As far as I can see those files are shortcut links not actual files that can be streamed. They all have the extension .lnk

I think there must be a bug here.

I've done some testing by giving an existing directory in a shared folder a similar name with a ".1" at the end.
Looking on my PS4 I can not see that directory any more.

Searching though the logs I can see that UMS is initially scanning that directory and can see the videos inside and adds it to the database, but that is not included in the response back to the PS4.

The next time there is a browse request for the shared folder there is no mention of that directory.

Edit: I just remembered that it had been mentioned on GitHub so it is a known bug and hopefully will be addressed soon. I'll post a reply linking this thread.

This has been fixed and will be in the release after 10.15.0
