iTunes Server not showing up in Windows 10 iTunes software for RN516
Let me explain what I am trying to do.
I have a ReadyNas 516 with firmware 6.4.1 installed.
Under System, Settings, I have turned on iTunes services. Enable iTunes server checkmark is checked.
I have created a share and called it music. This share has SMB, DLNA, and iTunes protocols enabled. It is the only share with iTunes protocols enabled.
I have copied my music collection to the share called music.
I start iTunes from my Windows 10 PC (Version 12.3.2.35) and I assume I should see something that has to do with opening a shared iTunes library, but I don't.
I have also tried this from by MacBook pro and iMac (Version 12.3.2.35) and I don't see anything about a shared iTunes library.
What am I missing here?
Please help.
Where are you looking for it? Home Sharing doesn't work on linux itunes servers.
In Windows iTunes, there's a house icon with a note inside it right under the file menu (upper left). When I click on that, I see the ReadyNAS server as one of the choices.

How long ago did you enable the iTunes servicea nd how much Music do you have in your Music share? When you enable the iTunes service it needs to do an initial scan of the media.
Can you send me your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?
Are your PCs and Macs connected to your network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi? If via Wi-Fi does it make any difference if you connect via Ethernet?How long ago did you enable the iTunes servicea nd how much Music do you have in your Music share?

It has been enabled for days with no luck. I even deleted the music share, and recreated it, without success.
Yes I can send logs.

iMac and PC are Ethernet. MacBook Pro wireless. It makes no difference.
