Media Streaming / Library no longer working

Post by clemon79 »

I hadn't looked in a while, but right now my Media Streaming and the native DLNA server (which has been stable for a LONG time) isn't working. The Media Streaming Add-In won't update and is telling me I have to enable the Media Library...except it IS enabled, but I notice the folders I have had configured have all disappeared. So I try to add them, apply, and they disappear again.

Is this splashover of a firmware upgrade and a known bug? Is this happening to other folks? It's ridiculously frustrating right now.

I am indeed on 4.3.3. Are there known issues with the media streaming component?

Try restarting the add-on by clicking on the restart server button. In my case, that worked but was never needed until going to 4.3.3.

I'm getting similar problems, also running 4.3.3.

When you say by clicking on the restart server button - are you talking about the NAS drive itself(!)?

I thought about that after posting and should have edited my post. In the Media streaming add-on is a button to restart the dlna server. I usually then have had to hit the refresh button to rescan for devices. Others have said this is a known Qnap bug (imagine that) but no mention if/when it will be fixed.

I've had the same problem on my TS-421U following the recent upgrade but the latest upgrade to 4.3.3.0262 (2017/07/17) thankfully seems to have got thing working again,

I have a TS-453mini. I've never faced this problem, but after upgrading to release 4.3.3.0262 (2017/07/27) I don't see any files in the directories (I used many DLNA players to check).
I have restarted the Media Streaming Add-on many times and rescan (re-index) the library. The problem is still there.

Since 4.3.3.0262 , my NAS ts112 has had the same problem, don't worry, you are not alone!

I fixed my problem with a combination of a couple of restarts and a couple of reindexes, but I notice things have been pretty stable and Multimedia Management is pretty quick to report index size and such since the last firmware upgrade, so hopefully some kind of fix was in there and the issue is at least being addressed for people who still have it.

Did someone find the solution ? I opened a ticket but they did not find anything.

I am not even capable of seeing my files at home ! My smart TV doesn't see anyhting (it shows the folders but they are empty).
I tried with my internet box which reads DLNA servers...same behaviour !
