media players not showing recent files

[scottrenata]

I have 5 media players around the house all with wired connection, they have had no problem streaming video from Nas for the last 2 years, but in the last couple of weeks i cant see any recent files added to the Nas with any of the players. I have no problem viewing the files with my computer? please help.

Go into the web ui, and navigate to system->settings->services.  Click on the ReadyDLNA service, and you will see a rescan button.

Are you using ReadyDLNA or Plex?

If ReadyDLNA, did you try doing a manual rescan?

Im am using DLNA and dont really know how to do a manual rescan. Although I started looking into Plex and maybe i should download the apps and start using plex what do u think?

FWIW, sometimes this problem is triggered by a somewhat corrupted media file that crashes the scanner.
