Is this a Windows PC? What version of Windows are you using?
Windows 10
When you are playing media, are you using DLNA?
Also, can can you go into "turn windows features on or off" and make sure the SMB v1 client is enabled on the PC?
Hi StephenB
How can I tell if I am using DLNA?
I now have SMC v1 disabled due to serious security issues, however at the time I posted my message, it was partially active.
Are these going to be needed, moving forward? I now am worrying about security

But SMB v1 is required to access your old NAS - it's the only version of SMB that it supports. So if you don't use it, you will need to replace it with an OS-6 NAS like the RN212 (which supports the current SMB v3). You could then use the Duo to back up the RN212 (using rsync, and turning SMB off in the Duo).
Personally I don't see a lot of risk in using SMB v1 on a home network - particularly if you save the NAS account credentials in your PCs. But there's more than one view on that.
