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.

Did anything change on the NAS or your home network generally around the time it stopped working?
One other possibility is that some media file has an issue that is causing the media scanner to crash. That would explain why you see photos but nothing else. You could try turning DLNA off on all shares, and then creating a test share, copying a few music and video files that you know worked before. Then enable DLNA on just that test share, and scan again. Let us know if files will stream from the test share.
