I've just updated from a ReadyNAS Duo to a NV+ V2. Viewing my files via DLNA is showing all sorts of 'incorrect results'. To be more specific many null folder listings and files in the wrong location etc... This did happen on my Duo as well, normally when adding new folders to the share which the DLNA server was using. However in the old option I was able to press a button that caused the files to be rescanned and that fixed the problem. Now I have the same problem with the NV+ V2 but the option to rescan the files is not present. I have tried using the slider control to turn the ReadyDLNA service off and back on again. Also I have tried rebooting the NV+ V2. Neither have worked unfortunately. Could anyone shed any light on this?

What version of RAIDiator are you running? Have you tried the new RAIDiator arm 5.3.2?

Yes. I upgraded to that yesterday. Didn't seem to make any changes to the GUI (at least regards to readyDLNA anyway).

Same problem here. Null folders in readyNas Duo v2. No option to rescan folders in the interface. Is there a way do to it manually, even in SSH? Thanks.

Seems to be similar issues with the new ReadyNAS Duo v2 (running arm v5.3.2)...DLNA appears to be a bit flakey - if you update/add any files its doesn't update the DLNA side of things (i.e you correct a ID3 tag - the original is still streamed, or if you even rename a subfolder and/or a file - again the orignal version is still streamed). There appears to be no 'Rescan' option (as found on the older version 1 ReadyNAS boxes)... Even a reboot doesn't seem to fix things - only fix is a Factory Reset and ensure you only upload 'perfect' files for DLNA streaming...Also have problems with ReadyNAS Remote to iOS devices (iPhone/iPads) - keeps asking you to check/enable FTP Service on your iPhone/iPad for access - but there appears to be no way of doing this on the new ReadyNAS v2 boxes...???

From my perspective, DLNA is just not working. The thing is DLNA certified though. Is this self-certified?

By the way: happy new year...

This ReadyDLNA addon is giving me a nightmare as well. Initially i didn't twinkle with this add-on and everything was fine, I could see all files and folders on my ReadyNAS NV+ from my PS3. A couple days ago i decided to play with ReadyDLNA addon and added a couple of media folders, did the rescan/apply thing and almost everything was lost. Now i can only see 1/4 of the files and folders on my ReadyNAS.

I also have got PLEX media server running on my PC pointing to my ReadyNAS media folders and i am able to access all media contents from my JB Apple TV with Plex plugin.

My network setup is as follow: ReadyNAS and PC are hardwired (via ethernet) to my ADLS Modem/Router and my PS3 and Apple TV are via WIFI.

Only reason I want to access my ReadyNAS via the PS3 with ReadyDLNA is to watch 1080p contents. Apple TV with Plex is bloody awesome but I am missing the processing grunt from the PS3. If only somehow the PLEX plugin find its way to the PS3, my life would be complete.

Now back to the ReadyDLNA addon ... will disable this addon and see if i can get my files back ... or wait for the next ver of ReadyDLNA.

Same problem here. This is really a serious problem, especially considering the current lack of add-ons for ARM based ReadyNAS.

Did anyone open an issue/ticket about this issue?

Are you willing to try 5.3.3 beta?: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=148&t=60215

If you update to that and then download the logs zip file (open the dashboard, click Configure, go to Health > Logs and click download logs) and extract the zip contents what does upnp-av.log look like?

I just acquired my unit and I don't want to void its software warranty. But since my disks are empty, I can try the beta firmware and see what happens. But I won't be able to keep this beta firmware, since I want to have tech support.

I'll give that a try.
