Did you use a new program to rip and encode the movies? Or were they downloaded from a different source than previous movies?

With the original survey being long gone, how do we sign up for anything new?

If you were already in, you still are in. It's just in a lull at the moment.

Ahh. I don't know the answer then. You'll have to wait for Travis and see if they open it up again.

Burned with the same program, but the bigger issue is that the reorganized movies that already play aren't showing up.

Oh I missed that from before. That's not good. Do the old movies still play from the old location on Xbox or iPad? Do they play from the new location on pc?

If I move the movie and try playing it from the old location on the Xbox it does not work. If I move it back it plays. I can play them via PC wherever they are without a problem.

Just got an invite for the Nighthawk X4S - AC2600 router. I've had the AC1900 for over a year and couldn't be happier...I wonder what the newer version has improved on, besides adding a fourth antenna.

Edit: It seems like AC#### refers to speed and not a specific model. The one I was invited to was the R7800, my current router is the R7000.

Same for me - first opportunity I've gotten in a very long time! I figured by this point I had been dropped from the program for some reason.

Wee, how are the movies on your NAS indexed? I have Plex installed on mine, and my Roku has Plex app that it uses to find the movie. If I were to just copy a new movie to the NAS (or move a movie) without refreshing Plex, I'd have the same problems you are having. It would need to update the index.

I don't have an xbox, so I'm not sure how it is trying to find the content. I assume it created an index that it uses to find your available movies. I can't imagine that it recreates the list every time you try to access it. I think you need to find a way to force it to refresh that list.

Edit because typos.

MOst likely it will need a refresh as Ark said.

you can also set Plex so that everytime something is added to the folder it "autorefreshes".

I only use the Xbox Media Player app. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, removing the Xbox from the network, restarting everything and nothing helps. Re-indexing is probably the answer. No idea how to do that. I'll ask @xboxsupport and see if they have any idea. Thanks for the help

It seems the common answer for people using a PC is to force Windows Media Player to refresh the index. There are several ways to do this.

But, since you are using a NAS I don't know - it's probably your Mac's fault.

So, I also asked teh google and got another idea:
Does the xbox Media Player access the server through DLNA? If so, check this post: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/23069/~/what-is-the-readydlna-streaming-service-and-how-do-i-enable-it-on-my-readynas

Do you have Plex or any other media management program installed, or do you just drop the files in a folder on the NAS and hope for the best? If you haven't already, you may try installing Plex, then use that to manage your media. If the xbox Media Player can see the Plex server, it would almost certainly do better at seeing your new content as you add it and Plex indexes it.

Another confirmed R7800 recipient. I'm stoked because I just moved to a larger house and was about to buy a new wifi router. Amazon listing says it will sell for $269 starting out...not a bad freebie!

Yup! And since my current router is just the older model of the same thing, I can throw the old one on eBay for a decent bit of extra cash.

Anyone having any problems with their ReadNas 314? I am using Windows 10 and after he recent update the only way that I can connect to nas is through a web browser. Before I could just go to it through the network are and move files around. I have it connected through our router so that all computers can connect to it. Only the computer with Win 10 can no longer see it.

Also just realized that it will not pick it up through iTunes as well. I remember this happening with an earlier update. I did update the NAS as well today when asked.

I had a problem with my Synology NAS after upgrading to Win 10. For some reason it had me logging in under my Windows Live account instead of my local account. This was causing all kinds of problems. Switched back to local and everything worked fine.

I seem to have the same problem, but didn't notice it until you mentioned it. My scheduled backups from the same desktop are working fine, but I can't browse the NAS using File Explorer.

I assume you guys have created user accounts on the NAS that matched what you had for your Windows login before switching to 10?

If so, as I said above, you are possibly logged into Windows under your Live account. If this is not the same as your NAS login, your credentials are not being properly passed.

I was signed in through a local account and using the credentials I set up with the NAS. It was always spotty before, but with the latest update it just plain disappeared. I got with support and it took them about 45 min to get it straightened out.

They had to delete the account from the computer and reset it up. Once done they were able to map the drive. I did also see that you can browse through the file system if you had Raidar on your comp. Just open it and go through browse. Here is a link if you any one needs it. NetGear Raidar

I remember they had a problem last year with the same thing and iTunes not syncing. They were able to update it pretty quick.

Add On: Apparently all he did was create a shortcut. It allows for me to get to the files easier, but it is still not coming up under the network tab. It is still not working with iTunes or any of the other programs that stored their files on it.

Just an FYI for anyone with a similar issue as I was having where your devices did not recognize new or changed media in the NAS...

I had to go into ReadyNAS admin page > System > Settings > ReadyDLNA and then click "Rescan". It took a while to re-index everything, but now my devices read all the media properly.
