Were these files showing up before? If not, were you adding new media files to the folders around the time you upgraded?

Yes, the missing files were there before the upgrades. I could see and use them on my device's.

Sometimes an odd media file might cause the DLNA scanner to crash - perhaps a file with corrupt tags, or misnamed (an avi with an mp4 file extension for example).
There is a debug toggle for older ReadyNAS, but AFAIK there is none for OS6. You could try downloading the logs though, there might be something in upnp-av.log that gives you a clue.
Perhaps try moving the "W" files to a different share temporarily, and rescan. If the other files return, then there's something going on in the W folder.

Well, It kind of works. Here's the deal, I have a folder listed movies, one that says TV shows, Sports, and so on. What had happened is that after updating to 6.5.2 my movie folder stopped showing anything after part way through the letter W so I made a 2nd movie folder and cut and paste the 27 files that were no longer showing up, now they do in the new folder. I also add a new season folder to an existing folder which did not show up on the DLNA devices but when adding for folder to season 19 it shows up. So as much as I would like to say that its a file with corrupt tags or misnamed that is not the case. I have also added 15 files to the movie folder and they show up but none after part way through the letter W. I also rolled back the two updates and that did not fix the issue. So does anyone else have any ideas? why would folders stop showing up after a (Were) was the work but after moving it to another folder it works fine and shows all 27 files that did not show up in the other folder.

Did you see anything in the logs that might give a clue?
