set different devices to see different folders/files?

Hi,

is it possible to only allow certain devices to be able to see certain folders/files over DLNA?

E.G. I want my Xbox one and 360 to be able to see all files that I upload to my NAS then my brothers 360 and step dads PS3 to be able to see only my Film and Series Folders?

Cheers, Jake.

DLNA doesn't have any security mechanisms, it is either all or nothing....

That depends on your media playback device. Some support CIFS and NFS access.
