Samsung UN55ES8000, ReadyNAS
I purchased a Samsung UN55ES8000, and am trying to connect it to my ReadyNAS...
I have ReadyDLNA up and running, I have created a readonly user on the NAS for the TV... but the only thing I can see on the TV to connect is to use AllShare, which requires a Samsung account, not my readynas account.
What's the best place to post to figure this out??

- You don't need a username to use DLNA. It is public guest. I have the 50" 6100 version, and am using DLNA right now.
I have a Samsung account (used to login to NetFlix/Pandora/etc). Not sure if that is needed to use DLNA, I wouldn't think so. But I select the AllShare listing in Sources for the NAS, and can browse files just fine. - Oh... interesting. I wonder, because I have my NAS share access disabled by default. Is there a way to ente ra usrename/password from the TV to access the NAS? Or do I have to let public/everyone have read only access?
- DLNA doesn't have auth, so if you use that, its wide open guest read-only. If you want to use auth, you'd need someone that can connect CIFS/NFS/etc, which the TV doesn't do out of the box, you'd need a wdTV/etc for that.
