ReadyDLNA does not find all files (dirs, files missing)
Hi, I just recently purchased a RN102 (6.0.8 ) and loaded all my media files onto it. It's been on for a few days now so any DLNA indexing services should have had more than enough time to finish.. however, a lot of folders are missing - completely randomly. And some folders contain only half the files - other files appear in wrong places. Why?? I was using a Buffalo WVL before (actually, I still am until I get this sorted out) with Twonky and it worked beautifully. Twonky detected all my files and the directory structure was very good. (it was the same as my directory structure) With ReadyDLNA as it's now, it's completely unusable. The folder structure isn't even correct! As an example: I have 20 .mpeg files in one directory but this directory is not showing up - instead one of the .mpeg files shows up in the root (in "folder" view on TV). :? How is this even possible? If ReadyDLNA has found the directory and the files in it, why not just show the whole directory? Why would it skip 19 files and "move" the last one to root? Photos from my last holiday won't even show up. I used 2 cameras, a sony compact and a nikon dlsr. So I have 2 directories called "Sony" and "Nikon". Both contain .jpg's For some reason only Sony shows up :? :? Twonky displays both.. I must have missed something. Where's the re-indexing button? Or how do I install Twonky? (I'm using a SONY 46" EX500 if it matters)Solved42KViews0likes32CommentsPlex Cloud Alternative - ReadyNAS NAS Storage
Barb Gonzalez of SoundAndVision.com posted a great article about using ReadyNAS NAS Storage as an alternative to the soon-to-be-canceled Plex Cloud. We've posted a few snippets below. Read the entire article: Plex Cloud Is Gone But Here’s a Viable Alternative. Have you used ReadyNAS For Plex? Let us know your feedback below. >> Streaming media company, Plex has announced the end of its Plex cloud. For Plex Cloud users with large libraries the question becomes: Where can I save movie files so they’re always accessible without having to leave a computer powered on all the time? The answer: A network attached storage (NAS) drive, of course. Users could save their media libraries online to stream to the Plex app on devices at home or on the road. The end of the Plex Cloud means users now have to store their media files on computers or hard drives at home. Plex Cloud Is Gone But Here’s a Viable Alternative | Sound & Vision For home theater enthusiasts who’ve invested in large movie libraries, it’s worth considering as a replacement for the Plex Cloud. The 626X is easy to use, provides fast access to files, and delivers an experience akin to having an external hard drive connected to a computer. The NAS effectively becomes your own personal cloud.41KViews5likes14Comments
Using Amazon Echo To Access ReadyNAS DLNA
Currently I access the ReadyNAS DLNA server via my blu-ray player, which is attached to my TV (obviously) and my home stereo system. I'm looking at the Amazon Echo/tap devices as an alternative, primarily because I can control them via a smartphone/tablet app which give me the ability to not have to be in the same room as the blu-ray player using it's remote control device to select which media to play. I can't seem to find anything that states how, if at all possible, I can access the ReadyNAS DLNA service from the Echo/Tap. The product specs for the Echo/tap play up all the, for lack of a better word, non-local services the device can use to play media. I want to be able to access the media locally.Solved38KViews0likes3Comments
DLNA over the internet ?
Hi All, This may be a stupid question in more ways than one, but I'll ask it anyway cos the prospect intrigues me. I've got all my media (music, photos and video) on my Readynas Ultra 6 plus, I've enabled DLNA on the device and I'm streaming my media using nPlayer on the iPad, on my LAN it works great, absolutely flawless and I'm really pleased I can stream directly off the NAS without computers/servers being involved in the mix. But what I want to know is can I extend this further and stream over the internet ?. For example if I go to stay in a hotel and I'm on their WIFI how can I get access to my media, I want to use DLNA or similar if possible. So what ports would I need to open on my router, what kind of port forwarding would I need to setup ??. I must stress I want to use my NAS and iPad only, no computers or servers in the mix (so I'm ruling out Air Video and StreamToMe etc). Is what I'm proposing doable, what are the security implications of exposing my NAS to the internet and can it even be done ? Any advice welcome. Thanks25KViews0likes8Comments
Any way to get rid of certificate error using Netgear/Jalbum
I followed the instructions from the How to section to setup my ReadyNas Nv+ to act as a webserver and it works flawlessly. So far, so good. The only problem I have is the certificate error which I cannot seem to be able to get rid off. Is this just impossible or is there a way?20KViews0likes20Comments
Security for DLNA content?
Hi, does anyone know if there's a way to restrict DLNA playback of videos on my NAS? For example if people on my wifi can see my NAS, right now anyone can view any of the DLNA content. How can I restrict that to authorized users, or require a password?19KViews0likes4Comments

Hi all, I wish to use airplay on my squeezebox devices via the squeezebox media server (multi room purpose). Can one of you point me in the right direction? I'm new to the whole NAS thing but not afraid to fiddle with it. One way seems to be a plugin called ShairPort - any experiences and/or good guides?

I'm using a ReadyNAS 10200 to stream music To a Samsung BD5800 with the inbuilt DLNA server. Firmware is latest version 6.5 albums are sorted in individual folders, and tracks are named 01- track name.mp3, 02 - track name.mp3, etc. files are displaying and playing in alphabetical order of the track name, ignoring it seems the ID3 tag track number AND the track numbers in the file name. I can also stream to iPad running VLC player app with the same server and it displays and plays in the same order, so I am assuming this is an issue with the server and not the receiver(s). is there any way to make the album tracks display in track order?Solved13KViews0likes7Comments
