ReadyDLNA and ReadyNAS 2100: No GUI?
I've got a ReadyNAS 2100 with the most recent RAIDiator 4.2.17 Firmware installed.
Now I've tried installing the ReadyDLNA-Service, as I did not see an option in FrontView to configure DLNA (although ReadyDLNA is alledgedly inclueded in RAIDiator).
After installing ReadyDLNA 1.0.20 (via Add-Ons -> Add New) I still did not see any changes in FrontView, so I started UPnP (not UPnP AV, I don't have this option either) -> no change. Rebooted the NAS -> no change. Installed ReadyDLNA again -> no change. Installed ReadyDLNA via System -> Update -> Local. No change. It always says "The ReadyDLNA add-on has been successfully installed." followed by "Successfully installed ReadyDLNA 1.0.20 update.", but I have absolutely no control over the DLNA-Service from FrontView!
Since installation, my DLNA Client-Device (Philips Blu-Ray Player) does find a Media Server, but with absolutely no content on it. I tried copying some media files to the pre-defined "mediaserver" share, but so far to no avail.
Is it normal that I can't configure ReadyDLNA? Is there no GUI Interface? Where do I have to place my media files to get the player recognize it?
Thanks SO much for your help!

- Try clearing your browser cache and restarting your browser - you should see a new 'Streaming Services' menu option under "Services"
- Tried it, but no "Streaming Services" menu option, regardless of browser (checked IE9/FireFox5/Chrome). :(
- Thank you so much sphardy, that one did work!
I couldn't find this Toggle Add-on anywhere on the ReadyNAS-website; where did you get it? How did you even know that it exists? Why had it been developed? Was it a bug or was it intentional, that my 2100 (Business-Class Device) did not show the Streaming Services?
Thanks! KILLI wrote:

It's expected that most (if not all) users with rackmount ReadyNAS will be using them in businesses which won't want to use the Streaming Services so it's disabled on rackmount devices by default. Some users have wanted to use these streaming services so this add-on was written which enables the UI for these services so you can enable them in Frontview. I don't think there would be as much testing of Streaming Services on rackmount devices compared to desktop devices but they should still work fine.
You can see in the Comparison Charts that Streaming Services are listed as optional for the rackmount devices.- Thanks mdgm!
I understand that most business users won't need streaming services. The reason I specifically bought the 2100 is primarily ECC-RAM. Unfortunately, only the rackmount-devices do feature ECC; with other manufacturers (Synology, Thecus etc.) even rackmount devices use non-ECC RAM, which is a no-go for companies or persons looking for data safety. I don't understand why this topic is so underestimated; people use RAID-6 and do weekly scrubbings, when a simple, single memory error can destroy the whole filesystem in the worst case. Offering rackmountable business class storage without ECC is - in my opinion - grossly negligent. Thankfully, Netgear uses ECC in this type of devices, but I'd wish that one could optionally equip consumer-level storage devices with ECC, too. Unfortunately, the widely used and therefore cheap Atom- and Core2-processors don't offer ECC-support in their chipsets.
I'm not really satisfied with the performance the 2100 offers, but the more advanced ReadyNAS with ECC are simply not affordable. - Thanks for these postings! I was going crazy with this issue on my 2100! Very poor documentation from Netgear on this one.
