ReadyNAS Duo DLNA server = crap (or am I wrong?)
Just thought I would like to share this info with others, if the moderators will post this......
I have been having problems with DLNA serving to Win7 WMP12 machines in my house. After 3 months of trying to get a straight answer, this is the reply...
As far as I can tell, the ReadyNAS Duo is not fully DLNA compliant. Again, on Netgears website for the ReadNAS Duo.....see the key words DLNA Compatible.......
Media Streaming
DLNA Compatible UPnP AV
Logitech SqueezeBox
SONOS Digital Music Center
Network DVD player compatible
Windows MCE compatible
Sony Playstation 3
Microsoft XBOX 360
Media Streaming
AND.......the device is not listed on http://www.dlna.org either.
We all got duped if we thought it was DLNA complaint. I gather compliant and "compatible" are different

I have read your case and understand that you are experiencing some problems with your ReadyNAS wherein ReadyDLNA is not working through WMP12. I apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced. Since we are doing this online, it may require a few e-mail exchanges before we can resolve the issue. Please be assured that I will do my best effort to help resolve your case in the least amount of time.
To answer your query, this particular concern is happening not only with WMP but also to other ReadyDLNA server due to compliance issue, meaning this is not yet DLNA certified.

- I Also own a readynas duo, i had twonky installed and the dlna server, i usually stream media from an xbox 360, i had to wait at least 5 minutes each time for the Readynas duo to be detected in the source list (sometimes it didnt even appear). i have to say i think all slow detecting and dissapearing problems comes from using cheap routers provided by the ISP. i recently bought Linksys E4200-EW Wireless-N 450 Mbit Router Simultan Dual Band and all this problems are gone. now the twonky media server is always there when i see the source list! try testing with other routers, connecting the server directly to try to isolate the problem.
