Media Server Issue: Not All Folders Visible on TV (TP-Link AX3000)
Hello everyone,
I am experiencing a very frustrating issue with my TP-Link AX3000 4-Stream Wi-Fi 6 Router and an external USB hard drive.
I have a 4TB hard drive connected via USB to the router, and I am trying to view the multimedia content on my TVs using the router's Media Server/DLNA function.
The Problem: Not all folders and files are appearing on my TVs. I have never encountered this problem before, and I don't know what is causing it.
Details of the Issue:
-
The hard drive is 4TB, and I have always been able to see all the files previously.
-
I can only see the content I need on my TV by manually selecting and deselecting folders one by one within the router's USB/Media Server settings.
-
If I select all the shared folders in the router settings, only two folders are displayed on the TV. This is very confusing and frustrating.
-
I can see all the folders and files correctly when accessing the drive from my computers (via SMB/Samba), but I need to be able to use the TV's media player.
-
I have looked through the router's menu, but I can't find any additional configuration options to fix this.
It's a complete hassle having to constantly go into the router settings to select/deselect folders just to view specific media content on my TVs.
Has anyone else experienced this with the TP-Link AX3000 or a similar router? Any advice on how to get the Media Server to properly scan and display all the selected folders would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
