ReadyDLNA Turning off Automatically?

Up until a few weeks ago my Smart TV could view my ReadyNas with no issues. But now it seems that after about 5 minutes of watching something that is streamed to my TV from my NAS the ReadyDLNA turns itself off and the TV looses the connection. I can go to my PC and turn it back on but again after a few minutes its again turns of the ReadyDLNA.

 

I checked the forums and a solved post suggested a re-scan, that i tried yesterday, twice, with reboots and then managed to stream to my TV with no problem for hours. Problem solved i thought, that was untill i treid to watch something today and were back to the same problem.

 

If i leave my settings page open and refresh every 10 minutes or so, i notice that the ReadyDLNA stays on, but as soon as i start stream to the TV, it turns off.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix, or what might be causing this? Both my NAS and TV have up to date firmware, my TV has had a recent update but this issue has been an issue since before that last update (i was hopefull that would fix it).

  • ReadyDLNA might be crashing.  Sometimes this is triggered when a corrupted media file is added to one of the shares.

     

    Try downloading the log zip file from the NAS and looking in upnp-av.log.

    • Thanks for the reply, looking at that log now. It seems the logs timestamps start at about the time i started getting the issue. The first few lines on the log says they are listening on a port and then HTTP Connection closed unexpectedly. Looking down the long list their do seem to be a few files that it doesnt like, so ive deleted them
