ReadyDLNA does not enable

Question

Readynas DLNA does not enable. I have tried the solutions listed on the site with no luck. I get the you must have a volume error sometimes. Mostly the service never enables even though I have it enabled on the shares themselves. I went back to 6.9.1 manually then back to 6.9.2 again. It made no difference. I also can’t see any apps anymore. I don’t think I even had any installed, but I can’t be sure. My only want is to have my new LG tv see my ReadyNAS. The tv saw it the first day I had it, but the second day it disappeared. I restarted the NAS and upgraded the firmware to try to resolve it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

Greg

I don't understand what you are saying here.&nbsp; You shouldn't be getting volume errors on your NAS.

Netgear might be interested in analyzing your logs, so you might wait a bit to give them time to respond.
&nbsp;
One possibility is that a corrupted media file is causing ReadyDLNA to crash when it scans.&nbsp; You might try turning ReadyDLNA off on all your folders, and then see if you can enable the service.&nbsp; If that works, then you can enable ReadyDLNA one share at a time (doing a full manual scan before moving to the next).&nbsp; That would help you discover what share the corrupted media is in.

It cannot be corrupted data. I’m running 2 drives in JBOD. Different data on the drives. I can enable any service I desire (NFS, SMB, AFP, FTP). The files share perfectly otherwise. I just need my new TV to see it and that requires DLNA. I even tried to enable DLNA and not rescan. I saw this answer you gave to another user. I will grab logs and be ready for Netgear to respond.

Thanks,

Greg

You might be right, but the info you've provided so far doesn't rule it out.&nbsp; The test I suggested would.
&nbsp;
FWIW, you could also install plex (which includes it's own DLNA server).&nbsp; But it'd be better to sort out what is happening with ReadyDLNA, since ReadyDLNA failing could be a symptom of a bigger problem.

Stephen,I have a workaround already. I don't want to bother with Plex. The NAS was visible to the TV without any intervention by me the first day I had the TV. I know it's possible without a 3rd party app. Just want to get back there. The DLNA service would get me there. I hope there's a solution out there.Thanks,Greg

Well, the only ideas I have are to

look at upnp_av.log and system.log for errors related to DLNA
try the troubleshooting procedure I suggested earlier in the thread
See if you can play media using DLNA from a different device (mobile phone or PC).
try a different DLNA server (e.g. plex) and see if it functions differently
back up the data, do a factory reset, rebuild the NAS and restore the data

The last suggestion is time-consuming and won't help if the issue is related to a corrupted media file (which it sometimes is).
