DLNA multimedia directory automatic generated folders

Post by ex-pat scot »

The TOS help notes that when you enable Multimedia Server, then "certain folders such as Video, Photo and Music folders, are automatically generated".
This has not happened for my F5-221.
I have created a shared folder "public" with all shared permissions for subfolders, which contain lots of video, tv and music files.
I have added this in Multimedia Server-GEneral- Select Multimedia directories - into the "enabled" window.
However these are not visible to my network over uPNP or NFS.

I don't know if this problem is because I am missing the default Video, Photo, Music folders.

Have you recently updated the software? i found my Multimedia app all reset to the default video, music and photo defaults when i updated, strangely the other DLNA Media sever app kept all the directories that i set.

No - this is a fresh install (Saturday) with a new NAS.
New install of 4.1.30 TOS

I presume you have enabled the server and applied the setting? and these shares are not showing up on you local network at all?

YEs - server is enabled "Enable multimedia server" box is ticked on the General tab.
The shares are showing up in my file manager. And for other users as well
