Hi

I have a Synology NAS drive and I like to stream video from it to my VU+, but I have no idea how to do this. If I go to NetworkBrowser on my VU I can see my sinology but no file under it, any help...

You need to creeate a CIFS share for it. Once done it will pop up in the NetworkBrowser and you can create a mount for it.


Currently in use: VU+ Duo 4K (2xFBC S2), VU+ Solo 4K (1xFBC S2), uClan Usytm 4K Pro (S2+T2), Octagon SF8008 (S2+T2), Zgemma H9.2H (S2+T2)

Due to my bad health, I will not be very active at times and may be slow to respond. I will not read the forum or PM on a regular basis.

Hi,

personally I would use NFS instead of CIFS.

 

ciao

Hi,

 

You simply need to define a user/password on your Synology, allow this user on the share that you want to access... use networkbrowser and type this user / password when you will create your mount point.

ok, still not sure what to do, If I go to Shared Folder in Synology I can create new shared folder, but there is no option for NFS or CIF, I have Synology DC411j  running DSM5.0.

And in VU+, in mount point I go to "Add new network mount point" I got this option "Locla share name", "Mount type", "server ip", " sercver share", "Use HDD replacement" and "Mount options"  

In "Local share name" I put shared folder name that I choose on Synology (video), and in "mount type" I choose NFS share, server Ip I type IP of my synology (192.168.1.66), but in "server share" I have no idea and in Mount options I have no idea. 

There is no User and password option....

Me too, but those shares will not pop up in the NetworkBrowser, and that was the question.

Can you see the share from a Windows PC if you access the synology? If the answer is yes, then it's a CIFS share.

 

I am not familiar with the mount options of Enigma (I use the commandline), so I have to pass the rest of the question on to someone else.
