Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 23, 2019 Administrators Posted February 23, 2019 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.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 23, 2019 Administrators Posted February 23, 2019 As in you've made a ticket? What's the ticket number, we can escalate it.
xlr8r Posted February 23, 2019 Author Posted February 23, 2019 when i tried to request assistance it said my support had ended.... is there somewhere else to open a ticket ? if you have a link that would be great. thanks
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 23, 2019 Administrators Posted February 23, 2019 Unfortunately not. I assume using with the media share you can see/play the files on a PC?
xlr8r Posted February 23, 2019 Author Posted February 23, 2019 yes files are accessible from a pc but not tv ? tv sees folders but no contents ...?
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 23, 2019 Administrators Posted February 23, 2019 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
xlr8r Posted February 23, 2019 Author Posted February 23, 2019 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)
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 23, 2019 Administrators Posted February 23, 2019 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.
