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.

Chokobanana, thank you for posting the below, sadly I am a SSH/linux/unix (I don't even know what OS it is!) newbie, so have tried to follow the instructions, but am stuck. I expect I am making a simple mistake and hope you can help!!!
I have a MS2110 Netgear NAS, and have managed to SSH in to root access, and I was able to search for the minidlna process, and also got similar from the help file (no "-S changes behaviour for systemd", but the rest was the same word for word), as below:
"Usage:
/usr/sbin/minidlna [-d] [-f config_file]
[-a listening_ip] [-p port]
[-s serial] [-m model_number]
[-t notify_interval] [-P pid_filename]
[-w url] [-R] [-V] [-h]
Notes:
Notify interval is in seconds. Default is 895 seconds.
Default pid file is /var/run/minidlna.pid.
With -d minidlna will run in debug mode (not daemonize).
-w sets the presentation url. Default is http address on port 80
-h displays this text
-R forces a full rescan
-V print the version number"
I've tried to force a full rescan with the below command:
bash-3.2# /usr/sbin/minidlna -R
but all that happens is the help opens again. I notice you used $ systemctl stop minidlna to stop the process, but systemctl doesn't appear to be a command in my version. Instead I've tried rebooting the NAS figuring that would stop the process and I could try to start the full rescan command on a clean boot, but this also had the same effect of opening the help rather than rescanning.
I've tried:
/usr/sbin/minidlnad -R
/usr/sbin/minidlna -d -R
and other variations with no luck
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong please? What do I need to type into the terminal to force a rescan?
Many thanks!!!
