Media Streaming Add-on Will Not Start

Post by danno321 »

I just upgraded QTS to latest general release on my TS-251A but this was a problem on previous release too: Media Streaming Add-on crashes on Start-Up. There is no useful detail in the QULog.
TS-251A 2017 (previously TS-239 Pro 2009).

Make sure you are using the correct version of the add-on for your QTS. You can check on the QNAP download app site with your QTS version. The latest version 500.1.1 is required for QTS 4.5.1, but i have to warn you that it is buggy and breaks DLNA. It will no longer update your file directories when viewed from a DLNA device. You must manually update the directories everytime you add a file to the NAS. Go to Control Panel, Applications, DLNA Media Server and click on Scan Now. I am surprised this has not been fixed. It's been broken since July 2020 with version 444.1.3.1...

Update: I got the Multimedia Add-on working by resetting the directories list in the DLNA Media Server. But I noticed that the new version of the add-on sorts files differently in the Latest Added directory. It shows renamed files as a new file, but files that are over written are no longer listed.
