Smart TV - lockout my media from ReadyNAS 102
I am missing something here? I am unable to lock out my media files (photos, music, videos) on my ReadyNAS 102 from being viewed on my Samsung smart TV by anyone using the TV. I either want to require a password, or if I cant do that at least lock out access entirely. I don't want members or guest in my household to have access to my media files on my ReadyNAS.
I tried setting security on each share: network access > SMB > security only myself and admin? There are so many settings, I bet I am doing it the completely wrong way. My guess is that the samsung talks to the network and the ReadyNAS in a different way, which means I need to approach this through a different set of security settings.
Any help, insight, or direction would be greatly appreciated.

- I suspect that you are using DLNA - which doesn't provide access controls.
- I am using DLNA on my ReadyNAS or on my TV? I assume if due to my TV, I have no other options, but if I am using DLNA though my ReadyNAS then what will give me access control?
- DLNA is a client/server protocol, so both devices would need to use it. The RN102 has ReadyDLNA and Plex available- you likely set up one when you installed the NAS.
If neither ReadyDLNA nor Plex are active on the NAS, then you must be using a different protocol. Perhaps your SMART TV user manual will tell you what it supports.
But if you are using DLNA, it won't do what you want - the protocol itself doesn't have access controls. Which is a surprising omission.
