Hi I'm trying to access my the shares on my ReadyNAS 104 from my media player (Popcorn Hour). Both are connected via a Netgear WNDR3700 and the network setup is fine. I can also access the files in...

1. Why?
2. Is the full path just not visible or is there a data/Movie1/Movie1 full path somewhere?
3. Where are the movies that won't play, are they in Movie1 or Movie2?
Have you tried setting your library up with unique folder and subfolders.
Although default access is to all network clients, perhaps set the PCH IP address in the nfs network settings on the nas.
PS "vandermerwe" is just my forum name, I am from SA but live elsewhere now.
1. It wasn't by design really. I have a USB HDD enclosure attached to the PCH and the disks are names "Movie1", "Movie2", etc. I was just following the same format to be honest. I setup the ReadyNAS with no RAID and the first disk was left as "Data". I then added a 2nd disk as "Movie1". I then setup a folder with the name "Movie1" and started adding files. I didn't know that the name of the disk was actually important (I guess that it is with NFS!)
2. There is no Movie1 on the Data disk.
3. They are in both. All of the shares below have video files in them. I can't play any of them vis NFS - same problem in that I can see them but they fail to play.
I hadn't tried your other two suggestions to be honest so it's definitely something that I will try.
I'll get some screenshots up in a short while to show you guys the setup of the ReadyNAS. Thanks for your feedback - much appreciated.
