Djmount is a UpNp/Dlna client.
If your Nas support UpNp/Dlna protocol you have first to enable it in your Nas and then to start in your box dlna client (blue -> blue ->UPnP client djmount)
After it is enabled you will access to your NAS going in menu -> mediaplayer media/upnp
The alternative way is to mount your nas in your box like an external disk
Goto blue -> blue -> Network Browse & Mountpoints and follow instructions

Thi si the Linux fascination. Try and try and try and finally understand and works.
Ι also have a problem . I cannot see my common files, videos etc and my WMP library of my Windows 7 PC on Vu+Solo2. (I don't use a password for login)
My TV , blueray, android phone can do that BUT Vu Solo cannot.
I can see only my PCName under media/uPnp. I am not able to see folders or common files.
I also tried to mount my PC in Browse Network --> click Mount Managment --> add new network mountpoint, insert ip, select protocol etc but didn't make any difference.
Please someone.

The only thing that i m not sure is when i add a network point what I state for "server share". The default is: "export/hdd" .
I assume I have to change it but to what?
I have 4 disks on the Windows PC with movies folders which are common for everyone as I stated that on Windows7

setting up share in windows 7:
Select folder/drive which you'd like to share in your network, then:
right mouse click > properties > sharing > share > select "everyone" > add > Permission level: Read/Write > share > done
and your folder is already shared
(if your folder is in \User\PC_name(admin)- e.g.: Desktop, My documents, My Videos etc., you need to go to [Advanced sharing] and select tick-box "share this folder")
adding CIFS share in vu solo2:
blue > blue > network browse and mountpoints > lan connection > select your PC > press green button (mounts management) > add new network mount point
and settings should be as follow:
Active: Enable
Local share name: movies //name of your share as it will appear in your vu
Mount type: CIFS share
Server IP: 192.168.0.22 //your PC IP address
Server share: cinema //share name from your PC
Use as HDD replacement: no
Mount options: rw
Username: admin //your_PC_name/PC_username
Password: ... //your password if you have any
then press ok and your PC files can be accessed using ftp client or movie player
Good luck
mods/admins: can you add this tutorial to "bh how to..." It will be very useful for everyone here

Hi,
I'm a total newbie and have gained my limited experience to date, by searching through the many forums here - which all knowledgeable members deserve a big pat on the back for their help.
I have mounted a network folder pointing to a linux NAS hard drive the path is smb://GP/Xtreamer/SDA1/Videos
MediaCenter can access the folder but none of the movies can be seen.
However, if I use the XBMC plugin, all the movies are there, listed, but they cannot be played ( have queried this already with the XBMC team but no joy as of yet)
No issues with playback using my windows 7 PC either.
Just to add - the NAS is Upnp / DNLA / SMB / NFS, compatible and can also ftp , telnet onto it & browse it from the web
Any ideas??
