So something clearly wasn't right. Why didn't it work for me when it did for them? I finally found the answer. It turns out it can be done, but only on NTFS-based shares. Here's the how-to; pretty standard stuff. So it does work... just not for us :(

The folks on your how-to thread also say that even with shares mounted from other windows systems they could only get it to work with photos, not with videos or music.

You can put get nas shares into your library folders with some effort (though they aren't indexed). Though I might be ok with that on a desktop, I don't think its the best idea on a laptop or surface. It'd be too easy to put something on the NAS that you'd intended to access locally.
