Stream to vlc on android with r6120

Hello everyone i just changed my WiFi Router from the netgear wnr 2200 with dd wrt Firmware to a r6120.
Use a 1tb hard disk. The disk works perfect on the 2200, means I can stream media from usb drive at router >> to vlc on android phone (>> and then to chromecast etc).
On the 6120 the disc is found too.
I can access files using android file browser es file explorer. So it's working in general.

But I need to stream media to vlc on android. Nothing I try there works - ftp, smb etc.
Always the directory is shown as empty.

How to solve this? Thanks in advance
