing services should have had more than enough time to finish.. h...
You are responding a 2 year-old thread (and I suspect the bug being referred to has already been fixed).
There is no need to use SSH to force a rescan. Just use the rescan button in the web ui.
Ok. There is likely a combination of two issues-
(a) Sometimes the ReadyDLNA scanning crashes due to a multimedia file it can't parse. Since the scan is incomplete there are files missing.
(b) in order for files to be played, both the ReadyDLNA server and the player need to support the format (codecs and a transport from the NAS to the player).
The only way to fix (b) is to convert the media.
Start by doing a manual rescan from Frontview, and see if that helps (services, then streaming services - you'll find a rescan control in there).
If that doesn't help, then my guess is that you running into (a). The challenge is to find the files that are causing the crash. There is an add-on that puts ReadyDLNA into debug mode here: viewtopic.php?f=76&t=27946
If you are ok with ssh command lines, you can avoid the add-on and do a manual scan from ssh, and see where it breaks. Let us know if you are interested in that approach.
