My HD200 problems in standalone mode with ReadyNAS

[Slack]

Love it at home - when I use 2 of them to connect to my server.
Love them.

Took my bedroom unit, and my ReadyNAS on vacation. And the thing is pretty damn awful as a standalone unit. This rental house has a theater, and I though I would bring the whole shebang and have lots to choose from...

ReadyNAS and HD200 are connected via 100 megabit switch. I can browse the shares but nothing will play.

Error: ERROR (-2): Files selected for playback are no longer on disk

I just updated the firmware to latest beta (via USB). And it still cannot play form the readyNAS shares. The share is there - it is public I can map it to a drive on my laptop and video play fine.

I even downloaded SageTV and connected in extender mode. The only way I can play videos is if I coppy them to the SageTV server hard drive - they will not play even in extender mode if I 'browse sageTV server's network'.
It does nothing.. then responds with same error.

I really thought ReadyNAS issues were put to bed along time ago. WTF? Why should this be so hard?


Any suggestions?

Edit: FWIW Shares are wide open on the ReadyNAS - No security

Are the DVDs ripped as directories or ISOs?

Manually set. Static Ips.

Oh, and Moderators - Nice rename of the thread. How about you add ReadyNAS to that so I might get some lucky bloke to see that and offer advice.

"Epic failure" was justified....

I have multiple computers, and (2) gen 1 xboxes running XBMC - all serving up content on this ReadyNAS. It's the mighty HD200 that can't deliver the goods. It is damn annoying. Numerous threads on this board imply that I should implement user security security on my ReadyNAS??

I dont know if this is may be related to your issue, but something else to check.

Been a long time since I struck this, now just let the server scan the shares, but I was caught by they dnla process dieing on the readynas due to too many files when the HD200 scanned it. Logging onto the readynas to stop and start the process fixed it until the next scan
