MP3 files missing
I have a ready nas 104 running firmware 6.9.4.
I ripped a load of music cd's to the music share from a windows 10 pc.
When I came to review the folders in the music share all that was showing was the jpg images of the cd case. All the mp3 files were missing when viewed with the windows file explorer. If I go to a command prompt an use a "dir" command the files show up.
If I use the web admin tool for the readynas the mp3 files are missing from there too.
My windows settings are set to show hidden files. attrib shows the files are all there.
Can anyone suggest any way of getting the files back?

The files are missing in the admin tool.
I get the same when using a windows 7 pc.
I dont use any other protocols.
Kindly send us screenshots of the files when you check it on Windows explorer and in the Admin page.
Have you tried accessing the NAS through IP using the Windows explorer? i.e. \\NAS-IP
You should see that using SMB on the share

Just to clarify:
- Files are missing when you browse in the admin web ui
- The same files are missing when you look in file explorer
- Those files show up if you map the share to a network drive and do a DIR of the shared folder via CMD
Is this correct, or am I misunderstanding your posts?
If I point Groove (MS file player) at the supposidly empty folder it will play the files I would expect to see.
