I have similar directory structures, but I have now resolved my
issue
with dlna not being able to see the top level directory that
contained
the sublevel directories containing mkv files. I tried renaming the
top
level directory from windows but the client still couldn't see it.
It
wasn't until I refreshed the multimedia service on the server that
the
client could then see the directory, sub-directories and mkv files.
What
I don't understand is why dlna had trouble seeing the directories
but
NFS and Samba had no issues at all.
Most DLNA servers create a database containing the content. If you
changed the layout or anything like that, you have to have the DLNA
server rescan the directories to find the content and hand it off to
the
clients.
Simply adding new content doesn't usually require an explicit rescan
because the server is watching a given set of directories. Changing the
structure typically does mean a rescan because the set of directories to
be watched has changed.
Yup. Adding content sometimes requires it as well. Some servers don't
do a good job of scanning. I agree they're supposed to watch, but
minidlnad won't unless you enable inotify and event then only on
filesystems that support inotify. I know of at least one FS that
doesn't. Not sure if NFS does.
