DLNA multimedia directory automatic generated folders

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?
