USB Storage - Media Server malfunction


Recommended Posts

ok reopening this as there is still an issue i cannot resolve

old topic was here 

 

 

so... i have the media share setup and i can open the folders using my SONY Smart Tv but it says there are no files ?

this is router related as the tv can access and play files no problem from m NAS but not from the share setup on the drive connected to the router ?

it shows the folders but no content within ?

anyone know how to fix ths ?

 

thanks

I'd highly suggest contacting Netgear about this. It's a specific feature of their settings and so not something we're overly familiar with and that which they'd be better suited to help.

tried that , got nowhere (as per usual with Netgear)

I'm assuming the files you've got on the share are openable by the TV? As in you've tried to open those types of files before and it has worked? It might be worth looking up your specific TV model and see if theres any support in relation to a media server

not wasting time with netgear, pulled hard drive off xr500, stuck it on arse of the NAS and added it as a ahare on the NAS.

Sony tv now accesses files perfectly

Media Server clearly broken on XR500 and subsequently disabled (along with Hybrid VPN lol)

I will pass it on to the team to confer with Netgear about this, might be something specific with TV's ability to see the content.

okay thanks Fraser
