Readynas Duo ReadyDLNA Folder Issue
My rubbish ReadyNAS duo is not doing what it’s supposed to do yet again! Can someone please tell me why my Netgear Readynas Duo's DLNA/UPNP function is not working properly? I have it all setup ...

Just to add to the original post, I am having problems with the DNLA server on the ReadyNas. On the new version 4.0.17 it no longer does an automatic update of the datebase when adding media files to an existing folder or a new folder.
This is causing me to having to do a manual rescan to get the files to appear on my TV which I use to watch them.
Is there a way to get the DNLA server from 4.0.16 installed onto 4.0.17 firmware.
I have tried to reinstall the DNLA 1.0.17 software ontop of 4.0.17 firmware, but still has the same issue.
So I now have two choices:
1 - Revert back to 4.0.16 as this worked for DNLA.
2 - Mess about with manual rescan and hope for a fix.
I don't intend to install twonky as beleive there is a cost and if Netgear are selling the Readynas stating it's DNLA server built in then at least it should update.
