media not showing up properly on Fire TV or Windows 8.1
When I access my RN104 on readycloud all of the movies and music I've added show up properly. However, when I try to do the same in File Explorer in Windows 8.1 two of the seven movies I've added so ...
ReadyDLNA is built in, but you'd need to enable it in system->settings under services. Then you'd also need to turn it on for each media share (network access in the share settings). Plex would need to be installed as an app, and it is set up through plex.tv (you'd also need at least a free account there). Plex has its own media naming conventions - they look similar to Kodi's, but might not be identical.
I use SMB with my media players, and I think its a better option if the player supports it. We also use SMB to access videos on our computers (VLC player).
I have set up plex for mobile devices/away from home use on the RN200 series - which supports transcoding. The CPU on the RN100 isn't fast enough for transcoding though.
