ReadyNas Duo ReadyDLNA Rescan Media files

I've just found a solution that works for me. I use Mac OSX and just run a php script from my terminal. But I can show you how you can do the same on windows with clicking on a icon.

Remember to change the values in the start of my script to your own username/password and ip/hostname to your readynas.

This is tested on firmware RAIDiator 4.1.8 [1.00a043]. But I think it will work on others too.

PHP: http://php.net - Windows download
Howto create a batch file you can click on (and then let the script do the rest): http://www.wikihow.com/Write-a-Batch-File

If you extract php to C:\php and the php.exe will be C:\php\php.exe your script can look like this, if you copy the script to the C:\php folder:

@echo off
C:\php\php.exe -q C:\php\dlna_rescan.php

My code is here:

<?php


$username = "admin"; // Admin login username
$password = "password"; // Password for admin login
$host = "10.7.77.177"; // IP or Hostname to your Readynas
$https = true; // true = https, false = http.

function DLNA_Rescan($host,$username,$password,$ssl = true) {
    $http_data = "OPERATION=set&command=UPnPAVRescan&PAGE=Services";
    if ($ssl) {
        $fp = fsockopen("ssl://".$host,443,$errno,$errstr,30);
    } else {
        $fp = fsockopen($host,80,$errno,$errstr,30);
    }

    if (!$fp) {
        $_return = ' error: '.$errno.' '.$errstr;
        echo "[-] Something went wrong. Maybe this output will help you: \n";
        die($_return."\n");

    } else {
        $http  = "POST /get_handler HTTP/1.1\r\n".
                 "Host: ".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."\r\n".
                 "User-Agent: " . $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] . "\r\n".
                 "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n".
                 "Content-length: " . strlen($http_data) . "\r\n".
                 "Authorization: Basic ".base64_encode($username.':'.$password)."\r\n".
                 "Connection: close\r\n\r\n".
                 $http_data . "\r\n\r\n";

        fwrite($fp, $http);
        $_return = '';
        while (!feof($fp)) {
            $_return .= fgets($fp, 4096);
        }
        fclose($fp);
        if (strstr($_return,'<status>success</status>')) {
            echo "[+] DLNA Service will start rescanning now\n";
        } else {
            echo "[-] Something went wrong. Maybe this output will help you: \n";
            var_dump($_return);
            echo "\n";
        }
    }
}

DLNA_Rescan($host,$username,$password,$https);
