Ready DLNA stopped working for music streaming

I am SO confused.

Ready DLNA worked just fine for the last 3 or 4 years on my ReadyNas Duo. It stopped working last night on my Oppo BD 95 Universal Disc Player.

So here is what I think I know:

Ready DLNA on my iPad and iPhone work perfectly, but they connect differently.
On the Oppo, wireless connects and I can use You Tube or Pandora, but when I go to network shares, the Read Nas no longer shows up with my shares. Searching my network from Oppo software finds nothing. I have tried everything and all suggestions from Oppo. I do not think its Oppo issue.

If I go to the NAS from a browser IP address, log in as ADMIN, I can see my shares, but when I try to access them, it asks for a login and password to the share and I can get them with this additional login and password (different than admin). I see all of the drive through my Ethernet connection just fine, of course.

I have stopped and restarted Ready DLNA. I have rebooted the ReadyNas. I am out of ideas. I cannot get the Oppo to find my shares any longer.

Can anyone help me trouble shoot this? I used this features several times a week.

Thanks!

Re: Ready DLNA stopped working for music streaming

Just turned on Windows Media Player Streaming and the Oppo found that immediately. So I now know it is Ready DLNA that is having the issue. Appreciate pointers for how to get that working again.

I found this thread:

viewtopic.php?f=22&t=66722

I am running 4.1.8. Would upgrading fix this and if not, how to I downgrade to 4.1.6 which fixed this for this user?

Thanks again.

Took a chance and updated to Ready DLNA 1.14. No change. Still cannot find my shares.

Re: Ready DLNA stopped working for music streaming

Does Windows show the ReadyNAS as a "media device" when you browse the network devices?

Any changes to your router (or wireless AP)?

Interesting. It shows the ReadyNas as a Computer, a Media Device and Storage.

Windows is discovering ReadyDLNA (e.g., the media device). So that conflicts with the theory that ReadyDLNA has suddenly stopped working. WiFi discovery can be temperamental, since some routers won't forward broadcast traffic from the LAN to the WLAN. But if the router hasn't changed, and of course it was working fine... :?

Perhaps try rebooting the router? Maybe reboot the Oppo also.

Re: Ready DLNA stopped working for music streaming

For sure windows is seeing it? This is wired, of course, and it is mapped as a network drive. But if the fact it shows as a media device as well as storage and a netwroked drive means that DLNA is working, then....

Could it be UPNP?

And I have rebooted both. Will try one more time. Appreciate your comments and help Stephen.

Can tell you that when I added Windows Media Service to the computer, the Oppo found it wirelessly right away. So what does that tell us? Must be the Nas, no? and it did work for YEARS! 🙂

Is there another DLNA I can easily install to the ReadyNas to see if it is DLNA? Is there a way to upgrade or downgrade UPNP to see if that is it? Can I get the version of DLNA that was with 4.16 to downgrade and try that? I really want this feature back.

Thanks again.

Re: Ready DLNA stopped working for music streaming

Well, the information doesn't give us a clear picture of fault. It used to work, now it doesn't, and nothing really changed. Windows sees ReadyDLNA just fine, but the Oppo doesn't. But the Oppo does see Windows. So upnp and discovery appear to be working, as does ReadyDLNA. So it is a puzzle.

There isn't any other DLNA package for the v1 products I know about.

I'd be tempted to upgrade to 4.1.14 before I tried downgrading. But you can downgrade again if you want to try that.

Too odd. I have another wireless router, perhaps I will try that with the Oppo later today.

PS. Just checked my work compuiter. It see the Nas a Media Drive, but when double clicked, cannot find any of the shares. Does that help at all? Permissions somehow?

Re: Ready DLNA stopped working for music streaming

Media device is DLNA - you won't see shares if you click it. You should see shares if you slick on the device i computer, or if you enter \\nasipaddress or \\nasname in the windows explorer address bar.

Re: Ready DLNA stopped working for music streaming

Stephen, does this mean anything?

