I have a directory that has 6 TV MP4 recordings (of 3 different, two part shows), divided up as "part 1" and "part 2" at the end of their respective titles. When I view this directory from my DLNA client (the Roku Media Player, which is working perfectly for all the other video files), only the "part 1" files appear. Both the "part 1" and "part 2" MP4 video files are in identical formats, created through exactly the same process. All are of nearly identical sizes, about 6.5GB each.
As mentioned above, I do not see any issues like this with the many, many other directories and files that I have Jellyfin and its DLNA plug-in serving up, even though most of those contain many more files than the 6 total in this directory. I have verified that all the missing "part 2" video files are playable both locally and remotely through a standard web browser (being served up by an independent web server).
I tried copying one of the "part 2" files to the same directory with a different "test" title prefix - and that makes it show up in the directory after a few minutes - but the count of the high level directory still remains at 3, even though there are now 4 visible files appearing in it. So the fact that the original "part 2" files aren't showing up is related to the similarity in the bulk of the video's title, but why?
So does anyone have any idea why the similarly named "part 2" video files aren't appearing in my DLNA client's view of this directory unless I rename them? Thanks for any thoughts and assistance!
