Mediaserver does not show all files that I can see browsing from Windows.

[msg5000]

   

i recently purchased a LS-CHL1.0TB drive to use as a personal media server.(FW 1.06?I think. will check and update) I am very happy with the product performance, but there are a large number of files that I cannot see through the media server.

I enabled the MediaServer and made sure that it was started by connecting to it with my PS3.

 

i copied all the .MP4 and AVI files i had on my Vista32 to a folder named Movies on the NAS.  

 

I then Copied all files from my external hard drive(FAT32) to a different folder on the NAS.  (this hard drive was previously connected directly to my PS3 and all the content displayed and played correctly.)

I then moved these MP4 and AVI files from that folder on the NAS to the Movies folder on the NAS.

 

When I connected with my PS3, I could only see the files that were copied directly to the Movies folder from my Vista32, not those that were copied from the external harddrive to a folder then moved to the movies folder.

 

I have tried restarting the mediaserver with the same result. 

 

All files can be seen and played from my vista32 system.

 

is there a limit to the number of files that the mediaserver will display, or is there something that I need to do to get those moved files to be seen correctly?  Would a reboot help?

 

thanks for any help you can give me.

I updated my FW to 1.07 and rebooted and now the files are all visible.

 

Do I need to reboot the NAS everytime I add new files to the shared folders to be able to see them through the mediaserver?

Theres an option when you set it up to to automatically refresh the data base.  Make sure that box is checked.
