ReadyNAS 104 DLNA Service Not Working.
I have a couple of ReadyNAS 104 that I am re-purposing, I have completely restored to default and then created a share on both boxes and enabled DLNA service, but I cannot see the two storage options...
So it seems that the NAS is not finding any of your media. Something to try is to load just a few pictures or audio files initially, if you have a 'media' share by default use that. Then rescan from the UI and again check the status.
Under Shares I have allowed 'Anonymous and Any Host'
And under Network Access I have enabled DLNA and set to All for media type.

Did you try rescanning? (system->services)
Yes, many times, I have even switched the unit off and restarted it many times, but still not allowing it to be seen on the network from any of the TV's.
Not sure if it helps but I can install a DLNA server on the PC and tell it that all the storage is on the RAID and it plays fine then to any of the TV's, but this is the TV's seeing the software, not the TV's seeing the DLNA Server of the ReadyNAS.

FWIW I have Plex running on a PC in similar fashion (which gives me real-time transcoding).
You could try enabling plex (and disabling ReadyDLNA) on the RN104, just to see if the TVs pick that up. Also, you can check to see if the PCs see the RN104's DLNA server (it usually shows up under Media Devices)
Tried repeatedly to install PLEX Server, seems to go through the motions but does not install.
I know that I can run a DLNA Server via a PC and set it to look at the drives, but the aim for this is to install these in some offices as standalone devices, was hoping to test but it looks like its not going to work.
