Media server solutions on ReadyNAS 104
Short version of my question: What is the best media browsing and streaming solutions on ReadyNas (from a TV)? I have runs a search on the forum and most support request are about the Plex server when it comes to Media servers. When using version 6.1 of the firmware my LG with WebOS TV was able to connect and maintain a stable connection. I will create a separate post for this but in this one I would like to know your opinion on how to best set up the box to be a media server so that I can connect from the TV/other devices and use a easy interface to search, play and organise media files for playing. On the apps directory i see the Logitech Media Server and Nero MediaHome. I have installed the Nero one but I still got to test it. I dont want to install Plex as it looks like too much of a manual mainteinance. Despite my opinion could you please point out to what is the best solution maybe with pro and cons?
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?
