Play Video from a Network Share
The shared folder must be added to the player browser file list.
To add a shared file folder:
1. From the files browser, click Network Shares. The Network Shares dialog box opens.
Network Path:
Options:
Local Name:
\\192.168.127.101\sharedFolder
Network - Shares
MediaShare
Save Cancel
Network Shares
Figure 47. Network Share Configuration
2. Enter the path of the shared folder.
Network Path: Server address (or server name) and share name format depending on
protocol:
SMB/CIFS: \\<server_ip_address>\<share_name>\<optional_
directory>
NFS: server:/<share name> where server can be the IP address or host name of
the server.
NOTE: Network shares supports both IP address and host name path options. For
example, the host name in figure 47 is HOSTSERVER. The Network Path: name
is then: \\HOSTSERVER\SharedFolder.
3. If necessary, enter additional switches into the options field (see Network Shares
Dialog on page85). This field is used to pass credentials, if required. By
default, the CIFS mount adds “user=” and “guest=” to the mount options, for an
anonymous login. No spaces are allowed between the user and password (Example:
user=username,pass=password).