When the Oppo worked (three or 4 years!) it opened to a shared folder I have on the Nas called Music and Videos and I could browse below that easily. When I use my work laptop to connect to the NAS, it goes to what it thinks are shared folders I do not have (Music, Videos, Movies, etc I think) and I cannot browse to the actual folder I share with all of my music and videos.

Is this a clue at all?

And where might I find older DLNA versions to tru.? 1.14 is too new I think and not working for the Oppo.

Thanks again.

If you browsed to a folder, the Oppo wasn't using DLNA at all. It was likely using CIFS or NFS. Can you post the Oppo model number and a link to the user manual?

The laptop isn't making up the share names, they almost certainly exist. You are saying that those names don't show up on Frontview's share list? Is your folder also in that list?

Re: Ready DLNA stopped working for music streaming

I disagree. In ReadyDLNA setup in Frontview you chose what folder to share with DLNA. That is what the Oppo always saw. Not what my windows machines see:



The Oppo is BDP 95.

I am not sure DLNA Is working now. I have no Music, Videos, TV, etc folders at all on my NAS. And its all so odd that it was flawless until a few days ago.

Really would appreciate more ideas.

Thanks.

I'd really like to get this working again and open to trying anything plausible. Even to just confirm for sure DLNA is working, and I am not yet convinced.

Unforutnately the Manual is not very helpful.
My Network is an experimental feature which enables the player to stream audio, video and photo from media servers on the home network... The experimental features are not officially supported. OPPO does not offer technical support via email or phone for these experimental features

So it doesn't say anything about how "my network" works.

Do you have a mobile device (tablet or smartphone)? If so perhaps install a dlna client (if one isn't there already), and use that look for ReadyDLNA as well.

You could also try rescanning the library.

Re: Ready DLNA stopped working for music streaming

Hi Stephen,

I was disagreeing with the shared folder in DLNA. That is exactly the setting and where the Oppo would open up to.

I did a rescan with no luck.

Do you have a name of a client to try on either iPad or iPhone? Or a Win 7 laptop I can have search the network wirelessly as well. Would be nice to know for sure if this is working or not.

Thanks.

Re: Ready DLNA stopped working for music streaming

OK, I now have lots more information, but now at a loss where to get help.

I have three devices capable of receiving DLNA feeds: iPhone, iPad, Oppo

I have two wireless networks. Lets call the R and I

The NAS always showed up on the Oppo when using R

I installed two clients on the iPhone and 2 on the iPad and neither of these could connect to the NAS DLNA when connect to R, the default always used faster WiFi.

Neither the Oppo nor the iPhone will take the password for I any longer.

The iPad will connect to I and when it does, it sees the NAS!!!

I is very slow. Its my backup. I'd like to get it working on the other two devices, but it would not be the ultimate solution for streaming from NAS DLNA.

Why would the faster R no longer be able to stream from the NAS or find it? It worked for years and I made no changes!!

Whew. Feels like a step forward and two backward, but would not have gotten this far without your help. SO thanks Stephen!

Now....

Re: Ready DLNA stopped working for music streaming

Does R use its own AP? IF so, what model is it, and what 802.11 protocol and frequency band are you using?

Re: Ready DLNA stopped working for music streaming

The problem is indeed, R.

Now, all devices see this and can us it for Wireless. But NONE can see the DLNA server on it any longer. So this is the issue. Now, how to fix?

What do you mean by AP Stephen?

Its a Netgear WNR2000V3. Manual is here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/WNR2000V3/WNR2000v3_SM_19AUG2010.pdf and here: http://s3.amazonaws.com/szmanuals/0914fa6351600a48ddd0b50f1aaa6886

AP -> "Access Point" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_access_point

Is WNR2000 acting as your router? What device is provding network I?

Re: Ready DLNA stopped working for music streaming

D-Link DSL modem connects to Internet and connects to a switch. Switch connects to Netgear router. Always worked flawlessly. Still does for connectivity. Just not DLNA.
