stream from DS1512+ to PCH A-110

[dsr05]

Hi,

I am planning to purchase a DS1512+ to replace my DIY WHS,once I copy all of the movies over 2 it. I would then like to stream from the 1512+ to my popcorn hour A-110, the way I do this now is from A-110 network browser, workgroup, server and then videos, in the server I have given the
guest account full access with no password and have no problem streaming. If I go into DS manager
have the same settings with guest account, have the nas join the same workgroup will the PCH be able to see and play my movies, I plan to give the nas a diffrent name.
Please let me know if what I plan to do will work.

Regards,

If your player can browse to a network share, the DS1512+ will work fine.

There will be 3 particular folder that you have to use if you want to enable DLNA on 1512+

Video
Photo
Music

These are the default directory that any DLNA client like popcorn would be able to see when you try to access to it.

Needless to say, you don't even have to give guest account. Once your files are in these directory, it will be visible, if you have any private files, place them in any other folders.

The setting in the popcorn allow you to save a SMB/CIFS share with credentials so that it always appears on the home page of the popcorn when you turn it on.
far easier than browsing for server/shares.

Also don't bother to use the DS built in Media server (DNLA).
The SMB/CIFS works far better with the popcorn.
