Have you got DS video installed on your nas as well? That’s where you set up libraries. I’ve got one set up for home movies as well

Hi, yes that is correct for how you login to DSVideo on your Aura,

ip address 192.168.1.xx where xx is your Aura

Then user name and password.

As stated above, you also need DSVideo installed from the packages in the package centre on the Synology DS server.

It works fine as is, but you can use mxplayer(as stated earlier), or VLC player as well I think. Like the previous poster I also have mxplayer set as an external player as without it you sometimes get a odd file which won't play.

Righto, I'll install DS-Video on my NAS. I'll probably wait till after Christmas as our granddaughter is over-dosing on TV!
