I have a "MOVIES" folder shared with UPnP AV Server enabled. 
The MOVIES folder has three sub-folders:  G, PG, and (you guessed it) R.
Under each of G, PG, and R, there is a folder for each movie.  Each of the movie folders has the movie file and a "folder.jpg" file to display the movie cover.

I can see the DNS-321 from my XBOX by browsing from "Video Library".  I see "Folders" and "All Movies". 

Under "All Movies" I see movies from all three sub-folders, but the movie listing hasn't changed in some time, even though I've been adding new ones regularly.

Under "Folders", I can browse to each sub-folder, but the PG does not show any movies at all.  The G and R folders show movies, but again, I don't see any of the ones I've added in the last couple months (at least) or so.

I tried disabling/enabling, refreshing, rebooting, etc., but nothing has changed what I see on the XBOX.  When I disable UPnP on the DNS-321, I no longer see it as a "computer/server" on my XBOX.

Is there a folder enumeration issue, maybe?  Here is the total movie folder count listed by G, PG, R sub-folder:
G:  11
PG:  109
R: 81

These may not be totally accurate because a movie folder might have other movies folders because of sequels.  For example:
R--
    Saw --
             Saw
             Saw II
             Saw III
             etc.

Thanks for your time in reading and responding.  I've been frustrated with this for a long time now.  Every time I suggest watching a movie to my wife, she gets frustrated because I spend 30 minutes trying to get this to work.  She either gives up on me or waits until I resign and copy it to a thumb drive (which works great through the XBOX LOL).  I'm stubborn, but I'm done trying to make this work.  I really hope somebody knows what is going on here.

Thanks,
Drew

Let me start by saying that I love my DNS-321.  It has been super reliable for me from day one.  That said, may I suggest not using the UPnP server on it for streaming?  I had issues with it and just decided to run with TVersity on a separate system and set it NOT to transcode so it just hands the bits over to the XBOX 360 (or PS3, etc.).  If this all takes place over wireless, I doubt that'd be good...but if at least the DNS-321 to PC with TVersity link is wired, you should be fine.  That said, if someone has a way to make sure things work with UPnP I'd LOVE to hear that solution too...  I just got frustrated early on and bagged it as I'd experimented with a handful of UPnP servers and TVersity always seemed the most stable to me (although a manual refresh was needed to make things show up that were just added - otherwise it refreshes on a daily schedule I believe).

Cheers,
