I'm just about to buy a NAS but just wanted to make sure before I do that the Nexus player will be able to access it.
I have the Nexus player connected by ethernet. Will I be able to point Kodi to access media files on the NAS?
Thanks in advance.
For sure! Use Kodi and have mapped drives connected via SMB.

I have a nas drive that i sftp too. Im able to stream media, mp3/avi, from mylaptop. Id like to connect my nas drive to my phone and stream. possible?
In my house, I have a rather large media network.
Components:
2tb seagate external hard drives with media (x3)
2 Laptops (Windows 7)
1 "media server" (pc running windows 7 connected to 2tb harddrives)
1 Belkin N+ Router
Right now, the "Media Server" streams media from the 3 2tbhd's to the 2 laptops as well as a PS3. The 2 laptops are networked to stream and the PS3 receives it's streaming via PS3mediaserver.
When I am at home, my HTC HD2 connects to my home network. How do I get the media on those harddrives streamed to the HTC HD2? I know it has a media streaming app but thus far using the physical address on the network has not worked.
Thoughts?
Thanks

You need a streaming server that the HD2 can use either via the browser or the streaming media app, over the wifi ...
I would check out tversity , it is free and pretty damn cool ....

Orb is another one that's worth checking out:
www.orb.com
I will look in to Orb.
I tried Tversity previously to stream all media to the PS3. Unfortunately, it would crash when I tried to direct it to more that one external hard drive. I might look into it again. I am sure I will find out it when I look at it, but I wonder if they have added "thumbnail" previews. They had not in the past.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to share media from my I9000 with my windows Vista desktop (connected via LAN)?
When I tried scanning from my phone it could not find any device. I think this maybe because perhaps a wired connection cannot be connected to DLNA? Could someone let me know if there is some way to do this?
TIA
Dear friend
You can access to your mobile files and folders via Wireless lan with WEBSHARING software.
Also I am interested to know how can I share my files in my PC with My Galaxy S
Actually I am looking for streaming not just file sharing.
Is there any way to get this within Windows itself?
make sure your phone is connected via wifi in the same network with any device that runs a DLNA compatible player (such as Windows Media Player) then run "allshare" and you will see the name of the computer(s) with the player...
I hope this helped.
it doesnt work for me. my computer is connected via a cable , while my mobile phone connects wireless to the same router..
Doesn't work for me either. In the Media Player "media sharing" I am unable to see the Galaxy S.
i just tried. it's working on my windows 7 32bit.
running the latest Wmedia Player. which i believe is 11?
streaming media FROM my phone, streaming media TO my phone.
i'm using JPY from samfirmware.
oh yea i'm connected to WIFI on both my laptop and my phone.
It doesn't matter how your pc is connected to your network (wifi or cable). You should "see" the computer that runs DLNA player via allshare and choose it. After that, your computer sees the gallery of your phone and is able to browse and play media from it.
Edit: Galaxy S shows up in the media player's library
Does anyone know how I can stream video content (.avi or MP4 or even the occasional MKV) from my nexus 7 to my Mac HTPC and watch it on my TV? I used to just connect HDMI when I had an Asus TF700T OR if I download something on my Macbook Air laptop I can connect wirelessly Mac to Mac.
I have tried a couple things I thought might work like Skifta but I can’t get it to work for me and it seems like it is a one way stream from mac to nexus. I know I can download from nexus to mac (both wired and wireless) and then play but it would be nice to just stream and delete the file on the tablet when I am done.
Any ideas?
Nobody? Cant be done apparently.....
Has anyone tried connecting an external USB BluRay/DVD ROM drive to Nexus Player via OTG? I have Kodi installed on the Nexux Player, would this configuration allow me play DVD or Bluray? Would Nexus provide enough power to the drive?
