files turned into empty folders and other weirdness

I have a 2tb external drive plugged into a linksys ea3500 router.

The movie files were slowly and randomly turning into 0kb folders of the same name, unwatchable in windows.

But if I look at the drive with linux, it sees and plays everything fine.

Last night I bricked the Linksys on accident in a firmware upgrade so had to buy a new one.

The one I bought, a belkin N600 has restored all my movies in windows.

However, the built in Townky dlna server is limited to 12,000 items. (that's not even all my music, so useless).

So screw twonky and linksys, hooray Belkin and Serviio!

Now to spend the rest of the day reindexing, sigh.
