I have DLNA server configured on RT-N66U, and it's correctly showing all video files in the configured directory - except one. That one seems to be the same .mkv file as other files in the same directory, which are visible and playable. If I navigate to the same directory configured as SAMBA, I see the file and can play it by VLC and by standalone blu-ray player. But when looking via UPnP, it's not visible.

Wondering, what could be the reason.

Make sure the file isn't damaged or corrupted.
 
Not damaged... watched it from start to finish.

I tried two DLNA servers, Servilio and TVMObly; both showed it OK. See the screenshot of what VLC can see in UPnP - "Se7en" can be seen in those two, but not in "Homelan" which is router's server.

No idea then. Could be a bug with minidlna's parser.
