I recommend following this to see if it might correct the issue.

1. Don't save current configuration settings.
2. Factory reset the router.
3. Re-send the v1.01 B9 FW.
4. Do one more factory reset after the FW file has been processed.
5. Set up the router from scratch, do not re-load any saved configuration from file as there are differences seen between FW versions that causes differences in saved configuration files. So after you set up the router from scratch, generation a new saved configuration to file.

Ensure that your drives you are using for Windows formatted to either FAT32 or NTFS:

Check with a Windows PC after you have enabled the Media Server, with Windows Media Player, it should see the connected drive or SD card and the contents. I'd put a few MP3s and some MP4 or some forum of video files on your test drive or card.

FurryNuts,

I did follow your instructions, and  can sadly report that nothing changed. Its the same guessing game, will media server show my movie folders? Renaming folders seems to improve things, but not always.
I cant understand what this is. Cant someone at D-Link acknowledge that the media server is NOT fully
working?

Cheers

Does the devices see any media files if they are put in the root folder or at the top level? Test some MP3s and MP4s at the root of the drive or SD card you are using to test.

If still nothing, I'm going to recommend that you phone contact DLink support and ask for level 3 or higher support for your region and inquire about this.

Let us know if you find anything out.

I have 6 folders on the top level. Only one folder showed up on the media server. I copied one mp3-file to the top level, and it shows up.

Im viewing the network disk in three different ways, DLNA from my PC, DLNA from my bluray-player, and as a mounted network disk from my pc. Can this setting cause some unwanted interference? Another thing I noticeis that my mount point  shows up as 192.168.0.1/usb(b1) OR 192.168.0.1/usb(a1), no SD card mounted on the router. So after restart I never know in advance the mount Point. That tells me that there are some inconsistencies in the internal logic on the DIR-857. Unless you don't have anything more to suggest, I will follow your advice earlier on the level 3 support here in Sweden.

Im wondering if there is a problem with the level of folders or even if multiple levels of folders are supported. If you can see multiple files at the root level, this maybe the only support it has. Test multiple video and music files at the root level.

I would ask support about this and see if multiple folders should be normally supported or not.

Keep us posted.

Not sure why it's changing unless they make it that way...or there is a bug.
I found a v1.02 beta on DLinks Russian web site. Care to give it a go? I can't promise anything...

I have internet access directly into my apartment, so I cant give you that information, a cat 6 Cable from the socket into the router. I would give that russian FW a try but...my wife is killing me if I take down the router anymore, and even
if I did, I would really appreciate some info on what the different FW versions out there are fixing. I cant see any information on whats changed, so I you have any info on that, Im willing to give it a try.

Reason for asking about modem is to see or find out if there is a built in router by chance. These can effect how the router gets some information like Time.

Unfortunately there isn't any information on what this beta build does or fixes. It would be a trial and error kind of thing. You can downgrade to v1.01 should the v1.02 beta not work. If your users are needing the router, I would pick a time when you can test the router out when nobody is needing the router or connections.

I wait on testing that beta, curious to know about your findings on support for multiple folders on top level, Before I continue...this may be "by design", but I doubt it, since I've seen missing folders on lower level as well.

Cheers

PS If you want you can share the link to that beta version.

Please follow this for doing the upgrade and don't load any saved configurations from file. Lets try this from scratch after you load the FW and do a factory reset before and after sending the file:

Did you want to give that Beta a try or try our v1.04NA?

I have forwarded this onto my contact at D-Link. Can't promise anything. I'll keep poking about on this.
