UPnP sharing issue

  • Hi guysI have an OMV box and I installed the Minidlna plugin to stream media content via an Xbox running XBMC, I have a variety of video, music & photos and everything works fine except for one thing XBMC is reporting the file size of the movies as 0 bytes and consequently wont play them, the problem appears to be that each movie file resides in it's own folder along with other files such as .png, .jpg, .tbn & .nfo I know this is the problem because out of 110 movie folders only 1 of them has no other files other than the movie file itself and it reports the correct file size and plays fine, I tried setting the movie share to both video and all media but it makes no difference


    Any help or advice any can offer would be much appreciated

  • Odd way? To have movies in a extra folder is not odd. I have it too. Works fine for both plex and xbmc.

  • Hi guys


    Thanks for your replies


    "PlexMediaServer will probably work fine."


    I don't know anything about PlexMediaServer, can you explain to me what Plex does and how it might solve my problem ?



    Many thanks

  • It has a DLNA server too. This one could work better for you.

    Odd to me for sure..


    My setup is like this:
    /Movies/file
    /TV_Shows/Series_Name/Season/file


    Regardless, glad Plex worked out

    This is also used by people who save nfos and artwork directly where the movie is stored.
