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.. however, a lot of folders are missing - completely randomly. And some folders contain only half the files - other files appear in wrong places. Why??
I was using a Buffalo WVL before (actually, I still am until I get this sorted out) with Twonky and it worked beautifully. Twonky detected all my files and the directory structure was very good. (it was the same as my directory structure)
With ReadyDLNA as it's now, it's completely unusable. The folder structure isn't even correct! As an example: I have 20 .mpeg files in one directory but this directory is not showing up - instead one of the .mpeg files shows up in the root (in "folder" view on TV). :? How is this even possible? If ReadyDLNA has found the directory and the files in it, why not just show the whole directory? Why would it skip 19 files and "move" the last one to root?
Photos from my last holiday won't even show up. I used 2 cameras, a sony compact and a nikon dlsr. So I have 2 directories called "Sony" and "Nikon". Both contain .jpg's For some reason only Sony shows up :? :? Twonky displays both..
I must have missed something. Where's the re-indexing button? Or how do I install Twonky? (I'm using a SONY 46" EX500 if it matters)

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 has an RN104 - completely different from your duo V1.
Are all of your files missing, or just some?
I Have ReadyNAS Duo V1 and had the same problem as Chokobanana (my Video dir only showed the first 60 or so maps) and his method solved it for me. - StephenBGuru - Experienced User
His method is simply to re-scan the media files from the SSH command line instead of doing it through frontview. myddleman is hesitant to use ssh, and in this case the frontview rescan should be equivalent - at least I have always found that it rescans.NiLe wrote: I Have ReadyNAS Duo V1 and had the same problem as Chokobanana (my Video dir only showed the first 60 or so maps) and his method solved it for me. - myddlemanAspiranthi i found in the upnpav folder some songs in albums that could not be found. I looked in
those music folders and found a few things that were not music related so i deleted them and rescanned, all folders have now shown up in the dnla netowrk
and now everything is fine.
thanks for everyones help. :D - StephenBGuru - Experienced UserGreat!
I suggest that you switch out of the debug mode then (as you don't really want all that logging all the time). You do that by re-installing the debug add-on (the second install is really an uninstall). - myddlemanAspirantwill come out of debug mode thankyou

There's still a bug in there though.. the auto/rescan function does NOT work as it should. And the manual button makes absolutely no sense. At least write in the log that something is happening.
I confirm Choko's Diagnosis on a RN102 that is also concerned by the minidnla Bug...
This affects a LG TV DNLA Access : LG42LA660S which used to work with Lacie or Iomega Nas or Network Drives.
Am installing new firmware to check if correction really works.
Nevertheless : I get serveral of these during manual rescan :
metadata.c:742: warn: Opening /data/Videos/Series/Videos/N.c.i.s._M6_2012_01_27_22_30.flv failed! [Invalid data found when processing input]
scanner.c:488: warn: Unsuccessful getting details for /data/Videos/Series/Videos/N.c.i.s._M6_2012_01_27_22_30.flv!
Any ideas on this (will search the forums meanwhile).. - olestGuideThis bug with the rescan button is fixed in latest beta i think.
