ReadyDLNA rescan in NV+ V2

Well.... good question. I am looking at the log and don't think that every time that set of lines appears I have rebooted. I've rebooted maybe 3 times in the last two days but that set of lines has appeared many more times than that.

Also, is it significant that "creating new database" and "scanning media" appear only once each in the log, apparently back at the factory?

Update: Just to check, I did a system reboot (from dashboard) and the following entries appeared in the upnp-av.log (note, yes, I had an abba folder on my media share along with many other music folders; it just happened to be the first alphabetically). I've since deleted both it and the "hilarys pictures" folder from the c:\media share, and moved them along with all my other files/folders into individual shares (pictures, music, videos), but the readyNAS is still looking for those two in their original locations, and doesn't see anything in the new shares. What does it take to get the readynas to rescan the data?

So any progress/update on that bug.
I'm on Duo v2 with latest firmware 5.3.3 and the problem still occurs.
Where is the source code for that plugin?

Try updating to ReadyDLNA 1.0.24: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=27946

To install on the Dashboard, click Configure, go to the Add-ons tab, click the + button at the far right, browse for the location where you downloaded the add-on, upload the add-on etc.

After updating to 1.0.24 if that doesn't fix it this add-on will remove the ReadyDLNA database and thus force the ReadyDLNA database to be rebuilt on the new version: http://rnasguide.com/wp-content/addons/arm/DLNAREBUILDDB_0.1-arm.bin

Thx,

DLNAREBUILDDB_0.1-arm.bin helped ;)

But is't just a workaround.

1. Please Add this functionality to the GUI as add on or directly to the firmware in the ReadyDLNS service section as a button.
or
2. Please fix that issue :) renaming/removing folders or files should update DLNS DB.

Any more updates on this?? My ReadyDLNA is stuffed!! folders will not update, empty folders everywhere... will only browse 2 levels of folders etc. etc.... very frustrating

my bad, didn't see the most recent posts regarding DLNAREBUILDDB_0.1-arm.bin

This works for me too but as przemek,ch said, this is just a workaround and would like a proper fix, shouldn't have to have any user intervention at all....

Thanks....

Netgear Support - please consider this an official cry for help. I'm trying the DLNA rebuild add-on now, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE build a "rescan" button into the GUI. Please, don't ever make me sit through another 30 minute call with tech support on this issue (case 17985996), only to have them try to troubleshoot my hard drive.

Has there been any updates from netgear yet ?

No word yet...but the DLNAREBUILDDB_0.1-arm.bin workaround did the trick. Rebuilt the database and everything shows up just fine now. Hopefully our friends at Netgear will be kind enough to build a Rescan button into the GUI in the future. Please, oh please?!

I too have no end of problems with DLNA on ARM with my NV+ V2 4-bay READYNAS (which I purchased last week).

I put in the latest DLNA firmware mentioned above, and have tried the "DLNAREBUILDER" twice now. The presentation layer from the NAS is sketchy - folders that used to be there are shown - not all folders present are shown...drill down and it's just either sparsely populated, or altogether missing. I would really like to see an update from NETGEAR. I pretty much exclusively use their prosumer products to run my home and business, and would like to say they came to the table when trouble hit.

At first I thought it was the Sony PS3 that I use as my main media server, but two other DLNA clients (one Android, one iPad) confirmed that the directory structure (database) being presented by the NAS's DLNA function is just plain wrong (exactly consistent with the PS3's hosed directory structure).

NETGEAR - Please push this one up in the priority list! Since I have a media company, this is VERY important to me, and I've already scrapped the "Frankensteined" PS3 media server I built to get the basic functionality for clients.
