RN202 streaming to SMART TV
I'm wondering, if I'm trying to do something, that is not possible, or if there is an error in the system/setup.
I have just installed my ReadyNAS 202 with 2 harddrives and uploaded a few video files. Same way as I did with my old STORA drive, but I guess this ReadyNas has some more options to play with and should be stronger.
When I start my SmartTV (Samsung HT-E6500/XE) I can sometimes find the STORA box via AllShare, but never the ReadyNAS
I have installed the PLEX app on both the RN202 and the SmartHub, and via PLEX I can find and watch the videos; but I would really like to find it directly in the AllShare folder from the loading screen, which would also make it more easy to listne to music.
Since I get small glitches with PLEX, I guess it would also be better to stream it directly, no?
Is it possible to set it up, like I want with the AllShare function, or is PLEX the only way?

There is no Allshare (which is a specific dlna server) but you could try ReadyDLNA instead of plex. It is also built-in.
The ReadyDNLA has been active all the time...

Then you could try turning off plex, and see which one works better for you.
I can't think of a good reason to run both plex and ReadyDLNA.
