Readynas Duo ReadyDLNA Folder Issue

Why in gods name would I want to pay for a licence to use Twonky on my ReadNas Duo, when I've already spent hard earned cash for Netgear's equivalent? Maybe because you haven't? Netgear's DLNA server is an open source project - anyone can get it for free, even though it is written by Netgear http://sourceforge.net/projects/minidlna/ I also don't know why you're having trouble, but given the "tone" of your posts, I wouldn't hold my breath for a Netgear response either

I think you're somewhat confused, whether or not its open source is not my concern, whether or not it works is. When I bought my ReadNAS DUO it claimed to support DLNA, so that’s what I expect it to do. They never claimed it part worked, half worked, or kind of worked and if they had I would of never have bothered buying it, I dont want something that can't do the job its supposed to do.. Thats pointless!

I also don’t want to install any other 3rd party application, why should I when the one incorporated in to my Readynas DUO (ReadyDLNA) is already supposed to support DLNA properly.

I don’t think it’s too much to ask that the official software that Netgear release actually works. I also don’t think it’s inappropriate to quiz them about such issues when they're clearly failing get it right, especially when its at our expense.

You might find this isn’t a problem for you, and might think it’s acceptable for you the consumer to have to hunt around for hours on end trying to resolve issues that clearly aren’t meant to be there in the first place; but me... I think it’s ridiculous and takes the ****.

I'm sorry, but any official software that’s released by the manufactures should work. Any beta testing buggy software should be tried out on end users that volunteer to test it.

If you dont like my tone, blame Netgear. If they provided a stable platform that did what it said on the tin I wouldnt be here and their wouldnt be a need for me to complain. The point of the fact is, the issue is with them and their rubbish software development and not with my supposed tone.

If you dont like the point im clearly trying to make here, move along. :slap:
