HI,Last Night i wanted to watch a movie from my readyNas on my Samsung Smart Tv and it told me there were no movie files on the server, yet in my TV shows folder it showed all of those no problems., Now it keeps saying it cant connect and goes back to main menu.I have been watching without any issues for the last 12 months, and now suddenly it decides it doesn't want to play anymore.I have been looking at getting a better Model, but since i can still watch using the Plex App on my Xbox one, i am wondering if it may be a TV issue rather than the NAS unit?Any help offered would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

Did you try rebooting the ReadyNAS?

Yep sure did, reset the router as well. nothing has worked

Maybe try enabling ReadyDLNA on the share, and see if the Smart TV sees that. Does your Samsung have a plex app? Or are you using the built-in DLNA client?

The Tv SEE's the Readyshare as it is showiing as a Readyshare Icon in the Input menu, but when i try to connect to it i get a message saying the action cannot be performed at this time. that was after i restarted the NAS unit. Before that it logged into the unit, saw the MOVIES folder and TV Shows folder, i could watch the TV shows, but when i went into movies folder to select one to watch it said there were no video files in the folder. yet Plex can see it and watch it ( using my Xbox One) i dont like the plex app on the tv as it is very slow compared to the xbox app.I have tried updating them both on NAS and TV but still very slow

ReadySHARE icon? I was thinking the ReadyDLNA server on the NAS (which would need to be enabled for each share). Did you also double-check the plex server settings, and see that the plex dlna server is enabled?

Smart Tv has stopped playing movies from my ReadyNas

  Perhaps double-check that DLNA is enabled in the media shares, and then do a manual scan from system->settings.

    Hi StephenB
    
    Thanks. I've just checked and DLNA was selected. I've also rescanned. Still not working . I noticed however that I could see my pictures but still no video or music.

  Just in case you have not noticed yet.
  
  We have a new firmware release.

    My problem was resolved by doing what StephenB suggested (ie create new share etc). I didn't end up going through with the second suggestion of trying to work out which file may have been causing the problem.
