ReadyDLNA rescan in NV+ V2
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 ...
Hi All,
I was having similar problems with my Netgear Readynas Duo v2. Similar problem, no way to force a rescan of the media. To resolve the issues with NULL folders try deleting the folder.jpg in the affected directories. After this you will need to force minidlna to rescan as follows ....
1. Install the root ssh access add-on if not already done
2. Login as root (default password will be the admin password)
3. Find the minidlna process
$ps -eaf | grep minidlna
4. Kill the minidlna process with the following command
$kill -15 <process id>
5. Restart the minidlna process with the following comnad
$minidlna -R -f /etc/minidlna.conf
This will restart with the -R (Rescan) option which will rebuild the mysql database. It takes a good while, so be prepared for a wait if you have a large media collection.
If you still have problems, try killing the minidlna process and start it with the debug option .....
$minidlna -d -f /etc/minidlna.conf
Monitor the output for any errors ... or save the log to check it offline
$minidlna -d -f /etc/minidlna.conf | tee -a /tmp/minidlna.log
Hope this helps!
